Today we're talking about volleyball, the fast moving team sport played on courts and beaches all over the world. Question 3 what separates the two teams in volleyball? Is it A, a river, B a wall, or C a net? If you picked C, that answer is right over the net, smarty pants. The net separates the two teams and stretches across the middle of the court. Players try to send the ball over it without letting the ball hit the ground on their side. Question 4 what is the first hit that starts a volleyball rally call? Is it A a serve, b a dribble, or C a kickoff? If you said a nice job, a serve starts each point by sending the ball over the net. You're bumping, setting and soaring through these questions.
