Volleyball teams consist of six to eight players. The two teams must have an equal number of players.
Teams can score a point by winning a rally. Teams have up to three hits to return a ball or they lose the rally. A team can also win a rally if the opposing team hits the ball out of bounds, cannot return the ball or commits a fault.
The team that scores 25 points first and is leading by at least two points, wins. To win a match, teams must win the best of five games.
