There are two different ways to score volleyball. The first way is called rally scoring. Rally scoring is where a point is given to the team that doesn't make the mistake, no matter if they didn't even touch the ball. For example: If a team serves it in the net, the other team gets the point. The other type of scoring, I don't know the technical term for it, it is where you don't get the point unless you make the other team make a mistake. For example: When a serve is served over the net, the other team shanks the ball off to the side, the serving team would get the point. But, if the serving team had served it into the net, there would be no point given.
Typically, most volleyball associations use rally scoring, the first type of scoring I described. I have personally never heard of any volleyball association us the other type of scoring. Also ,in club volleyball, some games may start at four points.
