Volleyball

volleyball, Game played by two teams of six players each, in which an inflated ball is volleyed over a high net. Each team tries to make the ball touch the court within the opposing side's playing areas before it can be returned. A team is allowed to touch the ball three times before returning it.

  1. Any member of the receiving team may touch the ball. A player cannot touch the ball twice consecutively but could have the first and third touch before the ball is returned. If a player violates this rule, then they concede the point.

Basketball

Basketball is a team sport in which two teams, most commonly of five players each, opposing one another on a rectangular court.

The primary objective is to shoot a basketball through the defender's hoop at each end of the court while preventing the opposing team from shooting through their own hoop. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.

Players advance the ball by bouncing it while walking or running (dribbling) or by passing it to a teammate, both of which require considerable skill. The defensive team may steal the ball from a dribbler, intercept passes, or block shots. It is a violation to lift or drag one's pivot foot without dribbling the ball, to carry it, or to hold the ball with both hands then resume dribbling.

Badminton

Badminton is played either by two opposing players, or two opposing pairs. Each player (or team) stands on opposite halves of a rectangular court… and players score points by striking a shuttlecock with their rackets so that it passes over the net and lands in the opponent's half-court.

Badminton is a racquet sport played using racquets to hit a shuttlecock across a net. Although it may be played with larger teams, the most common forms of the game are "singles" (with one player per side) and "doubles" (with two players per side).
