How do you FLARE a VOLLEYBALL?

Question

Hi I'd like to know how to flare a volleyball or what it means to flare a volleyball. Someone asked me if I could flare a volleyball, and I had no idea what they were talking about. We start volleyball in gym tomorrow and I have a reputation to hold up, so please, any info would be great!!!

THANKS!

Answer 1

outside approach

Answer 2

Flare - A hitter hides behind the quick hitter and makes an inside-out approach.

Floater - A open palm serve with NO spin on it at all. The ball floats through the air and if done correctly it floats right and left (like it is shaking right-to-left). It is honestly more powerful than a jump-serve, if done right. (I use floaters 90% of the time). TIP: Try to hit the volleyball on the air hole (where you pump air in) throw the ball to where you can hit that. It helps it float ALOT!

As for a kill, the person might be referring to a floater used as an attack, I've never seen that b4...but who knows...

Answer 3

Flare (Definition):  A hitter hides behind the quick hitter and makes an inside-out approach.

Jump float is to perform a jump serve without doing the 30-ft spiking. Instead you change your contact to make it a floater while you are in the air. You opponent could be tricked while sitting still waiting for a powerful jump serve and end up passing the ball low, or even miss the pass.

Kill is defined for those hits that could not be returned (or got sent back out-of-bound), such as your setter's dump, or a tip/fake-shot, or the one-touch hit (your hitter hit the ball into blockers' nails and let it bounce off)... anything that results in a direct point for your team.

Answer 4

Flare - I've never used this term so I am asuming the others have the correct definition.

Jump Float- Where I'm from this means a jump serve floater.

A floater would be a serve with no spin on the ball.  This makes the ball move around through the air.  Sometimes they will drop quickly or float up towards heads, mostly they move side to side.  It is very affective because of how hard it is to pass a ball that is moving all over the place.

Kill -  We use the term kill for any "attack" that is a direct restult in a point. (Attack - Pretty much any ball that is sent over the net overhand; a setter dump/tip or a hitter spike)
