What is the ready position in volleyball?

Answer 1

The position a player should be in when preparing to receive and pass a serve or attack. Where your feet are shoulder length apart, knees bent, keeping on your toes, and keeping you arms out and ready for the ball to come your way.

Answer 2

Usually its bending your knees with your arms in front of you in a "get ready to pass" position. Don't position your arms together yet, until the ball is about 5-6 feet away from you, maybe farther. They way they used to teach is was to act like your sitting in a chair, but that never really worked. usually its just a crouch-ish position

Answer 3

Feet shoulder width apart, knees lightly bent, lean forward a little, and have your arms AT YOUR SIDE!! You don't bring your hands together until right before contact with the ball. This makes it easier to move around the court.

Answer 4

Well it obviously means to get ready for the ball.

My coaches said to have your arms spread out to the sides, therefore its easier to set or volley the ball. Also have you legs bent ready to run so you can either run or dive for the ball.

Answer 5

The ready position is when a player has their knees bent and their arms out in front of them. The player's weight should be centered between the two feet, which are spaced about shoulder-width apart. This position prepares a player to quickly move in any direction: left, right, dive, or jump.

Answer 6

Hands up by chest ready to set or bump

knees bent enough as far as u can go without it hurting

my coach says toes pointed in a little but it is harder to move that way

Answer 7

Knees bent, down low, arms shoulder-width apart and out. Keep your butt out and be on your toes. It should burn your thighs until you get used to it.Sources: I play junior Olympic volleyball.
