Volleyball
Serve Receive – Going Beyond Perfect
Passing Form
In the previous
volleyball serve receive and volleyball
passing drills pages, you have
learned the very basics of passing. You were taught how you should keep
the ball in front of your body when passing.
That’s
what you
probably have heard from your coaches over and over again.
And your coaches are absolutely right: “perfect volleyball
passing
form” is your ultimate goal.
That’s how
you should pass it
every time.
However - very often in the match it is simply not possible.
Advanced Volleyball Serve Receive Techniques
When
you take a closer look at top players’ techniques they repeatedly end
up passing the ball from the right or left side of their body, high
above their waist level, maybe even above their head etc.
Since players are forced to use these "odd"
volleyball serve
receive
techniques frequently, players absolutely need to practice those
techniques also. We say those passes happen as often as
the “perfect
passing form”.
This is not teaching players to use wrong
techniques; these
techniques
improve player’s capability to pass the ball. They absolutely
are as
accepted as “the perfect passing form”.
For sure it
is easier to pass
the ball with “perfect passing form”. And of course the goal still
is to perform “the perfect volleyball passing form”, but
because
serving has become a very dominant and powerful in the recent years,
players often don’t have enough time to perform that perfect passing
form.
That is the reason why volleyball players
have to learn to pass
the ball all around their body.
When?
A player should use these serve receive techniques:
- when passer simply does not have enough time to
move behind the ball
- some great outside hitters (wing hitters) use
these passing
techniques to their advantage. They maybe saving a step or two, which
allows them to go to swing the ball quicker after ball is passed.
Why?
- to increase the passing percentage, being able
to
pass up also the most difficult serves
How?
The similar principles compared to “perfect passing form” apply:
- Movement to the ball (by shuffling)
- Stop the movement
- You might have to turn your body away from the
target. For
example when passing the ball from the left side, you’ll turn your body
towards left side line and take a step back with your left foot.
- Still having a balanced and steady position
with your both
feet, turn the platform towards the target (setter).
- No swinging with arms, with steady platform
passer directs
the ball to the target.
