Instructions

1. o

1
Position yourself three to four strides from the net.

Anticipate where the ball is going so you can jump and intercept it with the palm of your hitting hand at the extent of your reach, above and slightly forward of your head.
o

3 4

Explode to that interception point with your first step (your right foot, if you're righthanded), raising both hands in front of your torso.
o

Take two quick small steps (left, right) to gather your feet under you (with knees bent), while simultaneously swinging your arms behind you like a pendulum.
o

5 6

Swing your hands forward and up while jumping; this helps you rocket into the air and places you in proper hitting position.
o

Draw your right hand back behind your head as you rise, so your open palm faces the sky like a waiter carrying a tray.
o

7 8

Point your left hand at the ball, as if you're lining it up in your gun sight (actually, you are).
o

Hammer the ball with your open right hand, snapping the wrist and swiveling your torso to put the maximum amount of topspin and velocity on it.
o

Accept the praise of your teammates if the opposing team can't keep the ball in play - you've just recorded a 'kill.'

Tips & Warnings

If you can't jump high enough to hit the ball when it's above the height of the net, you should spike farther away from the net whenever possible. You want to hit the ball forward and down as much as you can, not straight up so the opposing players have plenty of time to react to it. If you're tall and/or a good jumper, make contact as close to the net as you can (without reaching over it, which is illegal). If there are no blockers in the way, pummel it straight down.

I believe if you can hit it hard enough, you should be able to jump high enough (when not high, and the ball is close to the net, you tend to hit it flat, but I guess this is not the scenario for you). I would recommend that you adjust your approach and jump a little farther behind your hitting spot. That would make you "reach" for the ball instead of hitting it on top of your head. When you put the ball in front of you and you reach and hit, the swing arm will bring the ball downward. It would also help if you flip your wrist harder, but it depends on the strength of your wrist and how much effort you would put in it. Changing of your approach is a little easier. A Japanese coach recommended a training method to grab two beer bottles with each of your hand and circle them for 30 minutes (twice everyday) should help you develop strength in your wrist. Have fun playing volleyball.

cedrpnt Make sure you jump as high as you can, snap your wrist, and extend your arm all the way. If it's still oing out, don't kill it as much until you grow more to jump above the net. o o

EE-LAY... A spike is a pretty powerful offensive weapon and should be used carefully in volleyball. Position yourself 3 to 4 strides from the volleyball net. Then, anticipate where the ball is going, so you can jump and intercept it with your palm with the hand you mostly use. But, you should raise both of your hands before doing this, so the ball doesn't go back. Swing your hands forward and up while jumping. If you can't jump or can't jump high enough to reach the ball, you should spike farther away from the net if possible. But, anyways...as the ball comes at you, hammer the ball with your open, right hand. Take all your strength on that ball and just hit forward as strong as you can. I used to play volleyball, and I didn't really spike the ball that much. I mostly served, but I did spike the ball once in a while. I played this when I was like, in 4th grade. o o

Jonas Brothers Its all about the approach and how much momentum you get.. Your first step shouldnt be two big, The second step should be a little bigger and the last two not too big. So make your second step the biggest because thats the step that you start to swing your arms on:) And jump. Alot, Practice!!

Pearce (roro) Make sure you are hitting on top of the ball and jumping very high. You may not be snapping your wrist so practice just left, right-left JUMP really high, and snap. I do it in my living room all the time, this helps your calves and gets your approach down really well. Eventually, after doing it a ton, it becomes second nature. o o

super_cu... Have you ever heard of the term "Catch a quarter"? It's basically when you put a quarter on your elbow and then snap your wrist and try to catch the quarter. Try this exercise to get an idea of the perfect snap. The snap is what usually makes your hits stay in court. Also the height that you jump. You need to get up and jump really high, no matter how tall you are to get your hits to go in. Also, a lot of the power from your hit comes from your abs/stomach muscles. So really work on turning your stomach and hips to pick an angle and a direction for the ball every time that you hit. o o

Jamie C Hey, well it definetely sounds like your snapping. I dont play indoor but ive had the same problems before. Alot of it is just keeping the ball in front of you when u swing and hitting it at its highest point. Keeping the ball in front of you when you swing is key to putting the ball down and in the court. Also, how do you line yourself up to hit? alot of players are to the side when they hit the ball. if you line your body up square with the ball, point your chest where you are trying to hit the ball to and this will help with your accuracy and control. Try putting these two things into your swing and concentrate on the top half of the ball and i think you will notice the changes. good luck and lemme know how it goes...lata

im also a volleyball player and these are some way i work on my spike so i can pound who ever is on the other side of the net!

do wall taps, and do a lot of jumping. heel lifts will be good too. stand holding something and slowly bring your heels off the floor and then back down (but don't touch your heels to the ground, go just above the ground) and you can also do butt kicks (jump in the air and kick your rear with both your feet) and tuck jumps (pull your legs up towards your chest. frogs might help too, squat down so your rear is touching your ankles and then jump up as high as you can. Maybe do 4 sets of 15 or 20.

Running hills, sprinting them, is an AWESOME way to strengthen your legs which will improve your lethal leap. Also, circuit training is fantastic. Try doing workouts for 30 seconds at a time, and then immediately switching to another. 1.) Star drill - on ONE leg, hop clockwise at the tips of an imaginary star on the ground 2.) continuous approach jump 3.) continuous block jump 4.) tuck jumps (tuck your knees to your chest, these are quick) 5.) deep knee jumps (crouch all the way down, arms back ready to swing forward, and jump up - repeat this without stopping for the 30 sec.)

If you find these become easier, increase the amount of time you do them for. Think about the muscles you use (your legs!) and make up your own 30 second drills. 1. warm-up and run - 5 min. 2. Calf Stretches- flamingo's, etc. 3. 4 sprints- length of a basketball court 4. Stretch everything 5. Ankle hops 20 sec. 6. 8 block jumps - block, 2 steps right, and block 7. 15 pushups 8. 30 situps/crunches 9. Ankle hops 20 sec. 10. 8 block jumps - block, 2 steps left, and block 11. BREAK! 2 mins. 12. 30 situps/crunches 13. 15 pushups 14. 4 sprints 15. 50 controlled jumps - hit same elevated target (door frame, etc.) 16. Ankle hops 30 sec. 17. cool down stretches. All of this takes about a half hour, as it gets easier to do increase the reps./time. when you are the setter, and you are in the back row but the ball comes too tight for a proper set, try to punch it over, but don't jump, you can't jump in the front row if you are currently a back row player.

Do you have anything that you can hit over? like a swing set, clothes line, or shed. Something that is close or taller than net size could help you. A great thing you could do is that you can practice your control passing and setting to yourself. To work on setting control try going from standing to laying and back to standing all while setting the ball to your self. To perfect your overhand try getting your toss perfect. if your right handed you want your left foot forward and you want your toss to land infront of your right foot and next to your left toes. then just practice hitting hard, hit the ball as hard and give it air so it could clear a net if it needed to, that way you can get you serve almost perfect and then just adjust it for the real court. And this will give you the running you need :). I stand on my front porch and set and pass the ball to my self using my roof... that is only if your parents are nice like mine. I haven't broken anything yet :D. It helps to because you have to guess where the ball will be next. Of course whether you house is one story or two will depend on whether you can do this lol.

Good luck, and be ambitious!! Source(s): volleyball player for 7 years

The most effective hit in volleyball, the spike can be unstoppable when executed properly. A spike occurs when a player near the net jumps high in the air and uses a powerful overhand arm swing to drive the ball over the net and down into the court. An effective spike will even overpower blockers, deflecting off arms and hands for the rally win. Hitting a spike with proper technique can avoid many common difficulties. Jump To hit a strong spike, you need to get enough height on your jump so that youre hitting down on the ball. Many players dont get enough height and end up striking the ball into the net. Taking a four -step approach to the ball can improve your jumping height. For a right-hander, step right foot, left foot, and then take two quick steps to plant both feet and establish a strong base. Bend your knees and swing your arms behind you, then jump and swing your arms high overhead to help generate more lift.

Timing Mistiming your jump is another common spiking mistake. Jump too early and youll be on the way down when you hit the ball, increasing the chances youll hit it into the net. Jump too late and you wont have enough time to get over the net. As a general rule, take your first step when your setter touches the ball. This will get your momentum moving forward and allow you plenty of time to judge the height, speed and location of the set. Arm Swing An improper arm swing can lead to weak or inaccurate spikes. You want to hit the ball with power and control. While approaching the height of your jump, pull back your hitting arm and bend its elbow 90 degrees. Rotate your arm at the shoulder joint and drive the elbow toward the ball, whipping your forearm forward and striking the ball with a relaxed, open hand. You also want to snap your wrist on the follow through to generate as much power as possible. Contact When spiking, you want to contact the top of the ball, creating the necessary top spin to drive the ball straight into the court. Hitting the bottom of the ball or striking it in the middle will cause the ball to float, robbing the spike of its power. Focus on reaching high and hitting through the ball, and keep your eyes on the ball at all times to avoid missed hits.

Key Techniques for Learning to Spike a Volleyball

The following strategies will help you be more successful at spiking. The key to a successful volleyball spike is the contact.

You can train for hours and hours on your volleyball approach. Your approach is going to be useless if you don't develop a good ball contact. The following piking techniques will help you develop a good solid ball contact. 1. Contacting the ball with a vertical arm 2. Contacting the ball using an elbow to wrist arm action 3. Contacting the ball in a way that creates topspin

Vertical Arm
When contacting the ball, you want the arm to be vertical. You've probably heard a coach tell a player, "get your elbow up." This is what they are talking about. Your arm should be vertical from shoulder to wrist when making contact with the ball. A vertical arm is important in many ways... 1. You'll reach higher with a vertical arm. Many players spend hours trying to increase their vertical a couple inches. Often players would actually get a couple inches higher just by getting their arm vertical when making contact. 2. You can spike with more power. If your arm is vertical, you'll actually spike the ball with more power. When the arm is vertical, you'll use the right muscles to spike. Often when the elbow is bent, the wrong muscles are used. For example, often when the arm isn't straight, there is more of an internal rotation of the shoulder joint. This can lead to rotator cuff problems. 3. You'll have more ball control. When your arm is vertical, you'll be reaching higher and have more options for where to hit the ball into the court. It's easier to adjust the hit when you have a vertical arm.

See how the elbow is out and arm isn't vertical?

It's hard to spike down and with power without a vertical arm.

Key Drills for a Vertical Arm

The coach needs to watch each spiker to see if the arm is vertical. If the arm isn't vertical, then perform drills that focus on having a vertical arm when contacting the ball. A lot of times the player won't feel the arm not being vertical. This is where video tape can be important. Film the spiker and show them their arm isn't vertical. You can also show them a video of what a vertical arm looks like so they know what we're trying to do. The best drill for learning to have a vertical arm is the platform spiking drill. Have your players stand on a platform at the net. Each player can self toss and spike the ball down into the court. Gradually work up to where you can set the player on the platform. Remember, the focus here is just on getting the arm vertical.

See how the arm "shoulder to elbow" is vertical?

See how this spiker is in the hammer position ready to go "elbow to wrist" hammering the ball?

Elbow to Wrist
The elbow to wrist action is an important concept. From the first time a volleyball player sets foot onto the court, the focus for spiking the ball should be elbow to wrist. The elbow to wrist action is basically like hammering a nail. When training elbow to wrist, focus on the movement from elbow to wrist. The shoulder to elbow shouldn't move much during this armswing. The movement is all elbow to wrist. Imagine hammering in a nail up overhead. This movement is all elbow to wrist. Also, you want to whip at the ball. Think of the snap of a whip. A whip makes a snapping action. You've likely heard a coach say, "snap your wrist." Think of putting force into the ball and whip it. Reasons elbow to wrist is important... 1. You'll be able to spike the ball down into the court. The spikers that are the best at elbow to wrist are the ones that are the best at spiking overpasses. Spiking an overpass straight down into the court can often look real easy by someone that does the elbow to wrist action really well. If you're good at spiking an overpass, the spike will look effortless and the movement is just elbow to wrist. 2. You'll spike with more power. There's basically two ways to spike a volleyball. One way is to pull the ball. The other way is to go elbow to wrist. Elbow to wrist you can put more force and power into the ball, thus spiking harder. The best spikers will do both, pull the ball and go elbow to wrist. 3. Arm is more likely to stay vertical if you go elbow to wrist. If you learn the technique of elbow to wrist, you'll likely be spiking with a vertical arm every time.

Key Volleyball Drills for Elbow to Wrist

Elbow to wrist should be a focus early on in your playing career. Develop this technique early and you'll avoid changing bad habits later. 1. A wall can be used to develop elbow to wrist. Have each player stand in front of a wall and spike the ball down using an elbow to wrist action. The goal is to spike the ball in a way that it rebounds back up so the player can spike continuously. Remember, the focus is just on elbow to wrist. The players shouldn't be following through on the spikes. Just keep the elbow up the entire time and focus on the elbow to wrist arm action. 2. Partner elbow to wrist drills should be part of practice warm up. 3. Elbow to wrist should be done on a platform. Platform spike drills are very important learning how to contact the ball.

Topspin Jump Serve

Learning to topspin jump serve is a great way to learn good ball contact, creating massive topspin.

Spike with Topspin

The most important part of the spike is making the ball spin.Topspin is probably the most important spiking technique not being taught. Topspin is very important for two main reasons...

1. Accuracy. Watch any high level volleyball and you'll notice that the best spikers will create topspin on the ball every time they spike. This is because there's a correlation between spin and how well the ball is contacted. In lower level volleyball, you'll have players miss hit the ball. The miss hits are because of the poor contacts. 2. Ball control. Generally, the better you are at making the ball do what you want it to (topspin when spiking), then the more ball control you'll have spiking. Don't be a spiker that just jumps up and focuses on hitting the ball hard. You've got to develop consistent topspin in order to be a great spiker.

Key Volleyball Drills for Spiking with Topspin

Spin is a very important concept in spiking. If you understand spin, you'll likely a very good spiker. Players should focus on creating spin every time they spike the ball. Spin = Control If the ball isn't spinning the way you want it to, then you don't have good ball control for spiking. 1. Topspin serving. Serving with topspin can be a very effective way to serve. Also, you have more control when serving with topspin. Learning to serve with topspin can really help you understand how to put spin on the ball. 2. Platform spiking. You can work on all 3 spiking skills. Vertical arm, elbow to wrist, and spiking with topspin can all be focused on when platform spiking. Every time you spike on a platform, be sure to be putting spin on the ball. Very often just by focusing on spin you'll contact the ball correctly.

Several types of hits are allowed when playing volleyball and the rules of the sport govern how these hits are to be executed. Each type of hit has a role in setting up a teams offense and d efense. The most successful volleyball teams are those made up of players able to execute all types of hits with control, consistency and accuracy.

BUMP
Also referred to as a forearm pass, the bump is a key hit to a team's offense. A team is allowed three hits before returning the ball back to the opposing team. The bump typically is the first of the three hits. To execute the bump properly, hold your arms together to form a platform in preparation to contact the ball. Without swinging your arms, use your whole body to move forward, get your arms underneath the ball and "bump," or pass, the ball to the setter.

Fitness Exercises Free Downloads: Incredible training secrets to boost your

performance www.PPOnline.co.uk/PeakPerformance Sponsored Links

SET
The set typically is the second of the three hits, and the player who executes this hit is called the setter. As the setter, you hit the ball to the attacker, or the teammate who is preparing to spike the ball. A well-set ball makes the attacker's job easier. The "set" is an overhead pass executed with your fingers. To perform a set with consistency and accuracy, quickly move to the ball, get underneath it, face your target and get your hands up. Concentrate on contacting the ball above your forehead with your fingers spread.

SPIKE
The spike is an attacking hit, typically the third hit in an offensive play. The player hitting this shot usually is a front-row attacker and is sometimes called the spiker. The goal of the attacker is to hit the ball with power, so that it goes down into the opponent's side of the court and cannot be returned. As a spiker, you must time your jump with the set. Jump close to the net as high as possible, reach straight up and contact the ball with an open hand. Snap your wrist as you hit the ball to give it a sharp and angled downward direction.

DINK
This is a controlled, soft hit used to fake out your opponent. According to the rules, it is allowed only if it is has been cleanly hit. It is illegal to catch or throw the ball when executing this shot. To hit the dink, approach the ball as if you were going to spike it, but instead of hitting with power, at the last second softly push and direct the ball with your fingertips through the hands of the blockers or over their heads.

SERVE
There are basically two types of serves in volleyball. The floater serve has little to no spin and is a slow-paced ball. With this type of serve, the ball tends to move about in space as it crosses over the net. This movement requires receiving players to concentrate on the flight of the ball and can be a hard ball to pass. The topspin serve puts a forward rotation on the ball and is fast-paced. With topspin, the ball quickly dips down into the court as it crosses the net. Receiving players might misjudge this serve, thinking the ball is about to sail out of bounds, but at the last second it drops within bounds.

A volleyball spike, or kill, involves jumping into the air and forcefully hitting the ball down into your opponents court. When your spike is performed correctly, your opponents often cannot return the ball. A good spike in volleyball starts with a proper approach, continues with a quick jump, and ends with the powerful hit.

Step 1
Glance quickly at the court to determine how much distance lies between you and the net. To successfully spike the volleyball, you will need to be very close to the net. Determining the distance will help you determine how many steps you need to take for your spike approach.

Step 2
Keep your eyes on the volleyball and your teammates. Before you spike, one of your teammates will set the ball up for you; this teammate is generally referred to as the setter. It is absolutely necessary to be constantly aware of the setters movements and the volleyballs position.

Step 3
Make your first step toward the net once your setter first touches the ball. If you are a right-hand hitter, your first step should be with your right foot. To successfully build speed, your first step should be powerful.

Step 4
Continue stepping forward as you approach the net. Most spike approaches require between two and four steps toward the net. As you move, your approach should direct you toward both the net and the volleyball. Once you reach your final position, you should not only be at a perfect location to hit the ball, but also close enough to the net to easily spike the ball over it.

Step 5
Separate your feet to shoulder-width apart once you reach your desired spiking location. Keep your body angled about 30 degrees away from the net with the shoulder of your hitting arm farthest away from the net.

Step 6
Push across the ground with both feet to explosively jump into the air. As you jump, swing both arms into the air. Your goal is to jump as high into the air as possible.

Step 7
Pull your hitting arm back and bend the elbow to 90 degrees once your arms are above your head. Keep your hitting hand relaxed, yet open to the ball.

Step 8
Swing your hitting arm and elbow forward quickly, moving your hand toward the ball. Upon making contact with the ball, your hitting arm should be straight and your elbow extended. Make contact with the ball directly above or just in front of your body.

Step 9
Snap your wrist sharply forward as soon as your hand hits the volleyball. When spiking, hit the top of the ball to create a top spin and curve the ball toward the volleyball court.

Step 10
Bend your knees slightly as you descend back toward the ground. As your feet hit the ground, use your leg muscles to absorb the impact and catch your balance. If possible, try to land away from the net to prevent injury.

Spiking a volleyball is all about power and timing. It is difficult to have an effective spike when you are lacking one of those two main elements. Timing is perhaps even more important because you can directly cost your team points by hitting the ball into the net or out of bounds.

Step 1
Time your jump so that you reach the volleyball at its peak. This will give you the best chance to spike the ball for a kill. Volleyball players typically use a two, three or four-step approach when spiking, so practice with each to see which is comfortable and helps you reach the ball at the highest point.

Step 2
Jump from behind the ball, using a broad jump rather than a straight vertical leap. A broad jump will use your momentum to take you toward the net, which will help you reach the ball at a point where you can spike the ball downward.

Step 3
Practice with your setter. You may not have the setter every time, but if you can develop consistency with your setter, you will be able to focus on your mechanics with the understanding that the ball is going to be where you like it. If you are timing your jump for a set that is high and outside and the set is not there, your spike will not be as successful as you hope.

Tips and Warnings Jumping from behind the ball also helps you see the entire flight of the ball off the setter's hands. With a vertical jump, you are simply looking straight up and trying to determine when to make your jump.
