Volleyball Pass Techniques

Skills, Tactics, and Strategies
A volleyball pass is a done with the objective to move the ball to a teammate
called a setter.
 The pass is the first touch by the team.
 The passing skill is performed...
 On a ball that has been served
  On a ball that is attacked by the opponent

Basically, you perform a passing skill on any ball that has been sent over the net
to your team’s side of the court. The pass in volleyball is known as a "bump" or a
"forearm pass" because it is performed using the forearms to bump the ball. Passing is
a very important skill in volleyball.

Knee Drop Passing Technique

If players on your team can't pass, it will be very difficult to run a volleyball
offense.
For example, if your team is unable to pass the ball to the setter, the setter cant set the
attackers. If the attackers can't be set, it will be very difficult to win volleys and
consequently, score points.
Each team only gets three hits before the ball must be returned to the
opponent. Therefore, passing the ball effectively on the first hit is important to execute
the pass-set-attack offensive sequence.

Two Types of Passing

Passing is extremely important to team success.

It is crucial that the volleyball pass is learned, not only because you need to be able to
pass in order to set and then attack, but also because it is a very common skill players
use during the game.

1. The Forearm Pass

Forearm volleyball pass involves hitting the ball in a controlled manner to
your teammate. The forearms are made into a flat platform, positioned ready for
the ball to come into contact. The arms aren't necessarily swung when
passing. Swinging the arms will result in a less controlled pass. The technique for
forearm passing is more of a total body movement, not an arm swing. When
passing, the entire body should be moving forward with a shrug of the shoulders.

You may have noticed great players moving backwards away from the ball as
they pass. This is ok to do! The best passers seem to move backwards,
absorbing the ball on their arms allowing for more control passing.

2. Overhead Passing
The overhead pass involves hitting the ball using an overhead playing
motion to direct the ball to your teammate. The ball is played with the fingers
using an overhead setting action.

Overhead Passing
Obviously, the goal of passing is to prevent the ball from landing on the
court. Players should use passing techniques they are comfortable with to pass
 the ball to the setter. Not all players have the same level of skills. It's important to
know what you are comfortable doing in game situations.
For example, a player may not be as comfortable overhead passing as
they are forearm passing. Therefore, the player should be inclined to volleyball
pass with the forearms in game situations until overhead passing skills are
further developed.

Body Positioning for the Overhead Pass

1. Angle of the Forearms

The forearms need to be angled to your target. If your passes are too high or too
low, adjust your angle platform accordingly.

2. Speed of the Ball

The faster the ball is coming, the less arm forward movement that is needed to
pass the ball.

3. The Position of Your Feet

Before you pass the ball, you should be standing in a comfortable athletic position
with your knees bent and feet ready to move. As you're about to pass, square up your
shoulders and get your feet positioned so you are facing your target.

Proper Positioning to Pass a Volleyball

The sooner you can square up to where you are passing, the easier it will be to
pass the ball accurately. Common mistakes players make when performing the
volleyball pass...
 Not moving back away from the ball, cushioning and absorbing the ball
 Not squaring up to the target
 Not following the ball to your arms
 Hitting the ball with the wrist instead of the forearms

HOW TO PLAY PASS/HIT THE BALL?

1. Passing

Passing is one of the most fundamental aspects of volleyball. Passing is always

done on the fingertips using two hands. The higher the ball is pushed into the air, the
more time a teammate has to react and guide the ball to a specific place. For youth
or junior teams, each pass should be initially pushed forward toward the net,
allowing a forward player to guide the ball over the net, hopefully into a spot on the
opposite court that makes it difficult or impossible to return.

2. Setting
 Setting is the second step of passing, and it can be done to either dump the ball
over into an undefended spot or to “set” the ball into a position that allows the hitter
to spike it over. The perfect set is a high ball, just inches from the net. This gives the
hitter an opportunity to hit it to virtually any side or even to the rear of the opposing
court. The possibilities of placement diminish the further away the ball is set from the
net. If the ball is set inches away from the net, the hitter has the flexibility to hit it
anywhere they want. Alternatively, a set that is feet away from the net only allows
the hitter to aim for the back of the opposing court, making the ball easier to defend
and return.

3. Toss
The ball must be thrown up into the air by approximately 20in. The hitting hand is
drawn back as the ball is thrown up by bending it at the elbow and then bringing it
forward to connect with the ball.

4. The serve
The server has 5 seconds to begin the serve from the time the official signals the
serve with a whistle. The service zone includes the full width of the 9-meter area
behind the end lines. The server may move freely within the service zone. At the
moment of the service hit or takeoff for a jump service, the server must be
completely in the service zone and not touching the court (end line included) or the
playing service outside the zone. After the service, the player may skip or land
outside the zone including the court.

5. Spiking & blocking

The receiving team is not allowed to block or spike a served ball. A spiker must
contact the ball on his/her own side of the net, but may in the course of the follow
through reach over (but not touch) the net. Back line players while inside the attack
zone (10 feet from the net) may not play the ball directly into the opposite court if
contact is made when any part of the ball is above the top of the net.

Volleyball Officials Responsibilities of Referees & Work Team

Volleyball officials that make up the officiating crew are first referee, second
referee,scorekeeper, assistant scorer, and line judges.

1. First referee
The first referee is in charge from the beginning of the match until the end.
The first referee has authority over all other members of the officiating crew. The
first referee should talk to all the officiating crew members before the match
starts, going over any questions officials might have about their
responsibilities. The first referee should have a talk with the second referee
before the match starts discussing issues such as pre-match protocol and
anything that will help the match run more smoothly.
2. Second referee
 The second referee should establish a rapport with
thescorekeeper and libero tracker. If the scorer and libero tracker have a problem
or don't understand something, they should be comfortable enough to ask the
second referee for help.

Volleyball Officials
Scorekeeper
The scorekeeper's main job is to make sure the score is correct at all
times. The scorekeeper uses a score sheet to keep track of the game.If there is a
difference between the score on the score sheet and the visual score (flip score,
electronic scoreboard, etc.) the visual score should be changed to match the
score on the scoresheet unless the mistake on the scoresheet can be
determined and corrected.One of the referees should check the accuracy of the
scoresheet at the end of each set.

Pre-match

Before the match starts, the scorekeeper should fill in the pre-match info –
team names, starting line ups, etc.

During the match

Records points when they are scored Watches the servers and indicates
immediately to the referees when a server has served out of order. It's also good
preventive officiating to watch teams rotation in case assistance is needed for the
second referee to determine the correct team alignment.

 Records player substitutions and team timeouts

 Records any sanctions
 Records all other events as instructed by the referees
 Records the final result of the set
 In the case of a protest, after the first referee gives authorization, the
scorekeeper lets the game captain write a statement for protest on the
scoresheet.

After the match

 Records the final result of the match

 Signs the scoresheet

Assistant Scorer

The assistant scorer (or libero tracker) sits at the scorer's table next to the
scorekeeper.The assistant scorer's main function is to record libero replacements on to
a libero tracking sheet.
  Notifies any fault with libero replacements
 Operates the manual scoreboard on the scorer's table
 Checks the score on the scoreboard with the score on the scoresheet

Line Judges
If only two line judges are used, they stand at the corner of the
endline that is closest to the right hand of each referee, diagonally from the
corner.
The line judges watch the endline and sideline of their respective corners. For
FIVB and Official Competitions, four line judges are used. Each line judge stands
in the free zone 1 to 3 meters, lined up with the imaginary extension of their
respective line.
Line judge's main responsibility is to make signals to help out the referees
in making judgment calls.Line judges may be instructed to use flags to make the
signals.

THE LINE JUDGES SIGNAL

 Ball "in" and "out" whenever the ball lands near the lines
 Touches of "out" balls by players receiving the ball
 Ball touching the antennae
 A served ball crossing the net outside the crossing space (the space between
the antennae's)
 Any player standing off the court at the moment of service
 Server foot faults
