1. Warm Up (continuation of 3v3 from last week)
2.1 The Underhand or Forearm Pass
This pass is often called the dig, is a technique unique in style to volleyball. It is used to play a ball which is
traveling too last and low to overhand, and is performed by bringing the forearms together to make a platform, off
which the ball rebounds. It is used most often to receive the service or an attacking shot from the opponents, and it
is necessary that this important skill is introduced and mastered early in the development of students.
Types of Forearm Pass
The forearm pass is a general term which is used to describe several similar but slightly differing techniques.
The service reception or first pass technique is used to receive a service. (Higher posture, more time
to see and react to the ball.)
The defensive pass is used to prevent a hard or a placed smash from hitting the floor. (Lower posture,
very little time to see and react to the ball.)
The free ball pass is used to control a relatively easy, high ball from the opponents and to pass it to the
setter. (More upright posture, no time pressure.)
Technique Description
The student should:
be alert and ready to move to the ball. (a)
watch the student playing the ball, watch the ball and anticipate where it is going
move quickly to the interception point (midline of body, ball well in front of body and between the waist and
knees), maintain good posture and create space in which to contact the ball well in front of the body. (b)
before the ball arrives be in a balanced position, feet slightly more than shoulder width apart, knees bent and
shoulders relaxed.
the hips should be back and the arms and hands extended in front of the body.
the ball is contacted on the midline of the body between the knees and the waist; the ball is played on the
forearms. (c)
The speed of the incoming ball determines how it is played:
If it is slow, the student has to give it some speed in order for it to reach the target. This is achieved by extending
from the knees and playing the ball with the whole body weight in the direction of the target. The student should
not swing the arms at the ball. (For an example of a free ball pass see diagram below.)
If it is medium-paced, the student should act as a wall and allow the ball to bounce off the forearms; this is used
frequently during service reception.
If it is very fast, the student should absorb some of the speed of the ball by moving the whole body backwards
as the ball contacts the forearms. (This is the defensive dig, an advanced skill requiring perfect timing but it should
be needed only when the opponents are serving or smashing the ball very fast.)
HPE2204 Semester 2 2016 Tutorial 11
The student should recover from the shot and be thinking about what will happen next, and how he/she should
respond to the changing situation.
Ball Contact
The ball is played on the fleshy inside edges of the forearms just above
the wrists. The elbows should be straight and must not bend during the
passing action.
The students should imagine that the ball is a bubble which they do not
want to burst. Telling them to touch the bubble gently rather than hitting
can help students to gain a correct feel for what good contact in the
forearm pass is like.
To form a flat platform, bring the edges of the hands together, palms up;
rest the fingers of the left hand on the fingers of the right hand and close
the hands up until the thumbs are touching and parallel.
(Fatty Forearms)
it
The angle of the hips and the arms is the key to getting
sufficient height with the forearm pass.
To play the ball high, get the hips under the ball.
REMEMBER
The key task for the student is to read the ball flight and to move to establish a correct body posture and contact
point prior to playing the ball.
Touching the ball rather than hitting it helps to promote good control
Practices for Forearm or Underhand Pass

2.2 Bump Ball
Aim:
To familiarise students with ball/arm contact.
Rules: Student A tosses the ball in the air, lets it bounce
and moves under the ball to pass to self, lets it bounce, pass
to self.
KTPs: Establish control of the ball before insisting on
height of pass. Ensure students take the ball well in front of
the body and use knee extension, not arm swing, to pass the
ball.
2.3 Bump To Partner

Aim:
To teach contact point in front of the body.
Rules: A feeds slightly in front of B, who moves forward
bump the ball back to A.
KTPs: Use words to create a soft contact with the ball:
Touch the ball gently; The ball is like a bubble.
to
2,4 Bump Through the Angle

Aim:
Rules:
KTPs:
To develop the skill of passing the ball through an angle.

A feeds over the net to B, who passes the ball to target student C. C
catches the ball and returns it to A to feed again.
B must use body weight towards the target to control the direction of
the pass.
2.5 Bump and Cover

Aim:
Rules:
KTPs:
To teach movement and linking to the next

As above but C overhand passes ball to self and then to a new
position for B. B bumps again to C.
B must stay in posture and adjust quickly to the new position. B
learns to link to the next action and to control the length of the
forearm pass action.
