Key Abilities Required For Volleyball How To Jump Higher

By Will Delgado


A volleyball teams most awful nightmare is not being able to partake of the talents required to compete at a high ranking level. Abilities like serving, spiking, and the physical conditioning to jump higher, which may help you to get the confidence to remain competitive in any game. Getting back to the fundamental skills in every sport particularly volleyball can help any player obtain the talents needed to have the best opportunity of winning.

General Playing Skills That Should Be Developed

1. Serving. This is what always starts the game and is a mandatory talent. There are 2 basic types of serves. The 1st is overhand; where the player will throw the ball above their head, then hits it on the way down. The second is the underhand serve, where the server cradles the ball in one hand and swings their opposite arm underneath the ball to hit it. Once the one of these basic serves is mastered, a player can the practice adaptations of any one of these.

2. Pass or reception. This is mostly set up by the setter of the game. It is employed to receive the ball and set the ball up to the another player on your own team. They can then be able to put the ball to the opposite side like they want to.

3. Tip. A tip is utilized as a method to fool the other team into assuming the ball will go further than in actuality. The player hits the ball gently, making it just go over the net but not too far into the other team's side so that they can't hit it back.

4. Dig. This is the ability for a player to save the ball from hitting the court after it has been peaked. It customarily needs a player to dive under the ball and extend his/her arms to make the save.

5. Rebound. This occurs when the ball stays on one side (from a block), making the players "rebound", or take the ball back.

Physical Skills That Should Be Developed

1. Swiftness. Briskness is often mistaken for "being fast". A volleyball player does not have to have all out speed, but having briskness is a large plus.

2. Vertical Jump. All things being equal, a volleyball player that can jump higher than the opposition has an important advantage. Being able to jump up to hit a ball before your contestant does may help to win many points.

Developing the physical skills often leads to the additional development of the game skills. Improving a player's sharpness will help them reply faster and let them get to more "saves". A player that may jump higher will be in a position to tip and spike the ball over the opposition easier. And the development of both sets of skills work in cooperation to give the player more confidence in his or her capability to play the game.
