 Underhand Serve

 The safest way to serve the ball into opponent’s court

 How:
 First the player need to
hold the ball with their
non-dominant hand,
drop the ball slightly and
finally hit the ball with
the dominant hand.
 Overhand/Overhead Serve

 a serve that has difficulty to receive

  First hold the ball with the non-dominant hand then
toss the ball 2-3 feet in front of the body and then hit
it with the strong and hard surface of the dominant
hand.
 Float serve
 This is a type of serve in volleyball that does not have any spin
on the ball when hit. This type of serve sometimes makes the
ball difficult to return or pass because the ball can move
unpredictably due to the lack of spin. A float serve can move
left, right or straight down at any given moment.
 Jump serve

is a type of serve where the serving player increases power and

serve height by jumping to hit the ball
 Passing

 Underhand Pass
 Overhead Pass
 Underhand Pass

 When the ball flies over the net to your side of the
court, your team’s first pass is typically an underhand
pass. This pass may set up a front row player for a kill,
but more likely you’ll try to direct your pass to the
setter. Ideally, you’ll hit the ball high enough that your
setter can play the ball while it’s over her head. This
also gives her time to decide where to pass the ball. Of
course, if the opponent’s shot comes screaming low
over the net, you may have to go into survival mode
and dig for the ball, doing whatever is necessary to
keep it off the floor.
 Underhand Pass Technique
 Unless you’re near the net blocking, when the opponents have the ball prepare
yourself by setting your feet shoulder-width apart, with your shoulders above your
knees, your knees flexed a bit and your weight on the balls of your feet. Extend
your arms forward but keep your hands apart. If the ball comes your way, put your
hands together by making a fist with one hand, then cup your fist with the other
hand. Extend your arms so your forearms are parallel. Shift your weight forward by
bending from the waist and set your right foot a bit forward of the left. Flex your
knees as the ball approaches, then hit the ball with both of your lower forearms
simultaneously, pushing up with your legs to provide power to your pass.
 Overhead Pass

 Setters typically use an overhead pass to position your best

attacker for a kill. The setter often passes to a spot, rather than
directly to the attacker. The set must be high enough to give her
teammate time to drive to the net and gain momentum that
she’ll unleash into her spike. The target should be close, but not
directly on top of, the net, giving the attacker enough room to
direct the ball past any blockers. If the first pass was poor, or if a
desperate teammate simply dug the ball up, you may have to
remain in survival mode and lob a high pass -- to a front row
player, if possible -- trusting one of your teammates to bang it
over the net
 Overhead Pass Technique
 Set yourself with your feet  Play the ball against your
shoulder-width apart and one thumbs and the pads of your
foot slightly forward of the other fingers when the ball is
other. Flex your knees a bit, about 3 to 5 inches above your
but not as much as the eyes. Push up with your legs
and arms as you hit the ball --
underhand passer, and set
without snapping your wrists
most of your weight over your -- and follow through toward
heels. Square your body to the target.
your target as you place your
hands in front of you and over
your head. Touch the tips of
your thumbs and index fingers
together and spread your
remaining fingers wide.
 Setting
 A set is an overhand contact of the ball, usually the
second contact in a rally, made after a pass in serve
receive or a dig in defense to redirect the ball to a
hitter in the front row or back row by a setter to run
the team's offense.
 First a player need to
make sure that their
hand can accommodate
the shape of the ball
then set or toss the ball
above the head by
pushing the ball and
extending their arms.
 Spiking

 An act of scoring the ball over the net into the

opposing court effectively and aggressively.
 First the dominant foot should take the first step and
then follow by the non-dominant foot. For example
right-left foot step then fast right- left foot steps then
jump and hit the ball.
 Blocking

  An action taken by players by standing or jumping at

the front of the net to stop or alter an opponent's
attack.
  a player should be in a ready position: bend knees
and elbows, and hands are raise in front of the face.
The blocker should be alert and ready to run left or
right the moment the setter set the ball to the spiker.
The blocker needs to jump straight with extended
arms and spread fingers.
