Ecuadorian volleyball (Ecuavolley)
This is a variation with 3-player teams on clay, cement, or grass courts with a higher net (2.75m - 2.80m) and the use of a soccer ball No. 5. The basics are the same but in this type of volleyball you are allowed to slightly hold the ball in your hands before passing it. The 3 players are the placer, the server, and the flyer in the back because he runs fast from one side to another recovering the ball. The placer places the ball in the opposite court trying to fool the other team about where he is going to land the ball; and the server places the ball in the air ready for the placer to pass. The referee is called the judge. This game is widely played in Ecuador, and it’s so popular that it is played even by Colombians and in the United States and Europe.
