 * Symbol confirmed.svg 5x expansion verified, and article is adequately sourced. No close paraphrasing was detected. Image is appropriately licensed and in the article. QPQ provided. I prefer the first hook as being the most interesting to a broad audience: ALT1 is too long, ALT2 does not appeal to those unfamiliar with volleyball, and ALT3 is fine but ALT0 caught my interest.
