Answer 3

Below are some tips that I give to beginners and those who need basics. Hope this will help.

No matter how much you play, FIRST learning the basic skills and using the right forms, motion, and posture is most importanat. If you don't do this, you'll never reach your full potential. I know people who have been playing volleyball for decades but still suck because they never picked up the basic skills. Once you pick up bad moves and it becomes habitual, you're in deep trouble because it's very hard to lose them. Basically, you would always use wrong techniques to pass, set, and hit.

Passing:

1. Contact point - Put your hands and forearms together with both arms straight.

You can use the whole forearms to pass but there's a sweet spot right above your wrists. Do not hit the ball with your wrists or fists.

2. Posture - Bend your knees and keep your arms up making arms and thighs parallel and 90 degrees to your body. It's all about eye-hand coordination. When you keep your arms up they're closer to your eyes.

3. Motion - Lean forward slightly standing on your forefoot when waiting for serves. This helps you react faster.

Chase the ball, position yourself, get in to 'the posture,' wait for the ball, and let the ball hit your forearms and bounce off.

Don't swing or jump at the ball. You should have the arms up and ready to pass before making the contact.

Setting:

Locate the ball, position yourself facing where you're setting not the ball, and place your hands above your head. Make a triangle with your hands without touching. See the ball through the triangle making your head, the triagle, and the ball in a straight line. Push up the ball by snapping your wrists and fingers while extending your arms and legs. Most important - Hands should be up before you make the contact. Also, use all five fingers with thumbs being the most important. Don't just use the fingertips but the whole lengths of your fingers for better control.

3. Hitting/Serving;

When you swing your arms up to hit, place your elbow, bent about 90 degrees, above and behind your shoulder. The palm should also face away from your head. Swing and fully staighten your arm when making the contact with the ball.

Tips on Serving:

ARM TOSS-

With firm wrist, arm toss the ball 18 inches - so that the ball falls to the spot just inside of the lead foot and in line with the hitting shoulder.

HAND UP AND BACK BEFORE THE TOSS-

Elbow and hand are at shoulder height or above throughout the entire serving motion.

SHIFT-

Shift weight to lead foot, or step forward, as you make contact with the ball.

SWING TO TARGET-

Wrist firm throughout serve.

Contact with heel of hand through middle back of ball.

The contact should sound like a "thud", not a "slap" sound.

Hand follows ball to target.

Finish with hand alongside or within body line.

Best way to master the basic skills is to pepper and when you do this, always use the correct posture and full motion. Just pepper a lot whenever you get chance. Repetition makes perfection. Build the right techniqes into your body. Good Luck

Answer 4

Practice every chance you get.If you don't already, learn how to over-hand serve.  Once you have mastered that,try jump serves.  Once you have one of those thing mastered, you will be of to a great start.  GOOD LUCK!

Answer 5

just keep arms straight legs bent and be ready for the ball coming your way.Especially if you are a setter.Good Luck with your volleyball season : )
