Volleyball is a team sport played by two teams on a court that is divided by a net. It originated in the United States and is now reaching a new level of popularity in the U.S. and globally. It ranks behind soccer among participation sports. Today there are more than 24 million Americans who play volleyball.? The game’s object is for each team to send the ball regularly over the net to the ground on the opponent’s court and prevent the ball from being grounded on its own court.

Besides the basic rules, volleyball is a sport that involves jumping, striking, and falling. In other words, many injuries can occur in this great game. Injury patterns vary between the indoor and beach styles, but similar injuries are commonly seen between the two. Most commonly, these players develop Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs), which happen from the amount of repetition. Overuse injuries of the shoulder, lower back, and especially the knees are the most common. But there is also improper technique and the type of playing surface which affects these injuries.
