BASIC SKILLS
IN VOLLEYBALL
 1. SERVE
- The first contact that
starts every rally
 TYPES OF SERVE
1. Underhand:
- a serve in which the
player strikes the ball
below the waist instead of
tossing it up and striking it
with an overhand throwing
motion.
 2. Sky Ball Serve:
- a specific type of
underhand serve
occasionally used
in beach volleyball, where
the ball is hit so high it
comes down almost in a
straight line.
 3. TOPSPIN:
- an overhand serve where the
player tosses the ball high
and hits it with a wrist snap,
giving it topspin which causes
it to drop faster than it would
otherwise and helps maintain
a straight flight path.
 4. Float:
- an overhand serve
where the ball is hit
with no spin so that its
path becomes
unpredictable
 5. JUMP SERVE:
- an overhand serve where
the ball is first tossed high in
the air, then the player
makes a timed approach
and jumps to make contact
with the ball, hitting it with
much pace and topspin.
 2. PASSING
• the most important
skill in volleyball.
 3. DIGGING
• a defensive move
employed to keep the
ball from hitting the
floor after an opponent
makes a hard
downward hit.
4. BLOCKING
• deflecting the ball
coming from your
opponent's attack hit.
 5. SETTER
• is the second step of
passing, and it can be done
to either dump the ball over
into an undefended spot or
to “set” the ball into a
position that allows the
hitter to spike it over.
 6. SPIKING
• Hitting the ball at a
strong downward angle
into the opponents
court
COMMON INJURIES IN
VOLLEYBALL
ANKLE SHOULDER JUMPERS
SPRAIN INJURIES KNEE
• Blocking • Spiking • known
• Spiking • Shoulder as patella
joint at high tendinopathy
velocity • tendon pain
 PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
AND TREATMENT
• Stretching, proper hydration, conditioning.
• Knee pads are necessary to help avoid knee injuries and ankle braces
are often used as a way to stabilize the ankles when jumping.
• The most common volleyball associated injuries are found in the
ankles, fingers, shoulders, knees, and the back.
• Treatment for these injuries includes physical therapy, strength
training, and occasionally surgery or a brace. If surgery is needed, the
time to return to play may vary depending on the severity of the
injury.
