    Volleyball is a popular team sport that originated in the United States in 1895. It involves hitting a ball over a net and attempting to ground it on the opponent's side of the court without letting it touch the ground. Key positions include setter, spiker, and blocker. India's volleyball teams have won medals at the Asian Games and Commonwealth Games. While volleyball is widely played in India, the sport lacks sufficient support systems, sponsorship, and awareness at higher levels compared to cricket.

    Europe have been major forces since the late 1980s), in Russia, and in other countries including
    China and the rest of Asia, as well as in the United States.

    Popularity of sports depend on the success at international level, some iconic player, number of
    people playing the game, media friendliness, financial and other resources.

    Which player is most critical according to you?

    Setter: backbone of the offense and makes the decisions about who gets the ball when. touches the ball on the second
    contact and delivers it to her hitters. She needs to be able to take in a lot of information at once and to make good
    decisions in a split second. Consistency here is key.

    Problems of volleyball:

    widely played at school/ college level and in rural area too. But lack of support system at higher
    level; lack of sponsorship; scientific training; awareness of sports need to be increased at all levels.

    It is not only volleball which has suffered but other sports have also suffered because of uni
    dimensional focus on cricket.
