What is a an example of a dig in volleyball?

Answer 1

When you sprawl out to get the ball and get it up. This could be considered a dig, but a dig is also somewhat like a bump. It's pretty much just when you pass the ball after a hit or serve.

That evolved into two or three descriptions of a dig. The term was used in the 50's for digging a ball spiked in front of you off the beach without the ball touching the beach first. It is not "pretty much just when you pass the ball after a hit or serve".
