“WORD HUNT!”
Direction:
Look for the five (5) hidden words in the puzzle below and indicate their relation to
the VOLLEYBALL.
Answers:
1. Service
A player serves the ball from behind the end line, hoping to drive it
into the opponent's court. His/her main objective is to get the ball
within the court; it's also a good idea to adjust the ball's direction,
speed, and acceleration such that the receiver has trouble handling it
correctly. When the ball rests straight on the court or moves outside the
court after being touched by an opponent, it is referred to as an "ace."
2. Block
It refers to the actions taken by players standing at the net to stop or
alter an opponent’s attack. It is also classified according to the number
of players involved. Thus, one may speak of a single (or solo), double,
or triple block.
3. Set
It's usually the second time a team makes contact with the ball.
Setting's main objective is to get the ball into the air so that it may be
pushed into the opponent's court by an attack. The setter is the player
who coordinates a team's offensive moves and ultimately selects who
will attack the ball. A set is a ball that has been put near the net at a
suitable height for a teammate to spike. The ball is usually tossed for
setting.

4. Drills
Volleyball drills are specialized exercises that enhance teams and
players volleyball skills. There are three general kinds of volleyball
drills: those that focus on developing your individual technical skills,
such as serving, setting, digging, spiking, and blocking; drills that
focus on team strategy, and drills that condition your muscles for
endurance.
5. Skills
Volleyball skills are passing, setting, spiking, blocking, digging, and
serving. Passing is often thought of as the most important skill in
volleyball. If you can't pass the serve, then you won't ever put your
team in a position to score a point. The importance of serving is often
undervalued.
SERVICE
Underhand Serve With volleyball, an underhand
serve occurs when the player holds
the ball in one hand, swings the
other in an arc below the waist, and
smashes the ball into play with a
fist from the bottom. In an
underhand serve, the player does
not toss the ball up in the air, as in
other serve attempts. Instead, the
server holds onto the ball and
strikes it below their waist with a
closed fist.

ATTACK
Tip The tip in volleyball is when a
player controls the direction of the
ball with one open hand or
knuckles rather than the palm of
the hand when sending it over the
net. Tipping is a softer, slower
approach that may surprise the
offense by sending the ball short or
deep in the court.
BLOCK
Block A block is given if a player blocks
the ball into the opposing team's
court, resulting in a point or side
out. Blocking is more than simply
leaping up and keeping your hands
in the air. In volleyball, blocking is
when you deflect the ball delivered
from the opposing team's attacking
hit. The main responsibility of a
blocker is to block the ball back
into the opposing team's court.
