Basic Volleyball Skills

 There are 6 basic volleyball skills, you need to learn
beforehand: setting, passing, serving, hitting, blocking
and digging.
 What is the serve?
-The serve is your first opportunity to score a point against
the opposing team. Its the only skill out of 6 that you
perform by yourself and don't depend on anyone else to
help you score a point.
-To serve the ball is sent over the net to start the rally by
the player in Zone 1, the right back area of the court either
with an over the head contact after tossing the ball in the air
or with an underhand serve technique .

 Passing: How do you pass a volleyball?
-The pass also known as the bump, or the
forearm pass is a service reception technique used to
contact a ball that's entered your court area when your
team is on offense. Once the opposing team served ball
crosses the net onto your side and arrives just above
your hip level, you
First, clasp both hands together
Second, one palm inside the other
Third ,pointing both thumbs to the ground

 Setting: What is the set in volleyball?
-The set is usually the second contact in a rally and the person who sets
the ball the most is called the setter.The
setter on a volleyball team is like a point guard on a basketball team who
runs the offense and calls the plays.Offensive plays consist of
a combination of sets called by using hand signals to
eligible hitters who hit these sets at different heights, speeds and locations
along the net
in order to confuse the opposing team's blockers in an effort to score
points.
If you are the setter on your team, you determine
 who gets to hit each set
 how high each set will be
 how fast the set will be and
 where along the net or backrow the set will be.

 Spiking: How do you spike a volleyball?
-An attack hit or a spike describes the technique commonly
used for the third contact in a rally that sends the ball over
the net with power.A spike starts with a three step or four
step approach a player uses to jump off the ground to
contact the ball with an armswing while its in the air.
-With
your spike approach the first two steps are slow and the last
two steps are bigger and faster that
propel you in the air gathering momentum as you go, to lift
you above the top of the net so you contact the ball with an
armswing that contacts the ball at its highest height to attack
or hit it down into the opposing court.

 Blocking: How do you block a volleyball?
-A block is the first opportunity for a team on defense to keep the
team on offense from hitting into their court.Once the whistle
blows and your team serves the ball over the net, your team is on
defense, ready to defend your court.
Once the ball is served, the three front row players on the server's
side will work together in an attempt to block a player by
 forming a wall with their hands, and arms (and for some
who jump high their shoulders)
 that extends over and penetrate's the plane above the net
 in order to stop the opposing team's hitter from spiking
the ball into the defensive team's court or to a specific area of
the court.

 Digging: How do you dig a volleyball?
-The
dig is a slang term used to describe an underhand techniq
ue made on the first contact of a ball in a rally that's been
sent over the net with an attack
hit.You sink your hips low to the floor, below the ball
before it gets to you and you use your extended arms
clasped at the wrists to create a platform with your
forearms to "dig" or deflect the ball up in the air. If
you are the 'digger" or defender your job is to dig the ball
up
high enough in the air and ideally to the middle of the
court close to the ten foot line, so that the second contact
