What else abilities for volleyball?

being a varsity player on my team, the abilities for playing volleyball are: being able to make a clean pass (bump), having a high, floaty set, and being able to jump over the net for a fast and powerful spike. you may want to work on sprinting so you can move fast towards the ball. push ups and squats will strengthen your arms and legs so they are stronger during play. your serving is very crucial because the other team should NEVER score a point off your serve. having a good clean and low serve is best. hit the ball hard with the palm of your hand and try to make it barely go over the net so the other team is unprepared for where the ball lands. and always place your serve to the weakest player on the other team
