A
DELICATE TOUCH; COMMUNICATION
25
The outside hitter is also known as the ___ and is the ___ in the offensive strategy. To be a successful outsider hitter, you must be able to jump high, be quick on your feet, and be ready to adapt to different situations. The volleyball won’t always be placed where the outsider hitter would like, so they need to be prepared for hits from a variety of places.
LEFT SIDE HITTER; LEAD ATTACKER;
26
___ Also known as the right-side hitter, these players need to be a perfect balance of both offense and defense. They will also get many opportunities to hit the volleyball, so similar to the outside hitter, jumping ability is vital. The main difference that sets the opposite hitter apart is their defensive responsibility. Being able to receive the serve from the opposing team is just one of the many requirements of this specialized position.
OPPOSITE HITTER
27
The ____ , sometimes known as the middle hitter, is the tallest player on the volleyball team. Their main role for the team is being the first line of defense against the opposing team’s hits. The___ needs to read the other team’s attackers to quickly raise his or her arms above the net in a blocking attempt.

SERVE; SERVER
30
Types of Serve
Underhand Serve
Overhand Serve
Topspin Serve
Jump Serve
Floater
31
This serve is used mainly in recreational volleyball. It does not require the level of skill or coordination that the other types of serves do. With one foot stepped back, you hold the ball in your opposite hand. Then with your other hand fisted, shift your weight forward and hit the ball just below the center (or equator) of the ball.
UNDERHAND SERVE
32
you start with your dominant-side foot back and the ball held extended in your non-dominant hand. Then you toss the ball up in front of you hitting hand. How you hit it depends on the type of overhand serve you want to create. The biggest difference between the types of overhand serves is the server's body position, where contact is made on the ball, and the follow-through.
OVERHAND SERVE
33
more advanced and utilizes an even higher toss that should be several feet in front of the server. You uses more of an attack approach, jumping and striking the ball with the heel of your hand while you're in the air. With this serve, your wrist remains stiff, then you hold (stop) your palm in position facing the target.
JUMP SERVE
34
a serve that does not spin. It is called a __ because it moves in unpredictable ways, making it difficult to pass. A float serve catches the air and can move unexpectedly to the right or the left or it can drop suddenly.
To hit a floater, you make contact in front of your body with your hand hitting behind the middle of the ball. The arm follows through but only partway. By hitting directly behind the ball, you ensure there's no spin.
FLOAT SERVE OR FLOATER

means a player uses their forearms to pass the ball to a teammate or to hit the ball back over the net to the other team.
BUMP OR UNDERHAND SET
