2  Invented in 1895 by William P. Morgan  First called mintonette  Was similar to badminton, tennis, basketball, baseball, and handball History

7  Passing  Serving  Setting  Spiking  Blocking Skills

8  One of the most important skills in volleyball  First step to a successful offense  Keep the ball between yourself and the target Passing

9  Feet are shoulder-width apart with dominant foot slightly forward  Head is in front of shoulders  Shoulders are in front of knees and knees are flexed  Body is in a comfortable medium posture Passing *Ready Position*

10  Body weight is on the balls of your feet with toes pointing straight ahead  Arms are in a relaxed position with the elbows bent and hands up and in your line of vision  Body is upright with chest up, not bent at the waist Passing *Ready Position*

11  Keep the ball between your body and the net, even when moving  Set up in balanced position before movement or contact  Keep hands in front of your body with your elbows locked when forming and presenting your platform to the ball Passing *V-Platform*

12  Keep wrists parallel and thumbs pointed toward the floor  Interlock your hands comfortably with the fleshy part of your thumbs pressed together  Do not cross your thumbs Passing *V-Platform*

13  Present a good and relaxed, but firm, platform for the ball to rebound from  Contact ball on your forearms between your elbows and your wrists  Face your platform in the direction you intend to pass Passing *Contact*

14  Move through the ball to the target  Keep knees flexed when you step to the target and transfer your body weight forward  Maintain arms in a firm yet flexible platform  Recover and be ready to continue play after contact Passing *Follow-Through*

15 PASSING

16  Other most important skill in volleyball  Only skill that one player completely controls because no one else touches the ball before the server does  Best serve is an ace – serve that is not passable and scores an immediate point Serving

17  Types of Serves  Underhand  Overhand (Floater)  Topspin  Jump Serving

18  A two-handed overhead pass to an attacker  Usually the second contact made during a play  The setter is a position that is similar to a quarterback or point guard  Everyone on a team should know how to set Setting

19  An attempt to end the play by hitting the ball to the floor on the opponent’s side of the net  A hit or attack  A “kill” is a ball that is spiked and scores a point Spiking

20  A combination of one, two, or three players getting in front of their opponent’s spiker and stopping or slowing down the attack with their hands  The first line of defense  Key element is timing Blocking

21  4-2 Offense  Four team members are spikers and 2 are setters  6-6 Offense  All six players spike in the spiking position and set in the setting position Offensive Strategies

22  Serve Reception (“W” Formation)  Provides complete coverage of the court  2-4 Defense (Player Back)  4 players near perimeter and 2 blocking  2-1-3 (Player-Up Defense)  The center back position plays up and behind the block Defensive Strategies

23  When the ball is not in play, players must stay in proper order  Rotate in a clockwise manner  Player who rotates to the right back position serves or, if at the start of the game, serves first  Each team has a maximum of 3 contacts to get the ball over the net Basic Rules

24  A ball that is blocked DOES NOT count as 1 of the 3 allowed contacts  No player may hit the ball twice in a row, except a blocker  A player may not touch any part of the net or it is a fault Basic Rules

25  Scoring  When a team scores, it is worth 1 point.  In rally scoring, a point is awarded to whoever wins each rally  If the rally is won by the nonserving team, the team receives the point, earns a side-out, rotates, and serves  The first team to 25 and that is ahead by 2 wins the game Basic Rules
