Answer 2

passing in vb is like passing in bb u are doing something good to help score.

setting: the passer passes to the setter and the hitter hits

but the setter has to get a good pass to get a good set to the hitter. set high !

put your hands so ur idex and thum are touching so it looks like a triangle then bring your hands away from each other next have someone toss you the ball and you puss the ball up high star at your forehead and extend .

hope it helps and i answered it right !

Answer 3

a pass-forearm contact on both of ur arms....in practice they'll prolly go over the correct posisiton 4 ur hands (always keep ur hands and wrists together!!!) setting is like an overhead pass-kinda. u use the tips of ur fingers-its used for passes that are too high to pass normally

Answer 4

a pass in volleyball is the start of your offense, ok and the setter sets the ball to the hitters which end the play, or a tip!  and when you want to hit you watch the ball to the setter and you start your approach to hit the ball, and your approach could just be to trick the other team or an appraoch to hit the ball, volleyball is actually really easy once you get the hang of it

Answer 5

A pass is just like it sounds, you "pass" the ball, usually to the setter on the 1st hit. This can be done by "bumping": shrugging your shoulders and hitting the ball on your forearms, with your knees bent, not swinging your arms, pointed at the person you are aiming for. You can also "volley" the ball by forming your hands so a triangle is made from your pointer and thumbs. Contact is made on the pads of your fingers, and you want to bring your arms in to absorb the ball, then shoot it out.  This is also how setting is usually done, and occasionally "backsetting", where you push back, instead of out in front. This is important so that the hitter is "set up" for a good kill, so they have enough time to get under it and know where it is coming.

Answer 6

NO...passing a volleyball ---your arms are locked and u pass it w/your inter arm...

SETTING is used to give the ball a little up so that sum one can spike it.....

Answer 7

not sure how to explain passing but setting is where you hit the ball straight up and the air and (you could say setting) someone right next to you spikes it over the net. its used for helping to score when someone does not have the strength needed to get it over. Hope that helps

Answer 8

Quite simply, the pass is the first contact of the ball after a serve. It may be contacted with the forearms (bump) or with your hands above your head (set).

Setting is like an assist in basketball. You set up the hitter for a chance to score. You can set the ball with your hands over your head. You position your hands like you would if you were to pass a basketball except that your hands are above your head.  A set is like a super quick catch and release. You are basically redirecting the ball. The ball should be in your hands for only a split second any longer and you are just catching the ball. Ideally you want the ball to have as little spin as possible after leaving your hands.

Without a good pass it is tougher to make a good set.

Answer 9

A pass in volleyball simply means that when the ball is hit to one player, he or she 'passes' it, usually as a bump, to another player on the team. This pass is generally to the 'setter', or the person on the team that is predetermined to set the ball to the front row hitters. In a set, a player positions their hands as if catching a pass in football, with both palms facing the target. My coach always said 'pretend like your grabbing a pitcher of water using only the inside of your pointer fingers and thumbs. The point of a set is to get an ideal ball path for the front row hitters to spike the ball from. Sets are usually called out prior to the play, at least in higher levels, and can vary in height and direction. A back set is when the setter sets the ball to a player behind him, and is generally used to fool the blockers on the other team.

Answer 10

well basketball and volleyball are two different sports. and passing in basketball involves throwing. when you pass a volleyball you bump it. it is against the rules to catch a volleyball while playing. then setting is when you use your finger tips and pretend you are catching a ball. but you dont actually catch it. you bounce it back but without catching or grabbing it. when you hit it try not to grab then throw. good lucK!

Answer 11

Setting is a way to get the ball high so that way someone on the front row could easily attack it. You have your hands by your face spread your fingers out like your drinking big jug of water and extend. The pads of your fingers are the only thing that touches the ball when you set.

Answer 12

In volleyball the terms pass and set are used to mean a specific and a general task, so I'll take you through a sequence between team A and team B that may help you understand.

1 - Team A serves the ball - this is done by contacting the ball either overhead or underhand, with your hand and hitting it over the net.

2 - Team B receives the serve - the first contact from the serve is known as the PASS. This is when a player from team B, calls and moves to play the ball. They than either underhand PASS/bump it with the inside of their forearms or overhand PASS/SET with their hands (this must be done above their head or they are penalized a point for what's called "carrying" the ball). The purpose of the first contact is to PASS the ball to your setter.

3 - The setter SETS/overhand pass the ball to the hitter - hopefully there was a good PASS so the setter doesn't have to move too much. The setter will than take the ball, and in a continuous motions SET it to a hitter. Being a setter on a volleyball team is like being a quaterback for a football team. You are in charge of distributing the ball to your hitters (or receivers). They typically use their hands - to SET the ball the setter will have their palms towards the sky, fingers spread and hands close together. They should form what appears to be an upside down diamond. You don't want your fingers touching but you don't want your hands too far apart either or the ball will go right through. Your hands should be placed just above your forehead. Your then going to ALMOST catch the ball as it lands in your hands. As the ball is just touching your fingers you're going to push against it with your legs and arms (you do not want to hold the ball for even a split second or you will be penalized for the same reason as above). Depending what position you want the ball to go to you will need to adjust the degrees of your arms (i.e. if you want to set straight up, you would push straight up with your legs and arms, if you wanted to SET it away from you along the net, you would obviously push that way a little. Be careful though, you must bet the ball high enough for the hitter to still get to it and hit it.

4 - The hitter will receive the SET and hopefully score a point by hitting the ball to the floor on team A's side of the net. The game could go on, but we'll assume the hitter got what's known as a kill or a point.

It can be quite confusing for someone that doesn't know as the terms are used interchangeably. I mean, technically a set is a pass because it's referred to as an overhead pass....see what i mean lol.

Typically when someone is talking about passing the ball, they're talking about making a pass, over or under, after a serve or a "free" ball. When they're talking about setting, they're talking about when the setter, or someone else, makes an overhead pass/set on second contact.

Hope that helps, I know it seems confusing but it's not really.

Answer 13

first you bump it using your fore arms and hit it strait up. Then the next person sets it using your finger tips trying to put it as close to the net as possible, for the next person to spike it or just hit it over.
