UNDERHAND SERVE
To perform an underhand serve, the player's feet should be
placed behind the service line, shoulder-width apart, and
perpendicular to the end line. Then, the player will hold the
ball in his off-hand in front of his body with the palm facing up
and toss it about 0.3 meters straight into the air with his offhand. As the ball descends, the player will swing his or her
dominant hand across the body with a closed fist, hitting the
bottom third of the ball toward the net. The amount of force
used depends on how far the serve is intended to fall in the
opposite court.
OVERHAND SERVE
In the overhand serve, the player should face the net with his
feet slightly staggered and slightly step forward with the foot
opposite the dominant hand. The ball shall be held in the nondominant hand at arm's length in front of the body with the
palm facing up. Also, the dominant arm shall be held above
the shoulder, with the elbow facing backward and the hand
pointing forward. After this, the player will toss the ball one
meter in the air, bend forward, and rotate the dominant arm
upward and into the ball's path. Then, the player will hit the
ball with an open hand and follow through on the arm swing,
rotating the upper body for more power.
PASSING
For the player's athletic position, he should face the direction
from where the ball will arrive with feet slightly staggered and
shoulder-width apart. His knees should also be bent with the
upper body slightly leaned forward, and hands held loosely in
front of the body. Then, when the player has decided to pass
the ball, the player will clasp his hands together with
his thumbs exactly even and pointing at the floor 1 meter in
front of him while maintaining straight elbows. The athlete
should observe the flight of the ball and position his feet such
that the ball contacts a place on his forearms above the wrist,
between his outstretched arms while remaining in a crouching
stance and without reaching off balance in any direction.
HAND SETTING
Hand setting requires the player to face the target and stand
with feet shoulder-width apart and the left foot slightly in
front of the right foot. The hands should also be slightly above
and in front of the forehead with thumbs pointing towards the
forehead and fingers pointing skyward. The setter must wait
for the ball to come into contact with both hands at the same
time. Then, the setter adjusts the direction of the ball toward
the target by pushing with both arms toward the target. This
will conclude the skill with arms fully extended and fingers
pointing at the ball as it curves toward the target.
