A player can’t catch the ball before it bounces, even if standing out of the court. The ball must first bounce out before the player can touch it. Also, a player loses a point if his/her clothing makes contact with the ball, or his/her hand that is holding the racket touches the ball during a shot.

Ball hits a player: If the ball touches a player prior to bouncing, whether you are inside or outside the court boundaries, it is a fault. All NVZ violations are faults.

Bounce: (n.) When the ball hits the floor(or sand) and rebounds off of it with equal, greater, or just slightly less force. Hitting the ball towards the ground at an extremely fast speed.

Don’t roll the ball when a player is jumping There’s balls being hit, players peppering, and usually lots of shouting. And during hitting warmup, there’s always other players chasing down balls, and returning them to the other side of the net. As with #5 above, always roll the ball when you’re returning it.

What happens if the ball hits directly on the endline? The ball may only be contacted 2 times before returning over the net.

In that situation, the player is considered a blocker. A back-row player attempting to play a ball above the net is considered an illegal back-row blocker if the ball is attacked or blocked by an opponent into the back-row player while that player is reaching above the height of the net.

The Libero may serve, but cannot block or attempt to block. The Libero may not spike a ball from anywhere if at the moment of contact the ball is entirely higher than the top of the net. The ball may be freely attacked if the Libero makes the same set from behind the ten-foot line.

The libero is restricted to performing as a back-row player and is not allowed to complete an attack hit from anywhere (including playing court and free zone) if at the moment of contact the ball is entirely above the top of the net.

SPIKING & BLOCKING The receiving team is not allowed to block or spike the serve. (I.e., contact the ball above the top of the net.) A spiker must contact the ball on his/her own side of the net, but may in the course of the follow through reach over (but not touch) the net.

Jump off the ground and get as high in the air as possible. Position your body so it’s to the left of the ball. Bring your right arm back behind your body with your palm open. Swing your arm forward as fast as you can so that it comes in contact with the ball moving downward and away from any blocking players.

The three primary types of tennis serves include the flat, slice, and kick serve.

A player may not hit the ball twice in a row unless the first hit is off a block of a spike. If two or more players on the same team contact the ball simultaneously, it is considered one hit, and players involved may hit the ball again. This next hit is counted as an additional contact for that team.

If the server steps on the line or into the court before they hit the ball, they lose the serve. If they threw the ball as part of their serve, they may let it drop and take another toss exactly one time per rotation. Catching the ball is Bad—you lose the serve.

When one player contacts the ball with two or more parts of the body at the same instant, it is permitted and considered one (1) hit.

How Much Time Does A Player Have To Serve? By the official rulebook, the server has 8 seconds from the time the referee blows the signal to make the serve.

Timing Cue If the spiker is within one meter of the net, your blockers should jump when the spiker’s hand passes upward in front of the spiker’s face on his/her ascent.

A 2- inch line borders the court to serve as the out-of-bounds line. Any ball that touches the line during play is still considered “in” the court.

FOREARM PASS – is the most frequently used skill in the game of volleyball. Used when the ball is below the player’s head. The forearm pass is often used to receive the other team’s serve and to pass the ball to the setter.

In order to execute the bump, it’s a combination of a slight arm swing along with a big leg push to generate height on the pass. Some common mistakes referred in this video are opening or breaking the platform after contact and over swinging, causing the ball to go directly overhead or behind the athlete.

Technique for properly heading a ball: Contact with the ball should be made on the forehead between the eyebrows and the hairline. Ball must be struck and not bounce off the head. Players must use muscles in their back and stomach to approach the ball.

Pass – The first contact after a serve is considered a “pass”. The player who passes the ball is called the “passer”. Usually a pass is made with a player’s forearms but can also be made overhead with two open hands. Set – The second contact (after a pass or dig) is considered a “set”.

When back setting or deceiving the opponent’s blockers is not a priority, the ball can be taken lower on the forehead with the body angled forward to provide additional resistance to the ball (figure 3.2). To execute the overhead pass, first move your body into position so the ball’s path is directed at your forehead.

two points

Make ball contact above the wrists and below the elbows. Contacting the ball on your wrists won’t allow you to control the ball. Keep both arms together when passing the ball. Keeping them together instead of breaking them apart and passing with one arm helps guide the ball better to the target.

Following the serve each team may hit the ball up to 3 times before sending it back over the net. The serving team scores a point if the receiving team fails to return the ball or if they hit it out of bounds. If the serving team fails to return the ball, they lose the serve this is called side-out.
