The following volleyball specific skills that have been demonstrated, discussed, and practiced during our unit will be tested using the following 5 point rating scale as the instructor observes the student during each task. These skills tests are worth 20 % of your volleyball unit mark.
Skill:
Forearm Passing (Bump) – knees bent, ready position, hands together, elbows in and locked, one foot slightly forward, get under the ball, contact on mid to low forearms, use knees and shoulders to lift and rebound the ball to target, good height and accuracy required
Overhead Volley (set) – knees bent, move under the ball, tilt head back slightly, arms come together from sides (elbows out), hands form a triangle shape over forehead, look through this window at ball, extend arms and knees on contact with ball, use the fleshy part of fingers, rounded, flexible fingers, push ball up and not just forward.
Underhand Serve – feet shoulder width apart, one foot behind the other, knees bent and bent forward at torso, hold ball down and across body in non-dominant hand in line and ahead of opposite knee, keep weight on back foot, straight arm back and swing through with open hand, transfer body weight forward as you contact the ball, keep eyes focussed on the ball through contact
