Forearm passing (also known as
bumping)
By far one of the most basic skills in volleyball is passing, also known as bumping. This is
when a player contacts the volleyball with their forearms and redirects the ball to one of
their teammates.
 Good defensive stance
A good defensive stance when waiting to pass the ball is to have bent knees, body leaning
forward at the waist with the weight of the body slightly forward, and arms bent out in
front but hands not clasped together. This position makes it easier to move towards the
ball. Try running with your hands clasped in front of you – not very natural, is it?
Don’t just swing your arms at the ball – aim your pass by point your hands

Volleying
 Many beginners think a volley and a set are the same thing, but they are actually two
different terms. A volley is a more generic term that means contacting the ball as an
overhead pass with your hands (mostly your fingers). A set is actually a type of volley.
 A volley can be used on your own side of the court, or it can be used as an offensive
way of getting the ball back over the net. A set, on the other hand, is generally a pass
between players on the same team. Setting the other team happens occasionally as an
error, but really, you want to try to avoid setting up the other team to hit the ball back
at you!
 Put your hands up over your head, with your index fingers almost touching your
forehead and your thumbs and index fingers shaping into almost a diamond – that’s
the starting point for an overhead pass.

Setting

 A set is a specialized type of volley. It’s usually the second hit, and it’s intended to set
up one of your teammates to attack the ball. So, it’s basically volleying the ball in a way
that means the attacker can hit the ball over the net.
 The difference between a set and a regular volley is that you are aiming your set in a
very specific way. Getting it on target is the most important factor when setting the
ball. You’ll also need to volley it high enough that the hitter has time to do their full
approach. But not so high that they’re just waiting and waiting… which also give the
blockers on the other team lots of time to get in place!

Digging
 Volleyball digging is essential for having a successful defense. The job of a volleyball
digger is to prevent the ball from hitting the floor after being spiked by the opposing
team. To dig, the volleyball players must anticipate the spike and be prepared to
quickly dive in any direction. Volleyball players with quick contracting muscles are able
to move faster, using their strength and flexibility to get low to the ground in order to
dig out a hard hit. Volleyball diggers must be able to move laterally, forward, and
backward explosively at full range of motion.

Attacking
While spiking is the most glamorous and well-known type of attack, there are actually
other ways to deliver an offensive play as well.

Hitting or spiking is when a player jumps up and hits the ball with a one-armed overhead
swinging motion, contacting the ball squarely with their slightly open hand. The intent of a
hit is pure power – jumping helps generate more power and momentum. A skilled player
also aims the ball around the block and targets the area of the opposing team’s playing
area that they think has the weakest defense coverage.

A tip is similar to a hit in technique, but instead of powering the ball as hard as possible,
the attacker simply pokes at the ball to “tip” it over the net. You can either use your
fingertips, or your knuckles. Either way is allowed, as long as the ball isn’t held too long or
carried.
A tip is often used intentionally to place the ball in the holes of the opposing team’s
defensive setup… or, it can also be used as a last-ditch effort to get the ball over the net
when the attacker has mistimed their hitting approach, or the set it too close to the net for
the hitter to get a full arm swing.

A roll shot is also a great attacking option. This again is similar in technique to a hit, but
instead of powering through the swing and contacting the ball as hard as possible, the
hitter focuses more on placing the ball strategically, and swinging a bit more slowly. A
player can hit a roll shot either using a jumping approach, or while keeping their feet on
the ground.

Blocking
 Probably one of the most straight-forward named skills, a block is a defensive play
when a player jumps at the net to block the hit from coming onto their team’s side of
the net. The key secret to blocking is timing.

Serving
Every play in volleyball starts with a serve. As one of my coaches used to say, serving is the
only time in the game that you start with full control of the ball. This is why you’ll often see
a lot of strategy used by servers.
A player can choose to serve over or underhand. An underhand serve is often seen as
more of a beginner or recreational type of serve; however, I’ve seen some pretty
aggressive underhand serves. There are many different techniques and strategies for each,
so it’s really about which the player prefers.
