To play volleyball, two teams of six players compete to send the ball over the net so it lands in the opponent's court. Each team can touch the ball a maximum of three times before returning it, and points are scored when the ball hits the opponent's court, goes out of bounds on their side, or the opponent commits a fault. A game is won by reaching 25 points (with a two-point lead), except for the final set, which requires 15 points to win, also with a two-point lead
