(10 pts each.)
1. Underhand Service
The underhand serve begins with a balanced stance, feet shoulder-
width apart, weight on the back foot. The ball is held at waist height in the
non-dominant hand, fingers spread for control. The dominant hand, fist or
open palm, initiates a straight-arm backswing. Weight shifts forward as the
arm swings, generating power. Contact is made with the bottom of the ball,
using the heel of the hand or fist. A clean, controlled hit is crucial for
accuracy. The arm continues its upward arc in a follow-through motion.
Aiming for a specific target area on the opponent's court is key. Consistent
practice enhances accuracy and power. Mastering this serve builds a strong
foundation for volleyball gameplay.
2. Side-arm service
The sidearm serve starts with a comfortable stance, slightly sideways
to the net, weight balanced. The ball is tossed slightly in front of the body, at
a comfortable height. The throwing arm is brought back, elbow bent, creating a
coiling action. As the arm moves forward, the weight shifts, transferring power to
the serve. The hand contacts the ball, striking it with a firm, controlled motion.
The contact point is usually around shoulder height. A follow-through motion,
extending the arm, ensures a smooth, accurate trajectory. Aiming is crucial;
focus on a specific target area on the opponent's court. Practice is essential to
develop consistency and power. Mastering the sidearm serve enhances a
player's offensive capabilities in volleyball.
3. Overhand service
The overhand serve begins with a balanced stance, feet shoulder-width
apart, weight slightly on the back foot. The ball is tossed slightly in front of
the body, at a comfortable height. The throwing arm is brought back, elbow
bent, creating a coiling action. As the arm swings forward, the weight shifts,
transferring power to the serve. The hand contacts the ball, striking it with a
firm, controlled motion. The contact point is usually above the head, allowing
for maximum power and accuracy. A follow-through motion, extending the
arm, ensures a smooth, accurate trajectory. Aiming is crucial; focus on a
specific target area on the opponent's court. Varying the toss height and
contact point can add unpredictability to the serve. Practice is essential to
develop consistency and power. Mastering the overhand serve adds a
powerful weapon to a player's volleyball arsenal.
Activity #3: Give the importance of the following:
(10 pts each.)
1. Attack
The attack is the most crucial offensive move in volleyball. It's the
primary way to score points by sending the ball over the net and forcing the
opposing team into a defensive position. A successful attack can disrupt the
opponent's rhythm, create scoring opportunities, and shift momentum in
favor of the attacking team. The ability to execute powerful, accurate attacks
is a key skill for any successful volleyball player. Strong attacks can pressure
the opposing team, forcing them to make mistakes and giving the attacking
team a strategic advantage.
2. Defense
Defense is the backbone of any successful volleyball team. It's the
foundation for preventing the opposing team from scoring points and
securing opportunities for your team to launch a counter-attack. Effective
defense involves a combination of anticipation, quick reflexes, and strategic
positioning to block attacks, dig spikes, and retrieve loose balls. A strong
defense can demoralize the opposing team, forcing them to make mistakes
and giving your team a chance to gain control of the game. Defense is
crucial for maintaining momentum and staying in the game, even when your
team is facing a powerful offensive attack. A well-organized and disciplined
defense is essential for winning matches in volleyball.
