Volley ball terms

Answer 1

I dont know if you want definitions or just terminology, but here is some common terminology, but its only a few of the basics. Players: setter, hitter, defensive specialist/libero. Calls: out, in, lift, carry, double, in the net, over the net, line violation, touch. Lingo: kill, dig, spike, hit, serve, ace, set.

Answer 2

Set = To use the tips of ones fingers to push the ball into the air. Your fingers usually form a triangle-shape, and you use setting to give the ball to a spiker or for balls that are to high to pass.

Pass = To use ones fore-arms to bump the ball into the air. It is usually used when the ball is to low to set. To allow an accurate pass, your arms must be straight and firm, and your left fist must be inside your right hand with your thumbs facing forward on top.

Spike = To use ones palms to hit the ball downwards over the net as hard as one can. This play is usually for taller and stronger players, but just about anyone can spike, although it might not go low enough to the ground or hard enough. A set usually assists the spike.

Assist = To set the ball to a spiker. When the spiker "spikes" it over the net, then it is called an assist.

Dig = To pass a ball by falling or sliding to the ground. Sometimes called a "dive".

Serve = To hit the ball over the net to start a new set/game. There are lines on the floor of the gym or assigned places where you are playing telling you where to serve. Usually it is marked with a white or black line. If the ball doesn't make it over, the teams usually call out "short" or "net".

Ace = A serve than is unpassable and doesn't make it back over the net or hits the ground without being played.

Kill = A spike that is unpassable or that hits the ground without being played resulting in an immediate point or side-out. Also known as an "attack".

Approach = Fast steps toward the net by a spiker before jumping in the air to block it.

Block = To deflect a spike from coming over the net by jumping in front of the spiker on the opposing side. It usually involves 1, 2, or 3 players.

Side-out = When a serve is a hit outside of the court lines. Can be called a "foul ball".

Ready Position = The flexed, yet comfortable, posture a player assumes before moving to contact the ball. The hands must be at the side. If they are all ready straightened out to pass the ball, this is called an "elephant", and is very ineffective.
