Players start this passing pattern with a defensive dig to themselves, followed by a push into the air and then set the ball across the net to player 2 who repeats this pattern.
Dig - (self) Pass - Set
The Defensive Dig:
Players should stand with their knees bent and legs just wider than shoulder width apart. Eyes on the ball to the point of contact with wrists, ensuring their wrists are together and their head should be level with the ball at point of contact
The Set:
Eyes up looking at ball trajectory and with knees bent, standing on the balls of their feet. Players should bend their elbows outwards and push through the ball with fingers.
Volleyball demands explosive power, quick reactions, and endurance for long matches. Sport-specific conditioning prepares athletes for the unique physical demands of the game while reducing injury risk.
Volleyball is the ultimate team sport - no player can dominate alone. Effective communication before, during, and after every play prevents confusion and creates a cohesive, confident team.
Elite attackers don't just hit hard - they hit smart. Shot variety, reading the block, and making good decisions under pressure separate great hitters from one-dimensional power players.
