I need help with my new sport!?

Question

Is it legel to hit a volleyball with one hand while playing in a game?

Answer 1

It can be legal or it could be foul depending on the situation. Usually, the only times a player will hit with one hand is the serve or when hitting (spiking the ball).

A better question might be: do I want to hit the ball with one hand during a game? Although it is legal to punch the ball with a closed fist or use the back of your hand to lift the ball, you get much more control by passing with your forearms or overhead with both hands. Usually, one-handed digs are reserved for desperation players where you only have time or reach to get one arm to the ball.

Answer 2

if u do a spike definitely yes....

Answer 3

yeahh...its called spiking

Answer 4

it depends on how you hit it... its legal unless you "lift" which means basically palm it upwards from under the ball. But otherwise, you can hit the ball with one hand

Answer 5

No, well, okay, any time you hit the ball with a fist it's legal, which means if your stretching to save the ball from hitting the ground with only one hand then clench your fist  it will help bounce the ball higher.

you can hit the ball with one hand to, serve, spike, punching and pancake the ball. the first two are self explanatory I think, pancake your diving for the ball and you lay your hand flat on the ground palm down, to keep the ball alive, that's legal.

punching, you can punch the ball over the net, or in the air, normally used if you can't get both hands up over your head in time to set the ball.

Answer 6

yah... just dont hit it  twice... and do the spike.. its much better if your using one hand... keep it up... laila...

Answer 7

Well, an over head pass, yeah.

Answer 8

yes, most definatley, i mean, think of a spike! but, unless u are doing a spike, you usually only want to hit the ball with one hand as a LAST resort only!!!

Answer 9

If you're spiking it, dinking it, or rolling it then it's legal. If you have to bend your elbow below the ball and bring it up then it's not a legal hit. You can get a dig with one hand and so i nthat case you would be lifting your elbow but your hand should be closed in a fist or it should hit the top of your hand, can't hit the palm and go up.

Answer 10

Yes it is, it is part of the game. It is called a spike

Answer 11

see it shall be very easy to show u what is illegal n wat is legal physically but that can't be possible so jus follow this simple suggession k listen carefully "when the ball is over your sholder height a clean n brisk touch of the ball with the hand,palm,fingers,fist or watever part of the hand is ok"....."but when it is bellow that height ,, just close ur fists thats al then its completly legal" NOTE:the ball shud never roll in ur hand or stay in your hand for longer periods make as crisp as possible. all the best.

Answer 12

if it is like a one hand bump -- no.

i hope that helped.

thanks soo much.
