basic skills

Volleying- Many beginners think a volley and a set are the same thing, but they are 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 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. Forearm Passing or bumping- This is when a player
contacts the volleyball with their forearms and redirects the ball to one of their teammates.

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.

Diving- Diving is basically crashing to the floor in an all-out attempt to keep the ball from touching the
floor. When diving for the volleyball, remember that you want to contact the ball before you hit the
floor

(unless you're doing a pancake, see below).

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

Blocking- Probably one of the most straightforward 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. Serving is the only time in the game that you start
with a full control of the ball. Therefore, you'll often see a loy of strategy used by serves
