Bumping a Volleyball: The bump is the most basic and most essential skill in volleyball. The bump is used to hit a ball that is below the head, and is typically used as the first touch to receive a serve or return. If you're going to master volleyball, you'll need to master the bump. Here's how.
Get in Position. Your legs should be about a shoulder width apart; lean forward a bit. Make sure that you don't hit the ball with only one hand, because this action can cause a foul. Move to the ball so that it will come down squarely in front of you. You can bump the ball backwards, of course, but you still want to make sure that you make contact with the ball right in front of you (you may need to turn away from the net). If you don't need the ball to go back, swing your arms or bring them above your shoulders. If you DO need it to go back, carefully swing your arms backward, careful not to go crazy. Prepare your arms by straightening them. Make your forearms into a flat "platform" by holding your arms out straight in front of you, but down a little and also arch your shoulders. Clasp your hands in front of you, with your thumbs together, side-by-side. Don't lace your fingers together, for this will make you loose control of the ball. You can either make a fist with one hand and wrap the other around it, or you can bend one thumb down to its palm, and rest it

on the other hand. Remember to keep your elbows locked and your knees bent. Pass the ball. Keep your eye on the ball. Follow the trajectory of the ball as it comes down and even as you hit it. Make contact with the ball at about waistlevel. When the ball is right above your forearms, straighten your legs so that your arms move up to meet it. Try to contact the ball on your forearms (above the hand but below the elbow joint.). At the same time, move your arms forward and up slightly (BUT DON'T SWING YOUR ARMS!). Keep in mind that the majority of the force should come from your legs. Aim the ball. Dip or twist your shoulder to aim the ball. You can't really aim with your forearms, because you need to keep them flat in order to provide a good platform for the ball. Instead move from the shoulders so that both arms stay together and move as one unit. Ideally, you can square up with the ball (point your feet at the target) so you can just hit it straight forward. Use your legs. Using your knees, and a little power from your arms, push through the ball. It is helpful, when learning to bump, if you place you one hand in a fist facing up and wrap your other hand around it soon this will become habit this way of passing has more control. Watch the ball with your eyes, not your whole body, try and keep your chin down, because it gives you more control of the ball. Some coaches will even have you put the collar of your shirt in your mouth to keep your chin down.

Setting a Volleyball: Every good spike is backed by a good set. This is an easy move to learn, but a difficult one to master. This move can also be used when the ball is over your shoulders, therefore too high to bump. The set is called an overhead pass when not assisting a spike. Make sure you hit the ball with your finger tips (it is easier to control the ball that way, and you should make sure that the ball is high enough so the spiker can get the ball over the net.

Extend your arms up over your head. Your thumbs should be about 2 to 4 inches above your forehead. Spread your fingers apart as if someone were going to place the volleyball right into your hands. Your elbows should not be facing out but pulled in about even with your shoulders. Position your hands so that you can see them above your forehead and finish with ball shaped hands. Spread your feet about shoulder width apart. For good technique, you need to have good footwork. The right foot should always be forward when you set. This helps you to reduce errors. Bend your knees and shift your weight to the balls of your feet so that when the ball comes to you, you can quickly bounce up and get it. Your release is key in the tempo of the set. Slow release means slow tempo and fast means a quicker tempo. When you are ready to set, center yourself under the ball, and push upwards, straightening your arms and legs as you go. If setting backwards apply the same rules except push the ball backwards. This is done with both wrists. Throw your thumbs back. Extend your hand forward in the direction that you want the ball to go. Pull back. When you set the ball get directly under it, so that it is coming right toward your forehead. Put your hands in the shape of a triangle right above your forehead (this is why a set is sometimes called a "forehead pass" ) and let the ball touch as much of your fingers as possible (all of your fingers should be touching the ball) without touching your palms. Push straight up-at the end of your set your arms should be straight and your set should be as high as possible, giving your teammates as much time as possible to get under the ball. When you bend your knees, make sure you rise up and not jump (only for more advance setters, not beginners.
