Answer 5

You can purchase a cheap practice volleyball which is excellent for outdoor

practice.  Cheap because the outside skin has to be able to stand up to

the wear and tear of using it against outside walls, like brick or concrete.

Never use an expensive indoor volleyball for practice outside against hard

surfaces.

For the single player - what you can practice is - to throw up the volleyball,

like it is for a 'set' and to go ahead and spike it - against a wall, so that

the angle and height you hit it, is like it is on a volleyball court.

A beginner is not confident about their spiking and timing - and so a lot of

practice against a wall, will drill you into doing excellent spikes naturally.

Use a bent elbow, which straightens for your spike - adding the curling of

your wrist upon contact with the volleyball, this is for adding spin.

You can see the spin working, when you do a spike serve (just hold the volleyball

above your head, and then spike/hit like your normal spike.  You do not need to

throw the volleyball up - for a spike serve) at the top of the net, and you

should then see that the volleyball will roll over the net, showing that your

spinning is working.

The spin helps to bring the volleyball down, so that it will always land

in court, and also go over any blockers or even the net, if it is in the way.

You can practice the 'set' technique by yourself - by setting against a wall -

this can be inside or outside, just straight up - above your head.  This is

so to practice the fingering technique that is used.

You cannot practice digs (also called bumps) by yourself.  You really need

someone - either to throw the volleyball to you, and you bump it back to them,

and they can catch it - or just someone to dig with..

If you can practice with another volleyball player - that would be great.

You can then dig, set and spike at each other. The more players you have

practising the more fun it is.  Your ball handling skills will increase in

no time with regular practice - you will feel at ease when you can dig, set

and spike at each other - you don't need a net.  You'll soon develop your own

techniques for those balls which need to be saved - that falls between players.

The more practice you have - the more confident you will be.  Over any holiday

period, if you can practice with fellow volleyball players - you should find

that your skills can grow and grow.
