PASSING
Other most important skill in volleyball
Only skill that one player completely controls because no one else touches the ball before the server does
Best serve is an ace – serve that is not passable and scores an immediate point
Serving
Types of Serves Underhand Overhand (Floater) Topspin Jump
Serving
A two-handed overhead pass to an attacker
Usually the second contact made during a play
The setter is a position that is similar to a quarterback or point guard
Everyone on a team should know how to set
Setting
An attempt to end the play by hitting the ball to the floor on the opponent’s side of the net
A hit or attack A “kill” is a ball that is
spiked and scores a point
Spiking
A combination of one, two, or three players getting in front of their opponent’s spiker and stopping or slowing down the attack with their hands
The first line of defense Key element is timing
Blocking
4-2 Offense Four team members are
spikers and 2 are setters 6-6 Offense
All six players spike in the spiking position and set in the setting position
Offensive Strategies
Serve Reception (“W” Formation) Provides complete coverage of
the court 2-4 Defense (Player Back)
4 players near perimeter and 2 blocking
2-1-3 (Player-Up Defense) The center back position plays
up and behind the block
Defensive Strategies
When the ball is not in play, players must stay in proper order
Rotate in a clockwise manner Player who rotates to the right
back position serves or, if at the start of the game, serves first
Each team has a maximum of 3 contacts to get the ball over the net
Basic Rules
A ball that is blocked DOES NOT count as 1 of the 3 allowed contacts
No player may hit the ball twice in a row, except a blocker
A player may not touch any part of the net or it is a fault
Basic Rules
Scoring When a team scores, it is worth 1
point. In rally scoring, a point is awarded
to whoever wins each rally If the rally is won by the
nonserving team, the team receives the point, earns a side-out, rotates, and serves
The first team to 25 and that is ahead by 2 wins the game
