Remember...

You should hit a volleyball with a wide open hand, instead of a fist.
Snapping your wrist after you hit a volleyball causes the volleyball to have topspin.
Your arms should be helping you to gain momentum as you jump.
Footwork you use as a hitter is one of the most important aspects of hitting.

Volleyball History

The Origin of Volleyball
Volleyball was first plated in 1895 Holyoke, Massachusetts. It called for a net that was 6 feet tall and any amount of players. There were nine innings with three serves for each team in each inning. There was no limit for the number of ball contacts for each team to send the ball over the net. In case of a serving error a second try was allowed. Hitting the ball into the net was a foul (with the loss of a point or side-out) except for the first serve.
Later Developments
The rules evolved over time: the skill of the set and the spike had been introduced in 1916 and four years later a “three hits” rule was created. In 1917 the game was changed from 21 points to 15 points. Now volleyball is popular in many countries.

This shows the form you should have when passing a volleyball.

What do you need to be successful?

All skills are important in the game of volleyball. If one doesn’t work properly then the nothing else will and that will make you and your team unsuccessful. Your outcome won’t be a good one if the only thing that works on your team is the pass. You need to have a good pass, good set, and a good in order to win games.

Position	Description
Setter	The setter is the second contact of the ball. The main goal is to set the ball up so a hitter can attack the ball and score a point for their team.
Blocking	The block is aimed to stop the other teams attack from scoring a point. Its used to make the hitter less successful. You want the hitter to be intimidated by the block so their hitting outcome isn’t as good.
