| Hitting
is one of the most exciting parts of volleyball. Hitting is also known
as spiking or attacking. It is usually the 3rd contact. To hit most
people take an "approach", jump and meet and hit the ball in kid air
over the net to the other teams side. There are many different hits.
Such as a one ball, four ball, pike, and thirty- two. If a hitter
strikes the ball to the other side and pounds it off the floor, it is
known as a kill. Most hitters are big, strong, and can jump high so they
can hit the ball straight down.

| Blocking is the main part of a defense. It is because if the blocker's block the section they are assigned then they can take a part of the court away from the other team's hitter. Usually if it is an outside hit then outside blocker blocks line and the middle blocker blocks cross- court. In the middle, if it is possible, triple blocks are the best, but usually it is to difficult so most teams leave the blocker one on one with the opposing hitter. Most teams form their defenses around blockers. Most blockers are tall, can jump high, and have big arms. and hands. |
