Volleyball

well, for hitting, the running motion forward combined with jumping causes a higher jump, like centripetal force. if you hit the ball slightly in front of your head, almost parallel to your body but not quite, you get more power. legs give you more power when you set, i would know = ]. if you pass a ball with a flat forearm, it works and you can direct the ball anywhere you like. pulling your elbow backward right before you hit the ball is like a bow and arrow, it gives you more power and force.

if they want to hit, they can't jump after they have crossed the attack line, but they can approach and everything as long as they are behind it. They also can't be in front of a front row player before the ball is served. And all the basic rules about rotation and so forth.

Number of points earned in serve receive divided by number of serve receive attempts. Basically the percentage of receive attempts that you successfully sideout. Your team's serve receive attempts should be equal to your opponent's serve attempts.

The volleyball court length and width is 18 meters (60 feet) long and 9 meters (30 feet) wide. The volleyball court has a center line that divides each teams side into a 9 by 9 meter area of court space. The volleyball net is one meter wide and is placed in the center of the court running sideline to sideline. For men's volleyball competition, the height of the net measures 2.43 meters (about 7 feet, 11 5/8 inches) from the court ground at the center. For women's volleyball competition, the net is placed at the height of 2.24 meters (about 7 feet, 4 ¼ inches).

There are many signs.

Out sign: When a line referee puts his hands directly in the air at a 90 degree angle it is out.

In sign: When the line referee puts his hands down facing the ground and close together so his palms are facing down the volleyball is in.

Time out: When a coach is standing up with their hands making a T in the air, it signifies the referee that the team is in need of a time out.

These are just the big important signs in volleyball. There may be special symbols your team or coaches come up with for different plays and what not, but these are the main ones.

The weakside hitter is in right front (RF). They are normally opposite the setter.

In volleyball there are 4 officials. One that is called the "up ref" which is the ref that is on top of a small ladder on one end of the net. There is also a ref that stands on the ground in front of the scoreboard table and book table. The other two refs are called linesmen there are two of them one on each side of the court in opposing corners to tell if the ball was in or out of the court.

No. The only time when a players arm and racquet can cross the net into the opponents side of the court is when the ball has bounced on their side and spins/blows back onto the opponents side.

William G. Morgan invented volleyball in Holyoke, Massachusetts.

It's good because you don't swing with your arms. You squat down in ready position and the you "pop" up. And you dive, and you jump to spike. It's VERY good aerobic exercise. Exercise in general.

You could test your strength by hitting the ball against the wall. Another way is to see how long you can set or pass the ball continuosly. Then you could set goals for yourself. Hopefully this helps. :}

In 1895 ,William G. Morgan, an instructor at the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) in Holyoke, Mass., decided to blend elements of basketball, baseball, tennis, and handball to create a game for his classes of businessmen which would demand less physical contact than basketball. He created the game of Volleyball (at that time called mintonette). Morgan borrowed the net from tennis, and raised it 6 feet 6 inches above the floor, just above the average man's head. During a demonstration game, someone remarked to Morgan that the players seemed to be volleying the ball back and forth over the net, and perhaps "volleyball" would be a more descriptive name for the sport.

HOPE THAT HELPS! -I am a volleyball player/helper

double dribble is a basketball term it means to dribble ( bouncing the ball while running) thethe ball then stop bouncing the ball and start dribbling again. It can also mean to bounce the ball with 2 hands but that hardly ever happens

In volleyball, you serve from the right back position(spot 1). Then you rotate clockwise to middle back(spot 6), then left back(spot 5), then left front(spot 4), the middle front(spot 3), then right front(the setter's position and spot 2), then finally back to the serving position in spot 1.

Volleyball was invented in 1895.

It stands for "Special Exempt". From the tennis warehouse forums :

"A player qualified to and who wishes to apply for Special Exempt status must do so by personally notifying either verbally or in writing the ITF Supervisor/Referee prior to the time that the qualifying draw is made. If there are not sufficient Special Exempt places in the main draw for all the applicants, the players shall be selected in accordance with their rankings on the latest approved computer ranking list available. If there is no qualifying competition, or if Special Exempts are not needed prior to the time that the qualifying draw is made, then the places in the Main Draw reserved for Special Exempts shall become places for Direct Acceptances. The first two Alternates on the Acceptance List can preserve their eligibility for unused Special Exempt places by personally contacting the ITF Supervisor/Referee on-site prior to the qualifying sign-in Deadline. If the Special Exempt places are used then these Alternates are not eligible to play the qualifying. If a Special Exempt place is not so preserved, any unused Special Exempt places(s) shall be filled by entered players who have signed in for Qualifying to be selected in accordance with the rankings on the Acceptance List.

If prior to the Entry Deadline it is established that there will be no Special Exempts into a Futures Tournament or week 1 of a Satellite Circuit because there are no "Qualified Tournaments" in the week preceding the Tournament, then the places reserved in the Main Draw for Special Exempts shall become places for Direct Acceptances and will be indicated as such on the Acceptance List."
