What is the importance of the dig during game play in volleyball?

Answer 1

The most important thing about a Volleyball dig is that you can get the ball from anywhere on the court by sliding on your knee's and also just by having a simple technique.

The best technique is to squat when you are under the ball with your legs shoulder width apart, like your sat on the toilet and bounce up when you have contact with the ball. weave your fingers between each other or clench two fist's and line your thumbs on top.

The best contact with the ball for a accurate dig would be just above your wrists.

I hope this helped :)

Answer 2

Well first of all, a dig is when a DS gets a good pass of of a hit. These are important because if you dont did it in the first place, the other team will get a kill and you'll lose a point, but digs are also important because its the first touch to set up your offense (set being next).

Answer 3

The dig is one of the most important things in the terms of volleyball because without a successful dig, there can be no set and opposing attack.
