9. Basic Skills In Volleyball
1. SERVE
Serving the ball is the start of a volleyball
game. A player is to serve the ball in order to
drive the ball towards the opponent's court.
The harder you serve the ball, the more
difficult it is for the opponent to receive the
ball and make an attack. A serve that lands on
the court of the opponent without being
touched is called an ace or if it goes outside of
the playing court after it is being touched by
an opposing player.
10. 3Types of Serving
Underhand serve – is a serve in which the player strikes the ball below the
waist instead of tossing it up and striking it above the head. Underhand
serves are considered very easy to receive.
11. 3Types of Serving
Overhead serve - is a kind of service wherein a player tosses the ball and
strikes it over his head with an open hand. This service is sometimes called
as a float serve or a top spin. This kind of service is a basic kind of service
when it comes to professional leagues.
12. 3Types of Serving
Jump serve — is an overhand
serve where the ball is first
tossed high in the air, then the
player makes a timed approach
and jumps to make contact with
the ball, hitting it with much
pace and topspin. This is the

2. DIG PASS
It is also called as a pass or a bump. In this
skill, the player hits the ball with their
forehand and passes the ball to the next player
who sets or tosses the ball. This is often done
when the opposing team serves the ball, and
the other team receives the ball in preparation
for an attack

3. TOSS
The toss is most likely the second contact of a
play. The main goal of tossing is to toss the
ball up in the air in order for the spiker to hit
the ball properly and to make a successful
attack to score a point. The setter coordinates
the offensive movements and decides which
player will hit the ball.

4. SPIKE
The spike, also known as the attack, is usually the
third contact a team makes with the ball. The
objective 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
(approach), jumps and swings at the ball. At the
moment of contact, the hitter's arm is fully
extended above his or her head and slightly
forward, making the highest possible contact while
maintaining the ability to deliver a powerful hit.
The hitter uses arm swing, wrist snap and a rapid
forward contraction of the entire body to drive the
ball.

5. BLOCK
Blocking is one of the important skills in
volleyball. It may be because it would
require a player to be able to jump as high as
possible to be able to reach the top of the net
and deflect an attack or spike. It also requires
proper timing, positioning and strong upper
extremities. Side stepping and cross-stepping
are also important to enable the blocker to
move from one side of the court to the other,
without removing eye contact with the ball.
A successful block above the net may be
done only by the front players to avoid a
blocking fault.
