Study Notes
Serve
- A serve is a shot that a player hits from behind the baseline, aiming to make the ball land in the opponent's court.
- The main objective is to make it difficult for the receiver to handle the ball properly.
- A serve is called an "ace" when the ball lands directly onto the court or travels outside after being touched by an opponent.
Types of Serves
- Underhand Serve: a serve where the player strikes the ball from below, at waist level.
- Overhand Serve: a serve where the player tosses the ball in the air and then hits it above shoulder level.
- Jump Serve: an overhand serve where the player jumps to make contact with the ball, imparting topspin on the ball.
- Floater: an overhand serve where the ball is hit with no spin, making its path unpredictable.
Pass
- A pass is the attempt by a team to properly handle the opponent's serve or "free ball".
- 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.
- There are two techniques of passing: underarm pass (or bump) and overhand pass.
Set
- A set is usually the second contact 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 a spike into the opponent's court.
- The setter coordinates the offensive movements of a team and decides which player will attack the ball.
Spike
- A spike is usually the third contact a team makes with the ball.
- The object of spiking 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, jumps, and projects their body forward, transferring its kinetic energy to the ball when contact is made.
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.
- The jump should be timed to intercept the ball's trajectory prior to it crossing over the net.
Dig
- Digging is the ability to prevent the ball from touching one's court after a spike, particularly a ball that is nearly touching the ground.
- There are two techniques of digging: overhand dig and bump.
- A player may perform a "dive", throwing their body in the air with a forward movement in an attempt to save the ball, and lands on their chest.
