Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team’s court under organized rules. It has been a part of the official program of the Summer Olympic Games since Tokyo 1964.
A perfect step for those who’ve completed an intro program or have basic experience. Participants refine their core volleyball skills, improve consistency, and learn beginner gameplay strategies—all in a fun, supportive environment.
