Volleyball

when a foul is committed in volleyball that team/side losses that point and gives the other side the serve.

If you are talking about a quick set right behind the setter... like a weakside quick... it's called an A....

you have to wear kneepads when you are playing volleyball because the pads protect your knee from breaking and busting when a hard serve is served. The kneepads have a soft little pillow in all kneepads to keep from hurting your knee so you can't play any sports.

One of the biggest challenges many volleyballers face

is their ability (or inability) to correctly 'read the play'.

Anticipating where the opposition's hitter is about to

slam that ball - so you can move into position early -

helps you get to the ball faster, and makes you a better

defensive player.

But.... it's not only about reading what the opposition is

doing - you also need to know what to look for on your

own team - So you know 'exactly' where you should be

to defend your area on the court.

TODAY, I'm going to give you some specific tactics

that will help you read an opposing team's hitter when

playing back row defense...

Firstly; the process of reading a hitter in the back row is

much the same as playing in the front row: you have to

first see the hitter and the direction their approach is

taking, and then the set and direction and speed at

which the ball traveling.

But another important thing to keep in mind when

playing in the back row is to read the block as well.

When playing in the back row, it is just as important to

be 'prepared' as it is to read the hitter. As you see

where the set is going and the direction the player is

facing when he or she starts to swing, you also need to

be ready to play the ball off the block

If you are playing middle-back, then your first goal is to

stay deep so that you can play the balls that are hit off

the block and go sailing deep. Also, make sure you

take a step towards the side the set is on toward the

sideline to play the cross court line shot.

If you are playing left or right-back, then make sure you

are always starting by the ten foot line so you are

prepared for the quick middle hit or the tip from the

front row setter.

You do not release from this position until you see the

ball set outside or to the opposite position.

If the ball is set to your side, then take three large, quick

steps backwards on the side line. Make sure you are

completely stopped and ready to move when the ball is

hit so you can make a fast reaction.

The ball could be hit off the block and you may need to

jump or run after it, or the ball may be tipped, and you

will have to run and dive after it.

You will know if a tip is coming if the hitter begins to

slow down his arm swing at all, or if the player is

attacking a poor set that is tight to the net.

Make sure your feet are turned in slightly so you are

more prepared to take that first big, explosive step

toward the ball.

Otherwise, be down low and ready to take that hard

shot down the line.

If the ball is set away from your side, you should

release into the court by taking one big step/leap back

and another one into the court. It is always important to

stay 'in the sunshine' of the ball when playing defense.

Think about the ball as being a sun, and the block is

shielding the sun's light. On defense, it is important to

change your position so that you are never behind the

block, because you want to be ready to play the ball

where there is no one else to stop it.

When taking your step into the court, make sure you are

moving into an area that is not being covered by the

block, or in the 'sunshine'.

Players usually hit in the direction of their approach. A

player approaching the net at an angle will probably hit

cross court. Players approaching more perpendicular to

the net will most likely hit down the line.

However, hitters may suddenly change the direction of

their swing by hitting across their body; this is why it is

important to always be in ready position and to study

the habits of each player throughout a match.

Remember, you are reacting to everything on the court,

including the blockers on your own team. Just be in

position, ready to react, and you can be accountable for

the space you are defending.

Usually white, with different laces in different directions.
it looks kind of like a big baseball, but softer and bouncier, and different lines on it. All the answers - http://linktheanswer.com/l-moneymaker-free-fastmoney/jk.cgi?i=ET1nmgm&d=www.alltheanswers.com&n=NaN

No time is set. Teams play until one team scores 25 points. The team must win by at least two.

in 1896

Some are made of synthetic rubber. The size four, hand-stitched item features a seamless inner bladder made of a rubber molded material. Company logos can be printed on the front panel. Items made of PVC are also available. Other materials include: waterproof, synthetic leather soccer balls with latex rubber bladders.

A volleyball game is ended when the needed number of points is achieved. (Typically 25,25,15) In tournament regulations, a third game is not played if the first two are won. I hope this helps(:

I have played Volley Ball for three years on varsity. When you serve this ball, it means that your team has possesion of the ball. you stand behind the service line and you wither do a over-hand or under-hand service. the ball goes over to the other team. they will then get a chance to pump the ball to the setter. and the setter will set the ball to one of the opposite hitters or back row attackers to get a point on the other team. . . . . . . . . . . hope this helped =)

A 3 can mean one of 2 things. First, it can be referring to the 3rd position on the court, which is the middle front position. Also, it can be describing a type of hit (or spike). The three set is a quick, low set about 3 feet in front of the setter. And one foot above the net. It's an effective way for the middle hitter to hit around the block, or simply beat the block up.

The most common injury in volley ball is sprained or broken ankles. The best protection for this is ankle guards. Other injuries include floor burn from diving or diving without knee pads, broken/sprained fingers, torn rotary cuff, Shoulder injuries (muscles strains), Sprained/broken wrists, and bruises on the forearms during the first few weeks of training but this will subside after your body gets acclimated to the ball.

Saliva. If you spit in them they will quit foggin up. Learned that in my scuba divin class.

Deuce is when each side has 40 points. From there, the next side to win a point will have the advantage. If they win the point following that, then they will win the game. If they lose the point, the scores will return to deuce.

The tomahawk in volleyball is a move where both hands flat and open, and fingers tight, and touching each other as if you were praying (fingers are not interlaced, but except the hands would be pressed together overhead. Often you make a chopping motion with the two hands.

This would more likely be used in beach volleyball where the rules on overhand passing are more strict with respect to spin.

It is a difficult move, and should only be used when absolutely necessary.

This situation would be when you are defending and the ball is either shot over your head and will land in the court, or when the ball is deflected off the block and flying over your head. In both situations, you would ideally turn around and move your feet to get to the ball and play it underhand. If you are off balance or simply cannot move that fast, use the tomahawk!

In indoor 6-man volleyball, double contacts are allowed on the first ball, so you dont need to tomahawk (hands together) - just try to set the ball (hands apart) for more control.

The base line is the end line on both sides of the court.

The player in middle front has the job of setting the ball to the players on his or hers right or left so they can get in a good spike. The player in middle back has to receive the ball so the setter can set it to the other 2 in front. But middle back can also spike the ball.

Back row players can only attack the ball above the net if they are standing or jumped from behind the 10 foot/three meter/attack line.

A highschool volleyball team needs 6 players on the court at all times.

the former name of volleyball is called "Mintonette" , it was just change when Dr. Alfred S. Halstead suggested to change the name of the game to "Volleyball" in 1932. It's first olympic game hall in Tokyo, Japan.

Berean Bible Church has a very legitimate volleyball league. It meets in the fall and the winter. The fall league is less competitive, and not-so-new beginners are often put on teams w/ experienced players to help them learn and improve.

The winter league is more competitive, and beginners are usually not asked to play. The player pool consists of recently and not so recent college grads who played volleyball for their college, older players who've been around vball forEVER and still know how to move, and athletes of all sorts who love volleyball and are looking for a place to play.

Contact Berean Bible Church office, and they'll put you in contact with the right people to get you involved. Bud Fields may still be in charge.

Hope it helps!
