Beachvolleyball is a team sport played by two teams of two or more players on a sand court divided by a net. Similar to indoor
volleyball, the objective of the game is to send the ball over the net and to ground it on the opponent's side of the
court. Each team also works in unison to prevent the opposing team from grounding the ball on their side of the court.
Teams are allowed up to three touches to return the ball across the net, and individual players may not touch the ball
twice consecutively except after a touch off an attempted block. Making a block touch leaves only two more touches
before the ball must be hit over. The ball is put in play with a serve-a hit by the server from behind the rear court
boundary over the net to the opponents. The receiving team typically uses their three touches to pass the ball, set it
up for an attack, and then attack the ball by sending it back over the net.
