Olympic Volleyball - Volleyball Techniques

Volleyball playing techniques:
Serve

Serve
A player stands behind the inline and serves the ball, in an attempt to drive it into the opponent's court. A serve is called an "ace" when the ball lands directly onto the court or travels outside the court after being touched by an opponent. many types of serves are like Underhand, Sky Ball Serve, Topspin, Float, Jump Serve and Jump Float.


Set

Set
The set is usually the second contact that a team makes with the ball. The main goal of setting is to put the ball in the air in such a way that it can be driven by an attack into the opponent's court. The setter coordinates the offensive movements of a team, and is the player who ultimately decides which player will actually attack the ball.





Pass
Pass
The pass is the attempt by a team to properly handle the opponent's serve, or any form of attack. Proper handling includes not only preventing the ball from touching the court, but also making it reach the position where the setter is standing quickly and precisely.


Attack
  

Attack
The attack, also known as the spike, is usually the third contact a team makes with the ball. The object of attacking is to handle the ball so that it lands on the opponent's court and cannot be defended. A player makes a series of steps (the "approach"), jumps, and swings at the ball.



 

Block

Block
Blocking refers to the actions taken by players standing at the net to stop or alter an opponent's attack. A block that is aimed at completely stopping an attack, thus making the ball remain in the opponent's court, is called offensive.

Dig


Dig
Digging is the ability to prevent the ball from touching one's court after a spike or attack, particularly a ball that is nearly touching the ground. In many aspects, this skill is similar to passing, or bumping: overhand dig and bump are also used to distinguish between defensive actions taken with fingertips or with joined arms.
