  the game to provide an indoor game for the winter
  months in which relatively large groups of men
  could participate in a small gym. The principal
  features of tennis were employed, but the net was
  raised and the players struck the bladder of a
  basketball with their hands in stead of racquets.

  opponents attack called a dig. A set is a high
  pass that is generally the second play by a team
  to relay the ball for the spiker. A spike is a
  ball hit forcibly from a height above the net. A
  kill is a spike that is impossible to return.
  Blocking is a defensive play that attempts to
  stop the returning of the ball over the net.
