LEARN THE BASICS OF VOLLEYBALL
By: Emily, 12 (aka missOMGgirl)
Want
to play a sport that’s just for you, easy to play,
and equal in every way? Then you should join
volleyball!
You could sign up for it in school or there are
park districts you can play it in if they don’t have
it at school!
There are 3 basic things you need to about
volleyball to play it...
- Bump
- Set
- Spike
These are the main things volleyball players do
to play or win the game, because its what gets the
ball over the net and makes this sport what it is.
You also need to know how to serve it though.
There are 2 easy ways to serve it...
- underhand- (easiest way)
- Overhand- (harder if you don’t have enough
strength)
Don’t know what a serve is?
Easy, a serve is very simple... for underhand
you put one hand into a fist, and hit the ball.
For over hand all you do it put the ball on one
hand, throw it up in the air, and have your
other hand up in the air open completely and HIT
IT
BUMP
You need to have one hand into a fist and the other
hand covering over it with your thumbs touching each
other straight and then you just hit it to another
player. Also, make sure it’s not too powerful; just
hit it enough up so another player can get to it.
SET
Have your both hands up with your finger tips a
little squinted and make sure you see a triangle
between your two hand but don’t have them touching
each other and hold your hands above your forehead.
SPIKE
The spike is the most difficult of all. When you
want to spike it needs to be a good distance from
you that you cant take three step. When you’re done
with your three steps, you put your hand back and
then up into the air ready to hit the ball while you
jump to reach it.
WARNINGS
When you overhand you’re serve and you throw it up
in the air, but then decide to let it drop because
it doesn’t feel right make sure you let it drop to
the floor and do not catch it, or it will be out!
You can’t set on a serve or it will also be an out.
Only 3 hits and no more or it will be out
When you’re running towards the ball and its by the
net do not touch the net or cross the line because
they will call it an out. Well, this is how you play
volleyball!
Its just for girls who don’t really like playing
tough sports and like to be and interact with other
girls + it keeps you healthy and in shape!!! GOOD
LUCK! :) |
