Bend your knees deeply to get low and well beneath the ball as it comes toward you. Extend your legs and body upward to meet the ball, keeping your elbows and shoulders in a somewhat fixed position at the time the ball rebounds off the forearms.
3. Spiking
A spike is a hard hit, which sends the ball directly downward over the top of the net onto the opponent’s court. The spike is made with an open hand by hitting the ball with the heel of the hand with a quick whip action of the shoulder, arm, and hand.
Your classmate must set up the ball before you can spike. The set-up should be at least 5 ft. above the top of the net and parallel to it, and from 1 to 2 ft. away from it. Face the net at an arms distance. Bend your knees, keep your weight forward. Swing your arms upward to help you get height as you spring into the air. Hit the ball at the highest point of your jump. At the height of your jump, your hitting hand should be bent with your hand behind your head. Quickly whip your hitting arm upward and toward the ball, straightening your arm and snapping your wrist downward as you contact the top of the ball with heel of your hand. Hit the ball downward across the top of the net and be sure you do not touch the net.
The block is a defensive manoeuvre against a spiked ball. After deciding where the spike is coming from, you should go to that area at the net about 2 ft. from it. Jump with the spike at the same time as the spiker. Straighten your arms to reach high above your head, thumbs together with fingers spread and pointing upward. The ball will rebound from the straight fingers and is deflected back toward your team mates.
