Everybody has a hobby. Some people like sport, others painting or singing and my hobby is volleyball
Volleyball is a very popular team sport. When you start paying volleyball, you must have a good physical condition. Even young children can do this sport.
Every sport is difficult for a beginner. I started, when I was nine years old. You must practise a lot and learn the rules first. Then it’s great fun.
The object of the game is to place the ball in the opposing team’s play area and to prevent the ball from falling on our play area. The team has the right to bounce the ball three times to get it to the opponent’s side. A player cannot bounce twice in turn. It is allowed to bounce with any part of the body.
The game continues until you make a mistake:
- the ball falls on the opponent’s field of play
- the ball falls on our field of play or out of the field
- you touch the mesh
- you cross the center line
- the player crosses or touches the end line of the pitch when serving
- ball bounce error for example double bounce
- service error for example you cross the end line while serving.
When you play volleyball, you should wear special clothes such as:
-knee pads
-sleeves
-shorts
-T-shirt
- and sports shoes.
Young children at the age of ten or eleven play in pairs, but older children can play in threes, fours or even six players in a team.
But what is the most important rule for a player:
Always remember – when you lose a match, you mustn’t worry too much. Keep training and you can win the next match. Good luck!!!
