Question

In volleyball what is "drinking over the net"?

Answer 1

the term is "dink"

it is done mostly by a setter in the front row

similar to a "tip"

it is a softer tap that's purpose is to get high enough to get over a block and land in the open area just behind the blocker

i played for 7 years, 4 yrs for a travel club team and twice we won a bid to the junior olympics

Answer 2

It is dunking over the net.

You dunk the ball when you can reach over the net and slam it down at your opponent.

Answer 3

i think you're talking about "dikning" and its when you go up to hit but you dont hit it really hard, you just kind of tap the ball over the net

Answer 4

i agree with joshep

Answer 5

Drinking=Dinking

Definition:  This is a cut shot sometimes called a cuttie, cobra, tip,or a pokie.  Basicly you come up as if you are going to spike and at the last second you take power off the shot and hit the ball short.

Cuttie= a short cut shot

Cobra= when you put your hand and use only your finger tips and thumb tip

Pokie= you fisting the ball to pop the ball strait up

Tip=used when a setter "tips" the ball over in 2

Also there is an Open hand dink "illegal in outdoor volleyball"  That means you kinda throw the ball and direct it to a little spot

3 years AAA open Sand expierience

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8

I don't know about "drinking" but there is "dinking" lol.

Answer 9

no idea...

Answer 10

no such thing, theres dinking over the net tho, and that is like a tip instead of a hit.

Answer 11

If it is 'dinking over the net', then when you jump in the air and find 2-3 blockers block all the angles of hitting and too close to the net, you dink the ball over the blockers' hands and net of course. You can't dunk the ball like basketball, but a similar move will be you jump away up over the net and hit straight down inside 10-foot line. Some people may call it a dunk...

Answer 12

It's "dinking" over the the net. That is when you tip it over the net.

Answer 13

"Dinking over the net" is when you tip the ball over the net with your fingertips only. It is not a hard hit, though your approach to the net may indicate that a hard spike is your intention. Blocker goes up, defense sets for the hard shot coming at them, you go up hard and lightly tip the ball into the dead space between blocker and digger.

Answer 14

dinking is when you look like your gonna smash it down into the other court but at the last second change to a soft touch that catches the defense off guard.

Answer 15

i think the term is dinking not drinking like drinking a can of soda.....its when the ball is going over your side but not completly ...I play for a high school team myself so I think this is right...if not I dont know
