Volleyball

Volleyball is the world's second most popular sport, ranking just behind soccer.

Worldwide, 800 million people play at least once a week. Because it's such an accessible sport and requires little in the way of equipment, it's a perfect activity for picnics and other outdoor gatherings. A court can be set up in minutes anywhere that there's a flat, open space.

Competition players, however, take the game very seriously, and gameplay can become remarkably intense.
