BASIC SKILLS IN
VOLLEYBALL

BASIC SKILLS IN VOLLEYBALL
THERE ARE 5 BASIC SKILLS IN VOLLEYBALL,
NAMELY:
Serving
Receiving
Tossing
Spiking
Blocking

-
-
A. SERVING
To start the game. It is the most important element of volleyball.
It is the attempt to drive the ball into the opponent’s court

TYPES OF SERVING
1. Underhand Serve – the player need to hold the ball with their non-dominant hand, drop the ball
slightly and finally hit the ball with the dominant hand.

2. Sidearm Serve – The ball is held at about hip level and is tossed about a foot into the air while the
arm swings parallel to the floor. If the player is right-handed, the left side of the body faces the net, lef
t foot forward and swing the arm as similar as the forearm swing.

3. Overhand Serve – hold the ball with the non-dominant hand then toss the ball 2-3 feet I front of th
e body and then hit it with the strong and hard surface of the dominant hand

B. Receiving
- the serve is vital to success for any team. Poor reception of serving puts teams hoping to get a si
de out at a huge disadvantage right from the beginning

1. Dig – the attempt by a team to properly handle the opponent’s serve or any for
m of attack

2. Bump – a method used for passing the ball by bouncing it simultaneously off
both forearms – used when the ball falls at players waist or lower. A defensive hit.

C. Tossing
1. Finger toss or Set
2. Ball Handling

D. Spiking – an effective attack that a player can make

E. Blocking – used to prevent the opponent from a successful attack hit

POSITION OF
PLAYERS IN COURT

VOLLEYBALL POSITIONS IN A TEAM
•Outside hitter (also called wing spiker, left side)
•Right side hitter (wing spiker, right side)
•Opposite Hitter (attacker)
•Setter
•Middle Blocker (center, middle hitter)
•Libero

OUTSIDE HITTER (ALSO CALLED WING SPIKER, LEFT SIDE)
Outside Hitter is the player who carries the serve receive responsibility along
with the libero.
Outside hitter most often attacks the balls which setter sets to the antenna to
the left side of the court. Therefore after the serve outside hitters place
themselves to the left front position. Sometimes setters run offensive plays in
which outside hitters run to hit balls “inside” around the middle blockers. They
play both the front row and the back row. In modern high level volleyball outsid
e hitters are responsible for hitting the 3 meter or 10 feet line attacks, usually
from the middle back position when playing in the back row.

RIGHT SIDE HITTER (WING SPIKER, RIGHT SIDE)
Right side hitter has the similar role than outside hitter, they play front row and
back row and are carrying pass, attack, block, serve and defense
responsibilities.
Right side hitters aim to place themselves to the right front playing position.
When playing top level international volleyball on the back court right side hitter
often have 3 meter or 10 feet attack responsibility from the middle back
position.
Right side hitter can be also called a wing spiker.

Setter
The setter is the playmaker, point guard or the quarterback of the volleyball
team. A setter’s responsibility is to run the team’s offense and build up
offensive scoring opportunities for the team.
The setter plays both front row and back row, therefore s/he needs to be able
to block, serve and play defense.
The setter needs to have good blocking skills because in front row position
s/he plays against the opponent’s outside hitter who often carries big load of
the attacking responsibility for the team.
The setter plays the right front or the right back position

MIDDLE BLOCKER (CENTER, MIDDLE, MIDDLE HITTER)
Middle blockers main responsibility is to stop the opponent’s offense.
The middle blocker builds a block which stops the ball, or allows the team to
dig the ball up.
Middle blockers' job is to stop the opponent’s middle hitters or wing hitters in
co-operation with teammates.
Middle blockers need to have great blocking, attacking and serving skills.

MIDDLE BLOCKER (CENTER, MIDDLE, MIDDLE HITTER)
Middle Blockers in the Back Row:
In competitive volleyball middle blockers usually play defense only on one rotati
on - after an own serve. After losing the rally after an own serving turn, a libero
usually comes in and replaces the middle blocker.
The middle blocker usually don’t master in defense because they hardly play a
ny of it. However, at junior level practicing defense and even passing is very re
commended for the middles. Junior coaches should allow players to practice all
the skills equally to ensure their overall skill development. This improves their a
thleticism and prepares players to play other positions - i.e. they may not be tall
enough to play middle in the future.

LIBERO
The libero wears a different color shirt in the team and is allowed to enter and
exit the game without substitution request.
The libero can replace any player on the court and most often replaces middle
blockers.
The libero is not allowed to serve the ball. (Some leagues in US allow liberos to
serve.)
Since playing in the back court only, the libero needs to have the best passing and
defensive skills in the team. The libero need to have exceptional serve
receive skills because often they pass a larger area than other serve receivers in
the team.
