The game will continue until either team reaches 25 points and leads by at least two points to win the game. Most games have five sets, so a team must win three of the five sets to win the game. The last 5th set goes only up to 15 points. And the team must lead by two points to win the game. In a volleyball game, there are many ways for a team to score.

Spiking- is an essential skill used as an attack move. It is done through slamming the ball in a downward motion across the volleyball net to the other team’s side of the court. When executed well, spiking is very difficult to receive and return that could help earn points quickly. 4.
