• A baseball/softball game is played by two
teams who alternate between offense and
defense. There are nine players on each
side. The goal is to score more runs than the
opponent, which is achieved by one circuit
of four bases that are placed on the
diamond.
BASIC SKILLS IN
BASEBALL/SOFTBALL
•Hitting the ball consistently
takes timing, hand-eye
coordination and confidence.
These skills are developed
through regular batting practice.
•Catching and fielding the baseball
takes athleticism, aggressiveness,
timing and coordination. Fielding
ground balls requires the player to
get to a spot on the field quickly, to
get his body in front of the ball and
to catch it out in front of him.
•Throwing the ball well requires
arm strength, balance and
timing. Baseball players must
build the strength in their arm by
throwing regularly with the
proper technique.
•Base Running
Having speed alone does not make one
a good base runner. Speed helps, but
understanding the route to run, the arm
strength of opposing outfielders and
the game situation are more important
skills than flat-out speed.

VOLLEYBALL
•Volleyball, game played by two teams,
usually of six players on a side, in which
the players use their hands to bat a ball
back and forth over a high net, trying to
make the ball touch the court within the
opponents’ playing area before it can be
returned.
 HISTORY OF
VOLLEYBALL
•Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William
G. Morgan, physical director of the Young
Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) in
Holyoke.
•Morgan called the sport “mintonette,” until
a professor from Springfield College in
Massachusetts noted the volleying nature
of play and proposed the name of
“volleyball”.
BASIC SKILLS IN VOLLEYBALL

•SERVING
Used to put the ball in play. The
action is done with arm swing that
sends the ball over the net into the
opponent's court.
•PASSING
Used to receive the ball from
your opponents, as in service, or
as a technique to accurately
control the ball in a way that
eliminates lifting or carrying the
ball.
•SPIKING
Used to put the ball into the
opponent's court in order to earn a
point or side out. The fundamental
action of attacking incorporates a
quick approach followed by a strong,
full arm swing, and follow-thru.
•SETTING
Used to receive a teammate's
pass in order that the play
may continue by passing the
ball overhead to an attacker.
•DIGGING
Used to receive the opponent's attack.
The key skills are digging and sprawling.
The dig resembles a forearm pass from
a low ready position and is used more
for balls that are hit near the defender.
•BLOCKING
Used to stop the ball from crossing the
net as a result of an opponent's attack.
A block is effective if it immediately
places the ball back into the
opponent's court or if it temporarily
slows down the ball in order for a
defender to make a dig.
