THE HIT
• • • • • •
Take off and land with two feet. Approach to the take off position is a left step and then a long low step with the right foot planting a fraction before the left (for a right hander). The rhythm is LEFT RIGHT-LEFT. Both arms swing back and through and the left hand acts as a sight for the ball as the right hand reaches to contact the ball high in front of the hitting shoulder. Contact high on the ball with open hand (fleshy part of palm makes contact with ball). Wrist is loose and snaps over the ball to give top spin. After contact arm follows through to right thigh.
THE FOREARM PASS
HAND POSITION
The Ready position.
• Move to the ball.
• Feet shoulder width apart, one foot slightly in front of the other. • Weight on balls of feet. • Knees bent slightly over toes. • Shoulders forward over knees. • Arms away from body and relaxed.
• Arms are away from the body for entire pass. • Arms straighten and come together, with correct hand position, to receive the ball. • Arms remain straight throughout with very little swing. • Platform for contact of the ball is just above the wrists. • Adjust the angle of the platform so that the thumb nails are facing the target. • Face target (i.e. feet, hips, shoulders and platform square to target).
9
Rest the fingers of the right hand on to the fingers of the left hand. Close the hands up until the thumbs are touching and parallel. Tilt the wrists a little downward, so that thumbs are pointing forward and slightly down. There are some variations possible to this position but two things are critical: 1. The thumbs are aligned side by side. 2. The fingers are not interlocked.
© VAI 2017
THE VOLLEY
• • • • • •
Move to the ball. Volley from just above and in front of the forehead. Have one foot (usually the right) a half step in front of the other. Follow through to extend elbows and finish with thumbs touching. Move to face target (i.e. feet, hips and shoulders facing target). Volley with relaxed hands and fingers spread around the ball.
THE SERVE - UNDERARM
• • • • • •
Stand one foot in front of the other - the foot opposite to serving arm in front. Point left foot to where you wish to serve. Toss the ball low in front of the serving arm. Take a step with the left foot and drag the back foot as you serve. Swing arm like a bowling action, feeding arm releases ball before contact. Contact is made with the heel of the hand or fist.

THE HIT
• • • • • •
Take off and land with two feet. Approach to the take off position is a left step and then a long low step with the right foot planting a fraction before the left (for a right hander). The rhythm is LEFT RIGHT-LEFT. Both arms swing back and through and the left hand acts as a sight for the ball as the right hand reaches to contact the ball high in front of the hitting shoulder. Contact high on the ball with open hand (fleshy part of palm makes contact with ball). Wrist is loose and snaps over the ball to give top spin. After contact arm follows through to right thigh.
THE FOREARM PASS
HAND POSITION
The Ready position.
• Move to the ball.
• Feet shoulder width apart, one foot slightly in front of the other. • Weight on balls of feet. • Knees bent slightly over toes. • Shoulders forward over knees. • Arms away from body and relaxed.
• Arms are away from the body for entire pass. • Arms straighten and come together, with correct hand position, to receive the ball. • Arms remain straight throughout with very little swing. • Platform for contact of the ball is just above the wrists. • Adjust the angle of the platform so that the thumb nails are facing the target. • Face target (i.e. feet, hips, shoulders and platform square to target).
9
Rest the fingers of the right hand on to the fingers of the left hand. Close the hands up until the thumbs are touching and parallel. Tilt the wrists a little downward, so that thumbs are pointing forward and slightly down. There are some variations possible to this position but two things are critical: 1. The thumbs are aligned side by side. 2. The fingers are not interlocked.
© VAI 2017
THE VOLLEY
• • • • • •
Move to the ball. Volley from just above and in front of the forehead. Have one foot (usually the right) a half step in front of the other. Follow through to extend elbows and finish with thumbs touching. Move to face target (i.e. feet, hips and shoulders facing target). Volley with relaxed hands and fingers spread around the ball.
THE SERVE - UNDERARM
• • • • • •
Stand one foot in front of the other - the foot opposite to serving arm in front. Point left foot to where you wish to serve. Toss the ball low in front of the serving arm. Take a step with the left foot and drag the back foot as you serve. Swing arm like a bowling action, feeding arm releases ball before contact. Contact is made with the heel of the hand or fist.
