Volleyball! It's very basic to know it's theory ( at least a part of it)

· We should always pass and dig with forearms since they are hard parts of hands than any other.

· Never swing your arms.

· ‘creation of platform by forearms’ is where the volleyball should be contacted (instead of fists or wrists), so the contact should be 2-6 inches above wrists.

· The part of our arms that should contact the volleyball is the forearms (as contact with the volleyball is significant for determining the trajectory of the volleyball) to hit and control the volleyball.

· Forearms should be flat to provide a ‘good’ platform for the volleyball.

· Arms need to stay together because aiming is impossible with forearms, as they need to be flat, said.

· Arms should be straight and away from the body.

· you cannot hit the volleyball directly with a fist or any other part of your entire hand when a volleyball is forcefully, accurately, efficiently aiming at you, rather than ‘forearm’ because this strong part of your hand will change the direction of the volleyball and hit the volleyball hard to opponent’s side if this technique is properly used, which is one of the most frequently occurring situations in volleyball plays.

· ‘bumping a volleyball’ is highly significant for a reason, which is that its used to hit a volleyball that’s below your head (or) at your platform (as most professionals in volleyball call it) and is a typical technique implemented best towards the first touch to receive the serve (or) to receive a ‘hard and efficient, driven hit’ and the body part used for this is the significant, forearm, which is strongest for volleyball players and should be so, for the safety of players because if your forearm is powerful then it is a great start off for 'pre-volleyball stars and if not, then also it can be prepared to become powerful(that is, in the process of hardening your forearm then you will not simply hurt It much harder, than how much you could hurt any other part of your hand than the forearm).

· This forearm pass technique is typically used as the first touch to receive a service or a hard-driven hit.

First of all, in overhand serve, the player tosses the volleyball with a hand and hits it off in the air with the other hand above their head, so these steps should be strictly followed for describing overhand service:

· Always use the hand in between the palm and fingers.

· The ‘exertion of weight’ should be kept on the dominant foot (slightly in front of the non-dominant foot), and both should be a foot’ or 12 inches apart.

· knees slightly bent to position for bringing all your energy to hit the volleyball off after tossing, so how you want to bend your knees depends entirely on your ‘comfort-ability.’

· Toss the volleyball (not behind yourselves) by tossing about as high as the arm when it is entirely extended upward (this is where you make contact with the volleyball) and by facing the palm towards the ground. “Toss it with a hand and hit it with the other.”

· Bring the arm ‘all the way down if that is how better the serve has been because it is about going beyond the contact met and channeling your efforts ahead.

· Pre-determine where you want the volleyball to reach in the opponent’s court.

Second of all, in underhand serve, follow these steps:

· The ‘exertion of weight’ should be applied on the dominant foot (back).

· Face the hips toward the net

· Step with the foot opposite the arm with which we serve.

· Since the volleyball needs an ‘upward trajectory’ and direction, the point of contact is slightly below the volleyball’s center.

· Hit the volleyball off with a fist.

· The serve should be such that hands are moved in ‘arc motion’ or 180 degrees angle/semi-circle shape.

· Bring back the serving arm, behind the body, in a rapid underhand motion.

· The trickiness of this serve is that ‘in the flow of striving to hit the volleyball hard to push it far, the serving hand loses the direction ‘set’ to hit the volleyball with the fist, automatically so we should watch out for this, too.

Compilation of disadvantages and advantages of both the serves:

Underhand serve is rarely used in international/high-level competitions because opponents can easily catch it; it is because of the lack of vital speed of the volleyball and the low length trajectory/curve/parabola reached by the volleyball compared to overhand, where you toss the volleyball high (not above your reach), jump/or not, squash it off the great power which should go high and far if the technique is properly done.

Underhand serve is easy to learn and hit & control since fists are mostly strong and harder than other parts of our body, mainly in the stage of learning.

Overhand serve is advanced, and if it goes wrong, then the volleyball goes somewhere out of the court, which is foul and hence, is not better than underhand serve if you are not perfect to a needful extent yet. Especially if ‘jump’ has not been done properly, then it would again be foul, i.e., out of the court.

It is about wisely placing your feet and tossing the ball. Go ahead in combining your skills to yield an amazing serve! I have been told that it is mostly about tossing, stepping up, and hitting it off. As far as overhand serving is considered, the order can vary.

· A ‘set’ is a rapid motion that positions the volleyball for a hit, and the feasibility with which the ‘setters’ (volleyball term for the players who set the volleyball) do not always understand where the volleyball is actually going.

· The ability to set the volleyball where it needs to be, Is not easy without practice.

· A set is an overhead pass implemented to change the direction of the ‘dig’ and keep the volleyball in a ‘good’ position for the ‘spiker.’

· ‘setting’ in volleyball is no less than a trick and a confusing message to the opponent about where the volleyball will land.

· But while using set, know that it is better and the volleyball goes high and far (or) make it hard for your opponents to ‘block’ the volleyball, and if there are best blockers in your opponent’s team, then make sure that you ‘SET’ ‘BEST’ in such a way that opponent is deceived, by where the volleyball is going to come over.

· Know if the ‘blocker’ (s)(opponent) is not/are not guarding an area well, a blocker is not fit for what he/she is doing, or if you know that some default fault in your opponent while blocking is going to happen.

· Contact with the volleyball, just above the center of your forehead, roughly at your hairline, and try to make contact with all the fingers touching the volleyball instead making them touch each other; strive to contact the volleyball by spreading all your fingers on more of the surface area of the volleyball, since there would be ‘control’ of the volleyball.

· Never touch the volleyball with palms, since it means ‘catching the volleyball,’ which is opposed to volleyball rules.

Being a beginner in volleyball, based on my experiences and some research on significant beginners, these rules should be changed for our safety of us: (2 rules and an additional rule)

· Based on my experience and research, ‘No setting or attacking a serve is another rule that is not beneficial for all time, because SERVE is always STRIVED to be the best in accuracy, efficiency, and perfectionism (in levels of beginners or advanced players), so the essential speed at which the ball is coming over can be dealt with attacking or bumping the serve (where also another rule should be added that, you should not use super force to bump the serve because if an object with much force is coming over then again, you use much force to bump or attack it then forearms, and entirely arms will ache).

· Based on my experience and research, ‘bumping’ behind within a team is one of the most confusing faults and accepted, but the problem with this acceptance is that the player whose bumping behind could damage his/her face, arms might not be extended beyond the chest upwards in a hurry to gain points/win/hit it off and could not be extended when, WITHIN THE TEAM, the ball is to go behind the respective player, the players back of this ‘respective player whose implementing bump’ might not receive since there is obviously less distance between the one whose doing the bump and players behind the one whose doing the bump so, after all of this, the ball has to go out of this court and becomes foul so increase the distance between the players of each team (or dimensions of volleyball court OR reduce the number of players for both the teams, equivalently)

· Additional rule is that: every volleyball player should know the basics of volleyball, but based on which volleyball player is the best for overhand serve, underhand or serve, blocking, defending or attacking, etc., the players should be placed in the volleyball positions, which does happen but should really become a rule because ‘everyone wants to win’ and hence, ‘rotating’ the positions will lead to a good defender go to attacking zone so rotations should be a rule that’s less likely implemented, based on my experience.
