1.BASIC SKILLS:
A. Pass – Also called reception, the pass is the attempt by a team to properly handle the
opponent's serve, or any form of attack. Proper handling includes not only preventing
the ball from touching the court, but also making it reaches the position where the
setter is standing quickly and precisely.

B. Set – Is usually the second contact that a team makes with the ball. 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, and
is the player who ultimately decides which player will actually attack the ball.
There is also a jump set that is used when the ball is too close to the net.

C. Service – the service is the act of putting the ball into play, by the back-right player,
placed in the service
zone.

Execution of service – the ball shall be hit with one hand or any part of the arm after
being tossed or released from the hand. Only one toss or release of the ball is allowed.

A serve is called an "ace" when the ball lands directly onto the court or travels outside the
court after being touched by an opponent.

TYPES OF SERVES:
1. Underhand – a serve in which the player strikes the ball below the waist instead of
tossing it up and striking it with an overhand throwing motion.

2. Overhand –

 Topspin - an overhand serve where the player tosses the ball high and hits it with
a wrist span, giving it topspin which causes it to drop faster

 Float - an overhand serve where the ball is hit with no spin so that its path
becomes unpredictable.

 Jump Serve - an overhand serve where the ball is first tossed high in the air, then
the player makes a timed approach and jumps to make contact with the ball,
hitting it with much pace and topspin.

 Jump Float - an overhand serve where the ball is tossed high enough that the
player may jump before hitting it similarly to a standing float serve. The ball is
tossed lower than a topspin jump serve, but contact is still made while in the air.

D. Attack – also known as the spike, is usually the third contact a team makes with the
ball. The object of attacking is to handle the ball so that it lands on the opponent's
 TEAM SPORTS

court and cannot be defended. A player makes a series of steps (the "approach"),
jumps, and swings at the ball.

E. Block – Block is the action of players close to the net to intercept the ball coming
from the opponent by reaching higher than the top of the net.

In blocking, the player may place his/her hands and arms beyond the net, provided
that this action does not interfere with the opponent’s play. It is not permitted to touch
the ball beyond the net until an opponent has executed an attach hit.

A block contact is not counted as a team hit. After a block contact, a team is entitled
to three hits to return the ball.

Blocking an opponent’s serve is forbidden.

F. Dig – 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.

Specific Techniques:
"Dive" – Throw his or her body in the air with a forward movement in an
attempt to save the ball, and land on his or her chest.
"Pancake" – When the player also slides his or her hand under a ball that is almost
touching the court.
