SKILLS
Competitive team master six basic skills:
• Serve
• Pass
• Set
• Attack
• Block
• Dig.
SERVE
A player stands behind the inline and serves the ball, in an attempt to drive it into the
opponent’s court.
• "ace" when the ball lands directly into the court or travels outside the court after being
touched by an opponent.
Types of serves:
• Underhand:
• Sky Ball Serve:
• Topspin:
• Float:
• Jump Serve:
• Jump Float:
SET
• It is usually the second contact.
• The main goal of setting is to put the ball in the air in such a way that it can be driven by
an attack into the opponent’s court.
• The setter coordinates the offensive movements of a team.
• Overhand and Bump Set.
• “Dump” When the setter tries to play it directly onto the opponent’s court.
PASS
• “Reception”, is usually the first contact.
• The main goal of passing is to prevent the ball from touching the court, and also making
it reach the position where the setter is standing quickly and precisely.
• The skill of passing involves fundamentally two specific techniques:
- Underarm pass (bump), where the ball touches the inside part of the joined
forearms or platform, at waist line.
- Overhand pass, where it is handled with the fingertips, like a set, above the
head.
ATTACK
• “Spike” is usually the third contact.
• The object of attacking is to handle the ball so that it lands on the opponent's court and
cannot be defended.
• Ideally the contact with the ball is made at the apex of the hitter's jump.
• The hitter uses arm swing, wrist snap, and a rapid forward contraction of the entire
body to drive the ball.
• A 'bounce' /A "kill"
Attacking techniques:
• Backcourt (or backrow)/pipe attack:
• Line and Cross-court Shot.
• Cut shot.
• Dip/Dink/Tip/Cheat/Dump
• Tool/Wipe/Block-abuse:
• Off-speed hit:
• Quick hit/"One":
• Slide:
• Double quick hit/"Stack"/"Tandem":
BLOCK
• Blocking refers to the actions taken by players standing at the net to stop or alter an
opponent’s attack.
• The jump should be timed so as to intercept the ball's trajectory prior to it crossing over
the net.
• A "roof" offensive block, A “soft” defensive block
• Single (or solo), double, or triple block.
• The block position influences the positions where other defenders place themselves
while opponent hitters are spiking.
DIG
• Digging is the ability to prevent the ball from touching one’s court after a spike or attack,
particularly a ball that is nearly touching the ground.
• This skill is similar to passing, or bumping arms.
• "dive", "pancake".
PLAYERS
• Setters. They aim for second touch and their main responsibility is to place the ball in
the air where the attackers can place the ball into the opponents' court for a point.
Setters need to have swift and skillful appraisal and tactical accuracy, and must be quick
at moving around the court.
• Liberos are defensive players who are responsible for receiving the attack or serve. They
are usually the players on the court with the quickest reaction time and best passing
skills.
• Middle blockers or Middle hitters are players that can perform very fast attacks that
usually take place near the setter. They are specialized in blocking.
• Outside hitters or Left side hitters attack from near the left antenna. The outside hitter
is usually the most consistent hitter on the team and gets the most sets.
• Opposite hitters or Right side hitters carry the defensive workload for a volleyball team
in the front row. Their primary responsibilities are to put up a well formed block against
the opponents Outside Hitters and serve as a backup setter.
LIBERO
• The libero is a player specialized in defensive skills (wear a contrasting jersey color)
• He cannot block or attack the ball when it is entirely above net height.
• Can replace any back-row player, without prior notice to the officials.
• The libero may function as a setter only under certain restrictions.
• The libero is, generally, the most skilled defensive player on the team.
• The libero can only serve for one person, not for all of the people for whom he or she
goes in.
