Footwork in volleyball is a player's, in this case a hitter's, approach to spike a volleyball. There are multiple approaches, two of the most common are the three and four step approaches. Three step approach. If you are a right handed hitter, you do a three step approach (left, right, left) as follows - step with your left foot, step with your right foot, and the last step brings the left foot to the ground slightly ahead of the right foot. The final jump is done with a two foot take-off. The tempo of the three steps is slow, quick, quick. The four step approach is typically used by outside hitters and uses the same sequence but adding one more step at the start - right, left, right, left (slow, slow, quick, quick).
