  1. ACE - A serve that is not passable and results immediately in a point.

    ANTENNA - The vertical rods (normally white and red) mounted near the edges of the net. The antennas are mounted directly above the sidelines and are not-in-play. Antennas are not usually used on outdoor nets.

    APPROACH - Fast stride toward the net by a spiker before he jumps in the air.

    ASSIST - Passing or setting the ball to a teammate who attacks the ball for a kill. This stat is normally only logged for high school, college, and National/Olympic team play.

    ATTACK - The offensive action of hitting the ball. The attempt by one team to terminate the play by hitting the ball to the floor on the opponent's side.

    ATTACK BLOCK - Receiving players' aggressive attempt to block a spiked ball before it crosses the net.

    ATTACK ERROR - An unsuccessful attack which does one of the following: 1) the ball lands out of bounds, 2) the ball goes into the net and terminates play or goes into the net on the third hit, 3)the ball is blocked by the opposition for a point or sideout, 4) the attacker is called for a center line violation, or 5) the attacker is called for illegal contact (lift, double hit...) on the attack.

    ATTACKER - Also "hitter" or "spiker." A player who attempts to hit a ball offensively with the purpose of terminating play in his or her team's favor.

    ATTACK LINE - A line 3m from the net that separates the front row players from the back row players. Commonly referred to as the "10-foot line."

    BACKCOURT - The area from the endline to the attack line.

    BACK SET - A set delivered behind the setter’s back, which is subsequently hit by an attacker.

    BACK ROW ATTACK – When a back row player attacks the ball by jumping from behind the 3m line before hitting the ball. If the back row player steps on or past the 3m line during take-off, the attack is illegal.

    BEACH DIG - An open hand receive of the ball, also called a "Deep Dish"

    BLOCK - A defensive play by one or more players meant to deflect a spiked ball back to the hitter’s court. It may be a combination of one, two or three players jumping in front of the opposing spiker and contacting the spiked ball with the hands.

    BUMP – a common term for forearm passing.

    BALL HANDLING ERROR - Any time the official calls a double hit, a thrown ball or a lift (except on a serve reception or attack). For our purposes, this category also includes any blocking errors (when an official calls a blocker for a violation such as going into the net, centerline violation, reaching over the net, etc.).

    BUMP PASS - The use of joined forearms to pass or set a ball in an underhand manner.

    CAMPFIRE - A ball that falls to the floor in an area that's surrounded by two, three, four or more players. At the instant after the ball hits the floor, it appears as if the players are encircling and staring at a campfire.

    CENTER LINE - The boundary that runs directly under the net and divides the court into two equal halves.

    CLOSING THE BLOCK - The responsibility of the assisting blocker(s) to join the primary blocker and create an impenetrable block in which a ball cannot fit between the two individual blockers.

    CROSS COURT SHOT - An individual attack directed at an angle from one end of the offensive team's side of the net to the opposite sideline of the defensive team's court.

    CUT SHOT - A spike from the hitter's strong side that travels at a sharp angle across the net.

    DECOY - An offensive play meant to disguise the spiker who will receive the set.

    DEEP SET - Set to be hit away from the net to confuse or disrupt the timing of the blockers.

    DIG - Passing a spiked or rapidly hit ball. Slang for the art of passing an attacked ball close to the floor.

    DINK - A legal push of the ball around or over blockers.

    DOUBLE BLOCK - Two players working in unison to deflect an attacked ball at the net back to the hitter’s side.

    DOUBLE HIT - Successive hits or contacts by the same player. (Illegal)

    DOUBLE QUICK - Two hitters approaching the setter for a quick inside hit.

    DOUBLES - A game with two players on each side, most commonly played on a sand court.

    DOWN BALL - A ball the blockers elect not to attempt to block because it has been set too far from the net or the hitter is not under control. A "Down Ball" is hit overhand and driven over the net with topspin while the player remains standing. "Down Ball," is usually called aloud by the defense when it becomes apparent the attacker has no chance of hitting a powerful spike.

    FIVE-ONE – A 6-player offensive system that uses five hitters and one setter.

    FIVE SET – A back set to the right front hitter.

    FLARE – Inside-out path of an outside spiker who hid behind a quick hitter.

    FLOATER - A serve which does not spin or rotate and therefore moves in an erratic path. This is similar to a "knuckle ball" pitch in baseball.

    FOREARM PASS - Join your arms from the elbows to the wrists and strike the ball w
