There are thousands of sports: football, basketball, tennis, etc. But my favorite sport is volleyball. Volleyball is a sport, a sport, a team game. During which two teams compete on a special platform divided by a grid. The meaning of the game is that the ball needs to get on the side of the opponents. Volleyball is one of the most popular, simple and affordable sports. To play it, you do not need large financial expenses and special physical training. Beach, ball, friends-and you can start having fun! I love this sport not only because it is very interesting and fun, but also because volleyball is quite a useful sport. It is proved that regular ball play has a General tempering and strengthening effect on the body, as well as significantly increases the body's endurance.
Volleyball also improves blood circulation, strengthens the heart and cardiovascular system, and has a positive effect on the lungs and respiratory system. It is worth noting that regular volleyball classes strengthen the musculoskeletal system, improve joint mobility. My favorite sport is volleyball.

After all, sport is the key to health. my favorite world star Regla Torres also plays volleyball
