In volleyball, some girls at the net will put a hand behind their back and hold up 1 finger or 2 fingers. 1 finger means that they are blocking line and 2 means that they are blocking cross court. Some with their other hand will hold up two or three fingers. Two means that there are only 2 hitters on the other side and that the setter is front row, which means she/he is able to dump. 3 means that there are 3 live hitters on the other team. Some setters will also signal to their hitters what hits they will run. Most teams make up their own hand signals for hits.
In the game of Basketball, and at all levels, hand-signals are quite commonly used. While the officials who referee the games utilize hand-signals to denote violations of the rules, the players on each side will typically utilize many different hand-signals to communicate with each other. As just one example, a player who possesses the ball may raise a single finger into the air, thereby communicating to his or her teammates that they should run "play 1".

Well first of all they make me feel like i am young again. They symbolize, for me, the togetherness you feel with you communicate without speaking and Volleyball would be completely different wthout the signals. Sometimes i feel regret when i ponder about volleyball because i had to stop playing volleyball due to an injury i received and even thought I am 18 my bones aren't as strong as they should be.

They only use a little flag. They just use hand signals to show that it was out, in, or the server stepped over the line when serving!
There are many signals that are too many to list out. I used to watch my sister play volleyball and it took me a very long time to learn what I thought was all of them. I think I still have more to learn( and I play volleyball now)!
it's where you smack the volleyball really hard with one hand.
Turn signals are definitely preferred. Most drivers don't look for hand signals, but, they do look for turn signals. Some people don't even know how to make correct hand signals while driving.
A one-hand save made low to the ground in volleyball is called a dig.
