Block

Block

Blocking is the action of players close to the net to intercept the ball coming from the opponent by reaching higher than the top of the net, regardless of the height of the ball contact. At the moment of the contact with the ball, a part of the body must be higher than the top of the net.

In contrary to volleyball, a touch is counted as one of the three team-hits. Once the block has touched the ball, the team is allowed to play it two more times.
