Volleyball is not only one of the most popular team sports in the world, but also a great hobby that provides a lot of satisfaction, joy and health benefits. For me, volleyball has become a passion.  

My adventure  with volleyball began in the 4th grade of elementary school. I then enrolled in additional volleyball classes. I wanted to hone my skills. I really enjoyed these classes. I would attend them a few times a week and perfect my game. My coach praised me a lot. We took part in many competitions. Our team won in every competition. We always came in first or second place. It was an extraordinary experience for me.  

Volleyball for me is more than just a sport. It is a lifestyle full of dynamics, emotions and incredible challenges. For me, volleyball has become an integral part of everyday life. It brings me a lot of joy and helps me develop on many levels. This sport gives me something special. Even though I don’t play volleyball as often as I used to, I still try to get back to it.

Volleyball brings many benefits aside from having a lot of fun. These benefits affect our health and well-being. Regular play strengthens muscles, improves fitness, and also develops motor coordination. Volleyball is also a great way to build interpersonal relationships. Whether you’re playing on a club team, a school team, or just with friends on the beach, this sport brings people together and teaches them how to work together to achieve common goals. 

🏐 Rules of the game: 🏐

Each team has six players on the field. The game takes place on the field measuring 18×9 meters. The goal of volleyball is to score points by hitting the ball into your opponent’s side of the court so that it lands within their half of the court without being returned. A team can hit the ball a maximum of three times before it goes to  the opponent’s side. The team has to score 25 points to win a set, with at least a 2-point lead. 

🏐 How to start? 🏐  

If volleyball as a hobby seems appealing, start with the basics. In many cities there are volleyball clubs where you can join amateur teams. There are also often classes for beginners to help you learn the technique and rules of the game. I started with that and volleyball became my passion.  

Time to put on your sports shoes and get out on the field!
