Kidsvolley and Volley 2000, are adapted to young players, allowing a ground bounce, very popular in Northern Europe. In the Netherlands "sitting volleyball" was created for disabled persons.

How many hits per side in volley ball?

Ideally, you want to get three hits. That is your limit. First, you want a controlled pass, either a bump or a set. Then your setter should move to the ball and set in 1 of 4 positions. Your setter should be off to the right side, up top. She should set to the far left top, the middle top, behind her (the right), or she could set any one in the back row if they are capable of a back row hit. The third step is your attempt to stop the rally. Your player either hits its (open palm) or they can tip it (a small push with the fingertips if the ball is really tight to the net). If the set is bad a free ball, (a bump over the net), is useful also, another set just to push it over the net works well but you have to have force.

Who should take the second hit in volleyball?

You always ideally want to get the ball to your setter on the second hit. That way the setter can push the ball out to one of the hitters in hope of a kill. The setter should be standing at the top right of the court so that they can set both the outside left and the middle. The setter is the person you always want to give the second hit to. The setter should stand at the top right of the court, to the right of the middle and outside hitter. When they get a good pass they should set it either to the outside, middle, behind them, or in the back row if it is not really a good pass.

How many players are on a competitive team of volley ball?

What are the three major skills in volleyball?

Hitting, jumping, and sliding. I'm not sure on the last one but I'm pretty sure.

Volleyball is a complex game of simple skills. A purely rebound sport (you can't hold the ball), volleyball is a game of constant motion. A team can touch the ball three times on its side of the net. The usual pattern is a dig (an underarm pass made with the forearms) followed by a set (an overhead pass made with the hands) and followed by a spike (the overhead attacking shot). The ball is served into play. Teams can also try to block the opponent's spike as it crosses the net.

Can you score a point when receving the serve in volleyball?

What is the definition of outside hitter in volleyball?

A volleyball hitter is usually positioned in the front row of the rotation. Also, possibly known as the blocker when playing defense the hitter's job is to jump in front of the opposing team's spike or tip to try and stop it from coming over onto their side of the court. When playing offense the hitter's job is to spike the ball to the other side of the court after it has been set up by the setter.

What is a ace in volleyball?
