Volleyball is a sport where six players of 1 team compete with two teams and win from the points of the highest team. There are six players: A Libero who defends the ball and does not let the ball touch the ground, A Ace who spikes(Hits the ball and tries to score) Middle Blocker ( A person who blocks the ball and sometimes spikes the ball), Left Wing Spiker-The person who spikes from the left. Right Wing Spiker-The person who spikes the ball from the right. There are usually 3 blockers; the left and right wing spiker also block the ball with the middle blocker. There is a setter who gives the ball by pushing to fit the position to hit the ball. There is also a decoy who acts as is going to hit the ball but doesn't. The decoy is usually from the players with a special place. There are 2 types of Match. The 3 set match and 5 set match. The set match means the players play three times. The first set has to get 25 points as well as the other two. The fifth one has to get 4 sets of 25 and the last one of 15. The net is usually more than 2 meters tall so jumping is very necessary and to even touch the net we must be 150 cm or above. For the libero jumping is not necessary. At the first of the match a position server which means to hit and throw it to the enemy base. We know that Volleyball is a sport to make the ball stay in the air. There are Many players playing professional volleyball but my favourite is Yujji Nishida. I also like to play volleyball and it is considered to be the National Game of Nepal. This is a very wonderful and fun game.
