Volleyball originated in 1895 and was added to the Olympics in 1964 for indoor and 1996 for beach. Indoor volleyball is played by 6 players on each side on an 18mx9m court using leather balls, with rotations and positions including setter, hitter, and libero. Matches consist of best-of-5 sets up to 25 points. Beach volleyball is played in doubles on a 16mx8m court with softer balls, no positions, best-of-3 sets up to 21 points, and allows tipping and kicking of the ball.
