	The main aim is simply to ground the ball in your opponents' half of the court, whilst preventing them from grounding it in your half. The basic rules are as follows.Indoor volleyball is played with six players per team, divided by an 8ft net. The players are arranged in six starting positions as two rows of three, a front row (next to the net) and a back row. Play begins with one team serving the ball over the net. The other team then has three touches to get the ball back without it touching the ground.
The usual actions are an underhand dig (with the forearms) by one player, then an overhand set or volley (with open hands) by another player so that a third player can spike (smash) the ball back over the net. The opposing team can jump up to try and block the spike, but then have their own three touches in which to first keep the ball off the floor and then get the ball back over the net again. A point is won when the ball lands, either in or out of court. The team that won the last point serve, and if they have just regained the serve from their opponents, that team's players rotate one position clockwise (called a side-out).
