Volleyball

Answer: D) 6

Explanation: In volleyball, each team is allowed a maximum of 3 touches to return the ball over the net. However, the first touch after the serve is not counted as one of the 3 touches, so a team has a total of 6 touches before the ball must be sent over the net.

An attack in volleyball is an attempt to direct the ball back over the net in such a way that the team receiving the ball is unable to pass the ball and continue the rally, thus, losing the point.

When a team wins a rally in volleyball, they are awarded a point and continue to serve.

A net foul in volleyball is touching the net during play.

A foot fault in volleyball is when the foot crosses over the boundary line while serving or under the net when a front row player is trying to keep the ball in play.

When a player on one team serves the ball over the net and it lands out of bounds, the receiving team is awarded a point.

The adapted version of volleyball played at the Summer Paralympic Games is called sitting volleyball.

The setter is responsible for setting up for an attack.

Dinking is the name for the technique in which a player strikes or pushes the ball with any part of the body.

Net foul is the name for the fault in which a player touches the net during play.

Beach volleyball is a version of volleyball played on sand . It was introduced to the Olympic program at the Atlanta 1996 Summer Olympics.

Sitting volleyball is the adapted version of volleyball played at the Summer Paralympic Games. It is similar to traditional volleyball, except that players are not allowed to stand up and play the game while sitting on the court.

The net in a volleyball court has a width of one meter (39.4 in).

The height of the net above the center of the court for men's competition is 2.43 m (7 ft 11+11⁄16 in).

The height of the net above the center of the court for women's competition is 2.24 m (7 ft 4+3⁄16 in).

The attack line in a volleyball court is a line 3 m (9.8 ft) from and parallel to the net, and it indicates the position from where a player can attack the ball.

The minimum height clearance for indoor volleyball courts is 7 m (23.0 ft), although a clearance of 8 m (26.2 ft) is recommended.

The antennae are placed on each side of the net perpendicular to the sideline, and they are a vertical extension of the side boundary of the court. A ball passing over the net must pass completely between the antennae (or their theoretical extensions to the ceiling) without contacting them.

Underhand serves are considered very easy to receive and are rarely employed in high-level competitions.

A jump float serve is an overhand serve where the ball is tossed high enough that the player may jump before hitting it similarly to a standing float serve. The ball is tossed lower than a topspin jump serve, but contact is still made while in the air. This serve is becoming more popular among college and professional players because it has a certain unpredictability in its flight pattern.

After a team gains possession of the serve, its members must rotate in a clockwise direction, with the player previously in area "2" moving to area "1" and so on, with the player from area "1" moving to area "6". Each player rotates only one time after the team gains possession of the service.

The free zone is a minimum of 3 meters wide and is a space around the team court that players may enter and play within after the service of the ball.

An antenna is placed on each side of the net perpendicular to the sideline and is a vertical extension of the side boundary of the court.

If a ball comes in contact with a line, the ball is considered to be "in".

Standing topspin serves are rarely used above the high school level of play in volleyball.

The outside hitter is usually the most consistent hitter on the team and gets the most sets.

The role of the opposite hitter in a volleyball team is to put up a well-formed block against the opponents' outside hitters and serve as a backup setter.

A defensive specialist is often used if you have a particularly poor back court defender in right side or left side, but your team is already using a libero to take out your middles.

The opposite hitter carries the defensive workload for the team in the front row by putting up a well-formed block against the opponents' outside hitters.

The libero is a defensive specialist who is responsible for receiving the serve and making the first pass, typically in the back row.

The outside hitter is usually the most consistent hitter on the team and gets the most sets.

A serving specialist is used to sub out a poor server on the team.

The outside hitter usually plays on the left side of the court and gets the most sets, while the middle hitter plays in the center of the court and is responsible for putting up a strong block.

A defensive specialist is used to substitute out a poor back row defender, typically a right-side player, using regular substitution rules.

The setter is responsible for setting up the attackers for a hit by placing the ball in the air in such a way that the attacker can hit it over the net and into the opponents' court.

The middle hitter is responsible for putting up a well-formed block against the opponents' middle hitters.

A high set in volleyball gives the attacker more time to approach the ball and hit it over the net.

The outside hitter in volleyball usually takes a longer approach before hitting the ball because most sets to the outside are high. Outside hitters, also known as power hitters, attack from near the antennas. Since most sets to the outside are high, the outside hitter may take a longer approach, sometimes even starting from outside the court sideline.
