<description><![CDATA[Most people know that there are three hits per side allowed in volleyball, each time the ball is hit onto your side of the net. But what exactly do those three hits consist of, or why are there three hits? In simplest terms, the three hits can be called the block, the set, and the attack.

<description><![CDATA[But why is a volleyball serve so important you ask?
