AB Volleyball  continues  to  grow  in  popularity  both  in  the  United  States  and  worldwide.  It  has  become  the  world’s  most  popular  participation  sport,  according  to  the  Federation  Internationale  de  Volleyball  (FIVB),  which  is  volleyball’s  international  governing  body.  Individuals  of  all  ages  and  skill  levels  can  enjoy  the  sport.  Over  200  countries  play  volleyball,  and  almost  half  of  these  countries  compete  at  the  international  level,  making  it  one  of  the  five  most  popular  international  sports.  The  FIVB  has  220  member  nations,  more  than  any  other  international  sports  federation.
