Soccer There are 11 players The object of the game is to score the most goals. There are many different line-ups arranging the defense and offense, plus a keeper. For example, you could play a three, four, three, or a two, five, three, plus the keeper. Each tactic has its own advantages. Only the keeper is allowed to use their hands within the 18 yard line. If the ball goes out of bounds on the side lines, it’s a throw in, but if it goes out on the backline, depending on which team kicked it, it is either a goal kick on the 6 yard line, or a corner kick.

Volleyball There are 6 players on the court. The object of each game is for a team to score 25 points. There are at least three games to play. The team uses their hands to pass the ball. When the other team scores a point, the other team rotates on the court. You could only pass the ball three times in order to send it over the net. The setter is the most important player on the court because they pass the ball to an outside or inside player so they could spike it over the net.
