What are the advantage that volleyball offers?
well, if you dont like to run, then volleyball is alot better than other sports, and it builds upper body strength, for example when i started volleyball, i was about as strong as a pen, and now, im pretty strong.
Volleyball isn't really a confusing sport, but yet it is very difficult. There are about 3 basic moves: a bump, a set, and a spike. A bump is basicly putting your two hands together and hitting the ball with your arms. A set is a move when you push the ball up with just your fingertips. A spike is one of the hardest moves, when you hit the ball over the net with your hand while jumping in the air. The trick is not to touch the net, however.
What is the definition for dig in volleyball?
In the game of volleyball, the act of digging describes a pass of a hard-driven ball from the other team. In other words, digging is the act of stopping the ball from hitting your side of the court after the opposing team has either spiked or served it to your team.
Digging is a prolific term of volleyball jargon in both the indoor and beach volleyball communities. Additionally, the term has gained some entry into the international lexicon through video games that use the term in their title.
Digging is an essential volleyball skill that volleyball professionals such as Eric Fonoimoana, Stein Metzger, Sara Shimt, and Anthony Medel all employ in their technique repertoire.
What is the difference between volleyball and hockey?
No, lacrosse is not the same thing as field hockey. In field hockey you use a stick with a curved base on the ground and hit it to your team mate, or you can dribble it up the field. The goal in field hockey is much bigger than a lacrosse goal. In lacrosse you throw and catch a ball using a stick with a net and you can run with the ball in you stick. Lacrosse is a much faster paced game too. In lacrosse you wear eye protection and a mouth guard, in field hockey you wear shin guards and a mouth guard. Both sports are really fun.
What do you wear while playing volleyball?

What are the 3 basic serves in volleyball?
Well I guess there are three general types of serves in volleyball,
- Floater (the ball doesnt really spin much, it can float across the court, common)
- Top Spin (the ball spins very fast forward, common)
- Side spin (the ball spins sideways, not very common)
- Jump serve (a very powerful serve, has several advantages like, power, intimidation, and getting the ball to the court faster (since your jumping the ball doesnt have to go up and across, just across))
- Standing overhand serve (a standard serve, you will see this most)
- Underhand serve (used in lower levels of volleyball, not an effective/strong serve at all, it's never used in highschool/college)

Mechanics in playing volleyball?
One of the most important parts of volleyball is a "pass/set/hit" or a "bump/set/spike" combo. One passer passes the ball to a setter, and they set up the volleyball high into the air above the net, but still on their side. Once there is an opprotunity, the spiker jumps up and delivers a kill to the other side of the net.
What is the name of the Australian Volleyball team?
Officially, they are called 'VTAM' - which stands for 'Volleyball Team Australia Men'. Probably the most boring name of all Australian sports teams. In the 1980's they were unoffically called the 'Diggers', which I think is a fantastic name as it's relevant to both Australia and volleyball, but these days it's frowned upon by the RSL to use any sort of name like that.

What is lineup sheet in volleyball?
A lineup sheet is where the coach writes down the numbers of the starting players. The coach hands the lineup sheet to the skorekeeper and they will record it on the score sheet.
Which direction you rotate in volleyball?
There are 6 positions in volleyball as well as 6 rotations to correspond with the positions.
In simple terms: There is one player in each position. After you side out (earn the point after the other team serves), you earn possession of the ball and you must rotate. The player in position 1 (serving position) now moves to position 6. Position 6 moves to 5, 5 to 4, 4 to 3, 3 to 2, and 2 to 1 (player who will now serve). You remain in the position you just rotated to until you side out again (this requires you to lose the serve, and once again win a point off of the other team's serve).
In more complex terms: There are 6 rotations that revolve around the position of the setter. If the setter is in "Rotation 1" he/she is in position 1. all of the other players fill in the remaining spots on the court based on position. Outside hitter #1 would be in position 2, Middle Hitter #1 in position 3, Opposite side hitter in position 4, Outside Hitter #2 in position 5, and Middle Hitter #2 (most likely a libero) in position 6. When the setter moves to "rotation 2" he/she is now in position 6. The other positions rotate as well. So now the setter is in 6, OH 1 is in 1, MH 1 is in 2, OH 2 is in 4, MH 2 is in 5. The rotaions move around all the positions in the direction you rotate (clockwise). So when you say the setter is in rotation 5, he/she is in position 3. In rotation 6 the setter is in position 2. This is the exact same thing as the simpler explanation except I'm just detailing where each designated position would be and how the formation works.
