Volley-ball is the most popular sport in the world. In fact, its championship are followed with a lot of interest and with participation. Talking about "bagher", dribble and smash it’s simple they look like easy actions, but in the truth, in volley-ball , the players use the strategy and tactics, but above all it’s useful a good team’s game. Italy got a lot of prizes: World League, Super Four, World Cups and silver medal at Olympic Games 1996. The most trained rival has been Holland, they have disputed finals of important competition with , winning in equitable way the different matches.


The Rally Point System hasn’t changed the volley-ball. It has only shorten the time of the game. Many people say that this change will destroy a very old game, but now we are here to celebrate another victory of Italian volley-ball team. If volley-ball is destroyed by the new rules why do we go on to win? And how on the earth have we lived strong emotions both in the semi-final with the Yugoslavia and in the semi-final with Russian? The most classic school came back on the top, even if there are some problems to amalgam among the best players The answer simply is : the notorious R.P.S. has changed only the lengh of match.

The most classic school came back on the top, even if there are some problems to amalgam among the best players The answer simply is : the notorious R.P.S. has changed only the lengh of match. Volley-ball has been played exactly as it did before, but it’s as if the set start from 7 – 7 o 8 – 8 considering the old score. So the game appears quicklier, because it gets to the heart of the game soon : there aren’t hardly any mistakes remediable. Even if Italy has shown us, against Yugoslavia in the 4th set, that the most desperate situations could be end positively. Exactly what happened before. If we forget too many words said on new volley-ball and the player beats in (beating) as it has always done in the last years the true different is in an easy comprehension for the public, above all for the unexpert one , that now he can understand looking at the TV the score which is running as we can see in the other sport team. In fact in those finals period the champions emerge those who aren’t afraid to make mistakes, as it happened after 12° point in the old system. Fortunately, these champions always wear the blue T-shirt (Italy!!!).
