Volleyball Tips

Attacking

Setting

Digging

• Shape hand like a triangle on the volleyball right infront and above your forehead
• Right foot forward, left foot back. (maybe step into set, end with right foot forward)
• Contact ball with fingertips consecutively, push out the ball to the target
• Set high from underneath the ball
• Elbows should be outwards but not too outwards or inwards.

• 4 or 3 step approach. Start slow with your right foot and body relaxed, take step towards net, emphasize (dynamic) last 2 steps to jump straight up. Setter can set on first step of 4SA
• Use full body to hit, pull left and towards hip to let your right arm swing and your body follow through.
• Timing, footwork is key and communicating with setter is key

• Get in comfortable position in the middle of your feet (athletic stance)
• Have a strong and straight platform facing the hitter and finishing to where the setter is. (angle ams up)
• Get under the ball, can drop to knees or dive if needed
• Absorb the balls energy in contact
• Step into the ball, don't lunge

roll shots

jump serving

blocking

• Focus on tossing high infront and timing
• Do approach backwards from endline to see your distance to jump into the court
• Weight on right foot, toss with right hand as you step with left foot. (left, right, left)
• Make sure you jump behind the endline
• Toss should be in the court or on the endline
• Like attacking, pull left arm to the hip and follow through with whole body

• Make it look the same as an attack (maintain quick approach), but change the angle, get it over the block and slow the ball down.
• Contact the bottom of the ball and cuff it (roll hand over the top).

• Start balanced in defense position
• Use your approach to jump straight up (vertically), and not forward or out.
• Your hands must be across the net (no arms straight up).
• Timing is key
