Hits

Bump, Set, Spike; Three beautiful words in volleyball. Just like the serves, there are three main hits in volleyball. However unlike serves a mastery of all three of these hits are necessary to be a complete volleyball player.

Bump

The solid hit of defense. Best used as your first of the three hits. Great for slowing, and controlling a fast moving ball, like a incoming spike or jump serve.

Set

This hit is not a power hit, this move is all about controlling the ball and 'set' ing up the ball for the spike.

Spike

This is the move that volleyball movies are made of. The coolest thing in volleyball is to slam the ball into the faces of your opponents. Great to use after being 'set' up by a team mate.
