[17] These are in turn divided into 3 areas each: these are numbered as follows, starting from area "1", which is the position of the serving player: After a team gains the serve (also known as siding out), its members must rotate in a clockwise direction, with the player previously in area "2" moving to area "1" and so on, with the player from area "1" moving to area "6". This means that beach volleyball players require a versatile skill set, as opposed to specializing in one skill. [87][88] Given the outdoor nature of naturism, a beach version of volleyball was naturally adopted. The pass is the first of a team's 3 allowed contacts. The set (called a "quick set") is placed only slightly above the net and the ball is struck by the hitter almost immediately after leaving the setter's hands. For the beach team sport, see. [17] These contacts usually consist first of the bump or pass so that the ball's trajectory is aimed towards the player designated as the setter; second of the set (usually an over-hand pass using wrists to push finger-tips at the ball) by the setter so that the ball's trajectory is aimed towards a spot where one of the players designated as an attacker can hit it, and third by the attacker who spikes (jumping, raising one arm above the head and hitting the ball so it will move quickly down to the ground on the opponent's court) to return the ball over the net. Volleyball is essentially a game of transition from one of the above skills to the next, with choreographed team movement between plays on the ball. Commitment Date 18s - 15s.

Soccerball — combines soccer, … An antenna is placed on each side of the net perpendicular to the sideline and is a vertical extension of the side boundary of the court. The attack, also known as the spike, is usually the third contact a team makes with the ball. Naturists were early adopters of the game. [3] If the ball is hit around, above, or through the block, the defensive players arranged in the rest of the court attempt to control the ball with a dig (usually a fore-arm pass of a hard-driven ball). [9] In the 1960s, an attempt to start a professional volleyball league was made in Santa Monica. There are many ways to get the ball over the net. Digging is the ability to prevent the ball from touching one's court after a spike or attack, particularly a ball that is nearly touching the ground.

Box 1217 Pierre, SD 57501 [3] A 'bounce' is a slang term for a very hard/loud spike that follows an almost straight trajectory steeply downward into the opponent's court and bounces very high into the air. It can be used to deceive opposite blockers and free a fourth hitter attacking from back-court, maybe without block at all. Due to these differences, bump setting (forearm pass) is more common in the beach game. [41] They are usually given with both hands by the serving player's partner prior to the serve, with the left hand referring to the type of block that should be put up against the left-side attacker, and the right hand similarly referring to the right-side attacker.

If the ball is hit around, above, or through the block, the defensive player positioned behind the blocker attempts to control the ball with a dig (usually a forearm pass). [76][77] Most players, however, prefer the two-piece bikini. [32] Unlike indoor volleyball, a wide variety of shots are utilized in beach volleyball due to the fewer defenders on court. Most of these early beach volleyball matches were played with teams of at least six players per side, much like indoor volleyball. A number of consistent techniques have evolved in volleyball, including spiking and blocking (because these plays are made above the top of the net, the vertical jump is an athletic skill emphasized in the sport) as well as passing, setting, and specialized player positions and offensive and defensive structures.

[18], A fault is committed when a referee judges that a team has made a playing action that violates the rules. Volleyball rules were slightly modified by the International YMCA Training School and the game spread around the country to various YMCAs. When employing an overhand pass (hands separated, ball handled with the fingers) as the second of three team touches (usually with the intent of "setting" the ball, so that the other player may make a more effective attack-hit), the standard for a double contact fault is more lenient than when receiving or attacking, though still much stricter than in indoor volleyball. It has been an Olympic sport since the 1996 Summer Olympics. Digging is a similar skill to passing, but the term is not used to describe receiving the serve or a free ball, but rather refers to an attempt to prevent an opponent's attack hit from touching the court. In the winter of 1895,[4] in Holyoke, Massachusetts (United States), William G.

The opposite hitter may be used as a third attack option (back-row attack) when the setter is in the front row: this is the normal option used to increase the attack capabilities of modern volleyball teams. When receiving an opponent's hard-driven attack, a double contact (provided both contacts occur in a single action) and/or a slight lift of the ball is allowed. [32] Due to the stricter standards for ball rotation when hand setting in beach volleyball than in indoor volleyball, as well as the environmental factors that make it harder to hand set a ball "cleanly",[27] the bump set is more common in the beach game.
