"Hey, my name is Addison from Captain Bill's. I'm going to teach you, how to keep score in volleyball. There are two different ways you can keep score in volleyball. The first way is called traditional or side out scoring. And when using this type of scoring, the only way you can get a point is when you serve the ball. So if my team were to serve the ball, and we get an in on the opposite side of the court, we get it in the square, and on the ground, we get a point. However, if the other team serves, and we hit it out, or they hit it in our square, they get the point. The only way in traditional or side out scoring you can get a point, is if you serve the ball. Typically in traditional or side out scoring the game goes to 15, or 11. The other type of scoring is rally scoring. Rally scoring is where every serve is a point. So if my team serves the ball, but yet the other team gets the ball, and puts it into our side of the court, they get the point, even though they didn't serve the ball, and vice versa. Rally scoring usually goes to, 21, 25 or 30. And that's how you keep score in volleyball."
