What is a bumb in volley ball?
A bump is when you pass the ball with your forearm, often used to receive a hard serve, or a ball that is too low to pass on above your head, and is one of the basic skills to master in Volleyball. A bump is usually the first pass which goes to the setter for a hitter to hit it over. The precision of the bump is not the best, so to prepare an attack (with a spike) i.e. to "set", an overhand pass i preferred, with the fingertips.
To bump, you put your hands together, thumb to thumb, closing one fist on the other to form a "ball". Then the incoming ball is hit from below with a distinct impact, and may gain high velocity.
A bump is also called a forearm pass or just a pass, but is sometimes used as well to hit the ball to the opponents' court side, as a weak "attack".

How do you hit the volleyball over the net?
First, you must know the proper approach: start w/ your dominant foot back at a diagonal stance.
the approach is very fast-paced so keep on your toes, literally. 1. step w/ your back foot (NOTE: a VERY big step, but stay balanced)
2. take a small but quick step w/ your dominant foot
3. then same w/ other foot. it's actually very simple. here's mine. my dominant foot is right.
left...rightleft now, at the last step, you jump UP, not foward. Foward will push you in the net and that is an automatic point for the other team. once you are in the air, take your dominant hand and pull it back to about your shoulder. lift your other hand as high as it will go (NOTE: your rescessive arm is called your GUIDE HAND, which will help you locate the ball.) now the ball should be near your guide hand if it is a good set and your timing is right. once you have located the ball , take down your guide hand and pull your dominant hand up in a, what we big bad v-ball players call, the claw. if swung right, your ball will go straight down in front of the ten-foot line. now, listen. you can't learn volleyball overnight. Olympic ball-players didn't wake up one morning and give someone a happy birthday (when theball hits the targeted passer's face) when they first learned it. it takes time, patience, and dedication.(NOTE: if you don't like the idea of getting scratches and bloody noses, go back to recreation volleyball)
