VOLLEYBALL SKILLS
SERVICE
• The service is the first opportunity for a
player to score a point and it is determined
by a toss coin.
• Service begins each rally, and once you
throw the ball in the air you must contact
the ball to send it over the net to land
inside the lines of the opponent’s side of
the court
• A serve is called ace when the receiving
team failed to return the ball.
DIG
The “dig” is used to receive and pass the ball
with control using the forearms. It is usually
executed with the first contact by the team
and very useful in defense.
SET
The “Set” is an overhead pass used to toss
and put the ball in the right position for
the attacker or spiker.
SPIKE
The “spike” is a forceful hitting or smashing of
the ball across the net which serves to be the
most effective way for a team to score a point
during a rally.
BLOCK
A block is a defensive act of preventing
the ball coming from an attack of the
offensive team from crossing the net.
