How to Play Volleyball

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit
Volleyball is relatively easy to learn, does not require expensive equipment, and can be enjoyed by people of almost any age. Perhaps that's why, according to the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB), 1 in 6 people worldwide either plays or watches volleyball. Volleyball can be played indoors or outdoors (beach volleyball), and while this article focuses on the outdoor variety, which requires fewer people and can be played just about anywhere, the rules are almost identical for the two games. Whether you want to get into competitive beach volleyball or just set up a net at your next barbecue, read on to learn the basics of this exciting game.

Steps

1. Get your equipment. The minimum you need is a volleyball and a net, also a water bottle in case you get tired. Any sporting goods store should have this stuff, or even Wal Mart should have sporting goods.Lots of nets come with lines to mark the boundaries of the court, or you can use shoes or other objects to indicate the corners of the court. Each half of a beach volleyball court should be 8 meters by 8 meters, though for a backyard game you don't necessarily have to be exact. In competition, there is a "free zone" between 5-6 meters wide that surrounds the court. If the ball lands in the free zone, it is out of bounds, but players may go into the free zone during the course of play. In backyard games, the free zone is generally not well defined and may end, for example, at the rose bushes.
2. Find a friend or three. You can start learning the basics of volleyball with one other person by playing "pepper;" that is, just practicing the basic skills by hitting the ball back and forth by a bump, a set, and a downball, If you have a foursome, you can split into teams of two and play some games.
3. Serve the ball. Flip a coin. The winner of the toss can choose either whether to serve first or which side to take. The server must stand in the free zone behind the rear boundary line of his side of the court. For a jump serve, the server may land outside this service zone as long as he is in it when he strikes the ball. The serve must be executed by striking the ball with your arm or hand and sending it over the net and into your opponent's court. Officially, a serve in which the ball touches the net but goes over and stays inbounds is legal, but some recreational players will often consider this to be a "let," meaning the serve is replayed without any points being awarded. Serves are generally performed either underhand or overhand. A jump serve, in which the player tosses the ball higher than for a regular overhand serve and then hits it with a spiking motion, is generally used by advanced players.
4. Return the ball. Once the ball is served inbounds, the receiving team must return it over the net and into their opponent's half of the court. Rallies proceed as long as each team is able to return the ball. Each team may touch the ball up to three times per return, and once a player touches the ball once, he may not touch it again until it has been touched by his teammate or an opposing player. A typical sequence of hits is pass, set, spike (or attack). Sometimes the ball can be blocked instead.
   • Blocking:A block meets the ball at the net or slightly over the net (on your opponents' side) immediately after an opposing player makes contact with it. Generally a block is used to intercept a spike, and it is executed by jumping, raising your arms above your head and slightly over the net, and meeting the ball with your fingertips facing down toward the ground of the opposing team's court after the follow through.
   • Passing: Passing is the most important skill in volleyball. It is the initial touch that handles the serve or the opponent's return and sets up the rest of the play, and is usually executed by an underhand hit called a "bump" A dig, a sort of diving bump, may need to be used to prevent a spiked ball from hitting the ground. Also if you are playing with only one other person on your team you will need to have very controlled passes. For example if they are on your left you have to angle your hands forward some and to the left. If you pass it behind you or in front of you it will be harder for your teammate to get there and you might not get to hit the ball.
   • Setting: Setting "sets up" the attack shot. A set gets the ball perfectly under control and in place for a spike. While a bump can be used to set the ball, an overhand set is more common. To set, look up, and make a diamond with your index fingers and thumbs just above the bridge of your nose. Now move your hands apart slightly. Position yourself so that the ball is coming down right above your head, and position your body so the ball would hit you right on the nose if your hands weren't there. Now cushion the ball with your thumb, index, and middle fingers in this diamond pattern on the way down. Let your knees bend too as the ball comes down. Don't let the ball contact your palms at all, just the tips of your fingers. Quickly push up with your arms and legs to make the ball go upward and in the direction you want it to. You typically want the apex of your set to be 1-2 feet away from the net, and about 4 feet above it. Try to make the ball have little or no spin once it leaves your hands.
   • Attacking. After the ball is set, the final touch should be an attack shot. The most common attack is a spike, a hard downward shot into the opponent's court, but an off-speed shot or dink can also be used to surprise an opponent who is expecting a spike.
5. Diving. If the ball is about two bodies away, diving on your stomach is the quickest way to get to the ball. Practice diving, otherwise you can get bruises. A quick way to get up after diving is doing a bear roll or a backflip. Make sure you don't hit your head on the court. Practice on a mat or carpet before performing it on the court.
6. Score points. Traditionally in volleyball only the serving team could score points, and if the receiving team won the rally they would get the next serve, but no points. The official rules have changed however, so that now either team can score points, regardless of who served, and the winner of a rally gets not only a point but also the next serve. Your opponents score a point:
   • If your serve does not go over the net or it lands anywhere outside your opponents' side of the court.
   • If your return does not go over the net, or if it lands anywhere outside your opponents' side of the court.
   • If a player on your team touches the ball two or more times in succession.
   • If your team touches the ball more than three times before it is touched by an opposing player.
   • If you commit a fault. There are three main faults in volleyball other than those discussed above:
     • Foot fault on the serve. The server steps outside of the service zone before hitting the ball.
     • Held ball fault. Any time you contact the ball--except when you're serving--you must actually hit the ball. You may not catch it or lift it at all. In other words, the ball must never come to rest.
     • Contact with the net or interference. You may never touch the net during play, your arms or feet may not cross above or below it,if any part of your body crosses the net and interferes with the opponent's ability to hit the ball (before he or she has actually hit the ball), that is also considered a fault.
7. Win the game. In traditional volleyball scoring, where points may only be scored by the serving team, games (also called sets) are played to 15. Under the current rules, in which either team can score on any rally, the games are usually played to 25. In either case, you must win by at least 2 points.
8. Win the match. In some high school and all college and professional games, the winner is the one who wins 5 games (sets) first. In Junior Olympic and competetive recreational volleyball, it is whoever wins 2 games (sets) first. In beach volleyball, the winner is the team that wins two games (sets) first. If a tiebreaker game is needed (a fifth game in indoor volleyball, or a third game in beach volleyball), it is played to 15, rather than to 25. Even in the tiebreaker, you must win by at least 2 points.

Tips

• While the hands and arms provide the most control for shots, you may touch the ball with any part of your body. Keep in mind, however, that in most cases any contact will count as your one allowable touch.
• Teams should switch sides during half time.
• Be sure to warm up before playing. Volleyball can be really hard on the ankles, knees, and shoulders. Make sure you limber up those joints and get the blood flowing a bit before you play. Also remember that warming up is just as important as playing the game so it would wise to warm up longer than you actualy play.
• Some leagues and organizations play by slightly different rules or play to different scores to win. Some alterations of the rules are also common in recreational games. It's important that all players know and agree to the rules before you start playing.
• Passing is the most important skill. If you can control a hard spike or tough serve, and still pass the ball perfectly to your partner in the center of the court, the rest of the game becomes a lot easier.
• Anticipation is the key to volleyball. Try to get your body in position and still before the ball gets there. Your passes, sets and blocks will improve immediately and dramatically.
• To practice setting, you can set the ball to yourself off of a wall. It's a great shoulder workout, too.
• Blocking is really only worth it when one or more players on the other team can hit the ball hard and in the court fairly consistently. When they hit the ball so hard you don't have enough time to react, then it's time to start worrying about blocking.
• Don't stand so close to the net, you should stand about 1 or 2 feet away or further.
• When passing it is important to keep a very flat platform on your arms, or else the ball will not go in the direction you want it to.
• Practice, Practice, Practice. Practice makes perfect. (Most of the time.)
• Never swing your arms while bumping/passing. It will send the ball flying in all the directions, except where you want it to go. A good stance to start with is your hands apart and hanging at your sides (so you may choose a set or bump quickly) while your knees are bent. When you go to hit the ball, unbend your knees so you are standing. Using the knees to hit is important for getting the ball to your target.
• Always practice all aspects of volleyball because in a game you may be rotated. If you are horrible at serving, when your chance to serve comes, you will be bad at it if you dont practice.

Warnings

• Make sure to clear the court and any close surrounding areas of detritus before you play. Lots of times you are looking up at the ball instead of where you're going (where the detritus places itself)
• You need to practice in order to get good at volleyball. Camps are good for learning technique, but they don't put as much pressure on you as a game situation would.
• The rules here are just an outline of the most basic regulations for volleyball. Be sure to consult the official rules that apply to the organization you're playing in.
• If you don't have a coin to flip to decide the initial serving team, you can also "volley for serve". To do this, have a player in the front row gently toss the ball just over the net to a player on the opposing team (in the front row). Continue the volley, and the team that wins the volley takes first serve.

Things You'll Need

• A volleyball
• A volleyball net
• Knee Pads
• Several Friends
• Spandex or any other flexible shorts
• Socks
• A ponytail holder (if you are a girl)
• A GREAT attitude
• Don't get dehydrated! bring at least one water bottle/Gatorade
• Sportsmanship
• A place to play

How to Serve a Volleyball Overhand

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit
A more helpful way or learning how to serve a volleyball, with confidence you'll get it over. The steps are written from the approach of a right handed person. If you are a lefty, simply reverse the steps to do the opposite (for example, change left for right, etc.).

Steps

1. Line up both of your feet about shoulder distance apart. Place your left foot ahead of your right foot. Your shoulders and hips should be aligned with the net.
2. Place your arms straight in front of you. Do not bend your arms.
3. Hold the bottom of the ball with the palm of your left hand and the top with the palm of your right hand. Your elbows and arms shouldn't touch any other part of your body.
4. Cock your serving arm back next to your head. Make sure that your elbow is pointing upwards.
   • Toss the ball up with your palm of your left hand (not fingers) about 2-3 feet in the air, step forward with your left foot, and hit the bottom of the ball with the palm of your right hand (this will give it spin causing it to go higher and farther). Your hand should be stiff and open and your wrist straight. As you are hitting the ball, send all your weight from your arm to the ball; this should add a lot of speed and force.
   • Make sure that your serving hand is aiming in a slanted-up position%u2013this way the ball will lift higher and make it over the net. If you aim down with your hand, the ball will hit the ground before it goes over the net.
   • Make sure that you are hitting the ball at its highest point when you throw it in the air. If you hit the ball on the way down, the outcome will not be very successful. Do not throw the ball very high!
5. After striking the ball, use your momentum and run to your defensive position.
6. Think of these steps in your head when you serve, toss, step, hit and follow through. They will serve as good guidance when playing a game.

Tips

• Perfect your underhand serve first, so that if you have a bad overhand serving day, you are always confident with that!
• Practice makes precision(not perfection!), so practice this a lot!
• Try different variations to the above steps; different approaches work for different people.
• Don't punch the ball ("shot put"), swing at it.
• If you're having trouble with your serve, try practicing just the toss. If you throw it up and just let it drop, it should land directly in front of your right foot, which should still be in the position in front of your right foot, before the step. Practice this fifty times a day and your serve should seriously improve.
• Using your momentum can help a lot especially if you have a small body. Really just whail on the ball. You need a lot of strength to get your serve over the net.
• If you feel like you would be more comfortable taking a few steps or jumping while serving, you should try a jump serve.
• Make sure not to "slap" the ball. Hit it hard with the palm of your hand.
• Get comfortable with how the ball will go where you toss it. For example, when you toss the ball far out in front, the ball will travel flat. In order to serve a nice loopy, short ball, toss the ball a little closer to your shoulder. Balls that drop inside the 3-meter line is extremely deadly for the opposing team.
• You should be able to hear a solid thud when you hit the ball if it is a good serve.
• Make sure you follow through, sometimes if you don't the ball may travel a different direction.
• Taking a big step will really increase the power of your serve.
• If you are having trouble, ask a coach or older, more skilled volleyball player to help you and critique your serve.
• It may take a while to get your serve over, in the long run it'll work out and your serve will be deadly
• For stronger serving work on your chest shoulders and triceps, strength in these muscles can be gained by doing pushups
• If you can't 'slap' the ball and get it over the net, try using your fist. Toss the ball up, and instead of slapping it, make a fist and pound the ball.
• If you do use your fist, make sure you hit it with the front part of the fist. In other words, hold your hand like you would slap the ball, but curl your fingers
• If you have ever played tennis before the serves are fairly similar and have the same set up process.
• Remember; if you think that you tossed it up badly, LET IT DROP. In a real game, you are allowed to let the ball drop once.
• Also when playing volleyball always remember that you don't have to be afraid of diving for the ball,but don't do it unless needed otherwise you will give the other team points.
  1. Try not to worry and think too much about getting it over the net the first couple of times you try it. Get your technique down before worrying about getting it over.
• Once you toss the ball up in the air, don't reach for the ball. Wait for it to fall at the right moment so you can hit it.
• Practice your underhand serves and then go to overhand. If you can't do an underhand serve, you probably aren't strong enough, for an overhand! The overhand takes time to get it 100% right!

Warnings

• This may cause stress on your arm, so STRETCH before serving.
• This method might not fit everybody's style perfectly. If you need to take a few steps and serve in a smooth motion, do it! The only way you can get called on a serve would be for a foot violation.
• It really depends on the rules you are using and the age. If you are playing club, the rule is different about letting the ball drop. For 14 and under competitions, you can toss the ball and let it drop once for every time you complete a serve. For 15 and up competitions, you must hit every toss. You can not let the toss hit the floor or it will be a sideout. The rule for the NCAA is the same. If you toss it, you will hit it.
• If at first your arm is sore from hitting the ball, try some ice!

Things You'll Need

• Volleyball
• A volleyball net, preferably, or at least a wall which you can serve against for practice.
• If possible, a partner, preferably someone better than you are, to help you get the ball and tell if you are doing it correctly.

How to Spike a Volleyball

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit
Ever watch volleyball on TV? Sure the bumps and sets are necessary, but it's the spikes that really get the crowd going. The spike is the most powerful attack shot in volleyball. Read on to learn how to execute a spike (and make your opponents cower in fear). This is when a player jumps above the net and hits the ball downwards and scores a point

Steps

1. Stretch your arms and legs for 10-20 seconds each before starting. This will reduce your risk of pulling a muscle or injuring yourself.
2. Position yourself behind the 10-foot line (attack line), which is the line that runs 10 feet away from the net. If you have long legs or take bigger steps, stand a little farther back. If you are left handed, you may want to spike on the right side of the court, and on the left if you are right handed. If you are tall or can jump higher, try the middle.
3. Watch the setter. If you are playing outside (left) hitter, call "Outside, outside" and similarly if you are middle or back (also called weak side because it's the setter's weak side). Many teams come up with codes for each side, so use them if yours does. If your team uses numbers for the sets, make sure you call the right number.
4. Start your approach after the ball is set. If you are right-handed, your approach should be "Left foot, right foot-left foot, jump" and vice versa if you are left-handed. The last two steps should place your feet at somewhat of a 45-degree angle from the net.
5. Prepare to jump. As you take the last two steps, extend your arms downwards and backwards and bend your knees.
6. Jump right before you reach the ball. Keep in mind you want to jump a little bit forward to be able to hit the ball harder. You want to make contact with the ball in front of you, not directly overhead. Keep your eye on the ball, and leap up, swinging your arms up in front of you (it will help you jump higher, but be careful to not contact the net for it results in a penalty).
7. Prepare to hit the ball. As you're in the air, point to the ball with your weak hand, and pull your hitting hand back so that the back of your hand is right next to your ear--just as if you're pulling a bow and arrow. You should use your weak hand as a guide for your hit.
8. Extend your hitting hand straight out above you, and hit the ball, contacting the upper half of the ball with the heel of your open hand at the very top of your swing. Again, the contact point should always be in front of your head, not above it.
9. Snap your wrist downward to impart topspin and direct the ball down into your opponent's court while spreading your fingers.. Be careful not to "carry" or "hold" the ball for even a second.
10. Follow through. Bring your arm down "through" the ball and next to your body. Be sure to bend your knees to absorb the shock when you land.

Video

Tips

• If you are a middle player and are being set a short set close to the net (called a "B" or a "2" by some teams), you will need to start your approach before the ball is set.
• You don't always have to spike the ball on an attack shot. A well-placed dink (a soft shot to an uncovered part of the court), wipe (a light touch to hit the ball into the opposing player's block and to the ground), or shoot set (a long flat set to an uncovered part of the court) can catch your opponents by surprise and win you the point.
• When jumping, the more you swing your arms back and then up, the higher you will be able to jump. This is due to your momentum.
• If you're having problems hitting the ball down, do exercises to increase your vertical leap so that you can jump high enough to "get on top" of the ball.
• For the ball to go down you must have topspin, and in order to get topspin you must flick your wrist when hitting the ball. Practice hitting the ball against a wall and flicking your wrist forward.
• You may want to work on your abdominal muscles before you learn to spike- strong abs help you hit harder! Use all your might and strength!
• When you are jumping jump straight up not towards the net
• The most commonly used hitting approach is: Left, Right, Left, Jump, Spike! Remember to think of a rhythmn for your steps, as it helps you get familiar with the approach.
• Another way to do your approach is to right, and then left, right...then on your 3rd steps bring your arms back and jump up to hit.

Warnings

• Don't allow your hand or arm to cross over the net during a spike--this is a fault.
• Keep in mind that in organized competitive volleyball there are many rules governing who may spike the ball and how. Check your organization's rules, and make sure you understand them.
• Try to hit the ball with the heel of your hand instead of "slapping" it. It may hurt sometimes or it will make a really nasty sound. If you hit it correctly, there should be a nice "BAM!" sound.
• When spiking, DO NOT jump too early. If you do, you will be too high in the air while the ball is too low. If this happens,set or tip it over. Trying to spike it will only make it hit the net.
• There are many, many different types of approaches; and the one your coach teaches may be different from the approach explained above.
• Always stretch before doing any vigorous physical exercise to prevent serious injury.

Things You'll Need

• Volleyball
• Volleyball net
• At least one teammate
• Kneepads

How to Set a Volleyball

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit
Every good spike is backed by a good set. This is an easy move to learn, but a difficult one to master. This move can also be used when the ball is over your shoulders, therefore too high to bump. The set is called an overhead pass when not assisting a spike.

Steps

1. Extend your arms up over your head.Your thumbs should be about 2 to 4 inches above your forehead. Spread your fingers apart as if someone were going to place the volleyball right into your hands. Your elbows should not be facing out,but pulled in about even with your shoulders.
2. Position your hands so that you can see them above your forehead and finish with ball shaped hands.
3. Spread your feet about shoulder width apart. For good technique, you need to have good footwork. The right foot should always be forward when you set. This helps you subtract more errors. Bend your knees and shift your weight to the balls of your feet so that when the ball comes to you, you can quickly bounce up and get it. Your release is key in the tempo of the set. Slow release means slow tempo and fast means a quicker tempo. Such as a 31.
4. When you are ready to set, center yourself under the ball, and push upwards, straightening your arms and legs as you go. If setting backwards apply the same rules except push the ball backwards. This is done with all wrists. Throwing your thumbs back. Extend your hand foreward in the direction that you want the ball to go.pull back
5. Make sure when your hands touch the ball its just your finger tips and they should be in the shape of a triangle then when you pop in the shape of a rectangle.
6. When you bend your knees make sure you rise up and not jump (only for more advance setters, not begginers)

Tips

• Put your arms over head, but have them bent. Your hands should be in a position where they are almost touching each other to make a triangle. When you are ready to set you must use your finger tips (try using just your thumb and your two pointer fingers) to tilt the ball forward, but your arms will change position. They will have to be higher above your head; almost like your arms spring up when getting ready to set ball.
• Do not hold the ball in your hands for even a second, this is called a carry, or hold.
• When you are getting ready to set the ball, you may want to look through the diamond "window" you made with your fingers.
• Make sure you touch the ball only with your fingertips, not your palms.
• You may practice setting against a wall to improve your skills
• You should never hear a slap from your palm this means your using your palms not your fingers.

Warnings

• If you have your hands too far apart the ball might pound you in the face.
• Do not hit the ball with too much force or you may injure your fingers or hands
• This technique takes practice and it will be difficult when you first begin

How to Bump a Volleyball

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit
The bump is perhaps the most basic and most essential skill in volleyball. The bump is used to hit a ball that is below the head, and is typically used as the first touch to receive a serve or return. If you're going to master volleyball, you'll need to master the bump. Here's how.

Steps

1. 'Get in Position.' You should be in "athletic posture." Place your feet about shoulder width apart, lean forward a bit, and bend your knees, keeping them in line with your toes. Be ready to move to the ball.
2. Move to the ball so that it will come down squarely in front of you. You can bump the ball backwards, of course, but you still want to make sure that you make contact with the ball right in front of you (you may need to turn away from the net).
3. Prepare your arms. Make your forearms into a flat "platform" by holding your arms out straight in front of you, almost parallel to the ground. Clasp your hands in front of you, with your thumbs together, side-by-side. Don't lace your fingers together. You can either make a fist with one hand and wrap the other around it, or you can bend one thumb down to its palm, and press the heel of that hand into the palm of the other. You can also hold your arms flat and together, palms open and up. Lock your pinky fingers together so your arms don't come apart as easily. Remember to keep your elbows locked and your knees bent.
4. Pass the ball. Keep your eye on the ball. Follow the trajectory of the ball as it comes down and even as you hit it. Make contact with the ball at about waist-level. When the ball is right above your forearms, straighten your legs so that your arms move up to meet it. Try to contact the ball about a third of the way between your wrists and your elbows (closer to the wrists rather than to the elbows). At the same time, move your arms forward and up slightly, but keep in mind that the majority of the force should come from your legs.
5. Aim the ball. Dip or twist your shoulder to aim the ball. You can't really aim with your forearms, because you need to keep them flat in order to provide a good platform for the ball. Instead move from the shoulders so that both arms stay together and move as one unit. Ideally, you can square up with the ball so you can just hit it straight forward.
6. Follow through. Hit "through" the ball, but keep your "platform" flat and under control, even after the ball has left you.
7. It is helpful, when learning to bump, if you place you left hand in a fist facing up and wrap your right hand around it soon this will become habit.

Tips

• Remember, keep your arms straight and level. If you tilt your arms a little, the ball will go in the direction perpendicular to the angle of your arms. This can be done purposefully in order to hit the ball towards a teammate. Make sure that you have the ability to hit a straight bump so you can better control where the ball goes when you have to hit it in a game.
• While you can use the bump to hit the ball back over the net, in more advanced play it is usually used simply to get the ball under control and in position for the set and spike.
• Practice is definitely necessary when learning the bump. A good way to practice is to bump a volleyball against a wall as many times as you can in a row.
• Try not to "swing" your arms when passing a ball. This could cause a "wild" pass. Your arms should not come above shoulder-level. Instead, try to square up with the ball so you can hit it straight forward or, if that's not possible, dip your shoulder to aim.
• You can get more power in your bump by transferring your weight forward as you hit it.
• If you're playing with more than three people you may want to call the ball, by saying "MINE!" to avoid running into each other
• If the ball is coming at you fast, you may not need to put as much power in to your bump.
• DO NOT LEAN to the ball! do nt bend your back as it poses bad control. Bend your knees and take a jump-step forward or back. ONLY lean in desperate situations i.e. you running full force after a ball that was hit wide.

Warnings

• Be sure not to cross your fingers. This could lead to injury if the ball accidentally hits your hands.
• Do not hit the ball with your hands. Many people say it hurts to play volleyball but it is usually because they are hitting the ball with their hands. In addition, the hands do not make a good, flat platform, and you're bump will likely go errant.
• Don't lift or "carry" the ball. The bump should be a quick hit. If the ball stays in contact with your body for too long, you could be called for a fault and lose a point.
