Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the most people controlling volleyballs; it is 299 and was achieved by the people of Taiwan, at YungShin Sports Park, in Taichung County, Taiwan, on 2 October 2008. The participants controlled the ball for at least 10 seconds.

“They crushed it,” LCHS assistant coach Kallie Bailey stated. “They passed the ball for 23 minutes straight. I had no idea they could pass it that long. I was hoping to get 500 passes.”
