The receiving team typically uses their three touches to pass the ball, set it up for an attack, and then attack the ball by sending it back over the net. The ball is put in play with a serve-a hit by the server from behind the rear court boundary over the net to the opponents. Making a block touch leaves only two more touches before the ball must be hit over. Teams are allowed up to three touches to return the ball across the net, and individual players may not touch the ball twice consecutively except after a touch off an attempted block. Each team also works in unison to prevent the opposing team from grounding the ball on their side of the court. Similar to indoor volleyball, the objective of the game is to send the ball over the net and to ground it on the opponent's side of the court.
