What is ball touched in volleyball?

In volleyball, a "ball touched" refers to a situation where a player makes contact with the ball, typically during a play, but the touch does not result in a fault. This term often comes into play during rallies when players attempt to save or redirect the ball. A touch can be a strategic play, as it may influence the trajectory and placement of the ball, allowing the team to continue the rally. The term can also refer to instances when the ball makes contact with a player's body or equipment before going out of play.
