Answer 1

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;

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.

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.

practice practice practice! hit against the wall whenever you get the chance, set to yourself, and pass to yourself.  there are lots of instructional videos on youtube you should watch.  Also, watching college ball helps a lot.  Men's ncaa is in season right now so if you are in a college town, go to their games whenever you can because that is really helpful to learn the game.

Spiking, better known as hitting is an easy process that is harder to perform over and over than it sounds.

1.  Start with your foot on the 10 foot line (left-handed = left foot, right-handed = right foot) with your arms behind you as if you're trying to reach for the back of your neck.

2.  Step with your back foot towards the net at the same time bringing your arms out in front of you.

3.  Take another step with your other foot while bringing your arms back again.

4.  Bring your feet next to each other, and bend as low as you can, getting ready to jump.

5.  Bring BOTH of your arms up as you jump until they are over your head.

6.  Swing through with your arm at the same time piking your body so you get a lot of strength from it.

7.  Land and get ready to to pass again!

Your serve has everything to do with your toss.  If it's too high, and your waiting to hit it, then it is going to go out of the court.  If you throw it to low and have to bend your arm to hit it, then it's going to go into the net.  Keep your arm straight and body parallel to the net.  Swing with your shoulder not your elbow.
