VOLLEYBALL

        Is a team sport played by two teams of 6 players. The objective of the game is for each team to spend the ball regularly over the net to ground it on the opponent's court, and prevent the ball from being grounded on its own court. The rules are extensive but simply: a team is allowed to hit the ball 3 times to return it to the opponent's count. A player is not allowed to hit the ball twice consecutively, except when attempting a block. The rally continues until the ball touches the floor, goes ''out'' or a team fails to return it to the opponent's court or commits a fault.                                                                     The FIVB World Rankings is a ranking system for men's and women's national team in volleyball . As July,2016 the top 3 team in men's category are, world's no.1 Brazil, no. 2 Poland, no.3 Russia. In women's category are as follows, world's no.1 USA, no.2 Brazil, no.3 China.

        In 2001, the FIVB announced the male and female volleyball of the country. Players were selected based on top results, performance, stability, personal attitude and technical contribution to volleyball.
