Serving

 Play starts with a serve; one player hits the ball directly over the net into the other teams’ court. You can do a couple of different types of serves. There is the under hand serve, which is common with younger children. The overhand serve is slightly more difficult and common in older girls who have more control of the ball.

Passing

 The players pass the ball to each other to get a good set and a strong hit. The forearm pass, also known as the bump pass is most popular.

Setting

A set is the action between a pass and a hit to send the ball over the net. The setter is supposed to hit the second ball.
