Fundamental Skills in Volleyball
Passing - getting the ball to the setter after it’s been served or
hit over the net by the opposing team. The most important skill
in all of volleyball, because your team can’t return the ball
without a solid volleyball pass. Forearm volleyball passes are
often used to direct the ball in a controlled manner to a
teammate, but overhead passing is another option.
Setting – the act of putting the ball above/ higher than the net
(maybe through underhand pass or can be overhead) for it to be
hit by a player.
Spiking - the act of slamming the ball in a downward motion
across the volleyball net to the other team’s side of the court.
Blocking – the act of jumping up and deflecting or blocking the
opponent’s attack before it even crosses the volleyball net.
Serving – the act of hitting the ball from the service area to the
opponent’s area without getting it deflected by the net.
