What do you need in the game volleyball?

Volleyball is an Olympic team sport in which two teams of six active players, separated by a high net, each try to score points against one another by grounding a ball on the other team's court under organized rules.

The complete rules of volleyball are extensive, but in general, play proceeds as follows. Points are scored by grounding the ball on the opponents' court, or when the opponent commits a fault. The first team to reach 25 points wins the set and the first team to win three sets wins the match. Teams can contact the ball no more than three times before the ball crosses the net, and consecutive contacts must be made by different players. The ball is usually played with the hands or arms, but players can legally strike or push (short contact) the ball with any part of the body.

Through time, volleyball has developed to involve common techniques of spiking, passing, blocking, and setting, as well as specialised player positions and offensive and defensive structures. Because many plays are made above the top of the net, vertical jumping is an athletic skill emphasised in volleyball.

What is an LS position in volleyball?

It's a "Long Snapper". It's the special-team's equivalent of the center position for a team's punt and field goal units. A long-snapper has to snap the ball either seven (for PAT's and FG's) or fifteen yards (for punts) behind him with the accuracy that allows the holder or punter to handle the ball cleanly. 100 percent sure. LS is Long Snapper. Lonnie Paxton is the current Patriots LS. The job is simple if you call being murdered for fun simple. Bend over, stick your head between your legs, and throw a perfect spiral seven yards (for a PAT of Field Goal) or fifteen yards (for a punt) while large men beat on your skull for fun. It's the most exclusive club in the NFL - each team only keeps one (with a lineman who can serve as backup in case of injury). Few players can change the game so rapidly by screwing up. Oh, and it's best if you can make sure the laces land exactly in the punter or holder's right hand beneath his fingers,
