Snow volleyball is a winter team sport played by two teams of three players on a snow-covered court divided by a net. Each team aims to score points by sending the ball over the net to ground on the opponent's side. A team is allowed up to three touches to return the ball across the net, and individual players may not touch the ball consecutively.
