Serve Reception - Main Points
• Knees bent to get the hips low, esp on hard flat serves. Guide the ball by extending your legs (and hence your body) towards the setter.
• Keep your feet moving before the serve. This will relax you and also allow you to react quicker to fast serves.
• Your body should face the setter. This is partly done by having your outside foot in front of your inside foot.
• Move your feet, not your arms to the ball (easier said than done!). You’ll have better control this way. Reach sideways with your arms only as a last resort. In other words, your hands shouldn’t reach outside your body.
• Guide the ball to the setter with your entire body.

Defense - Main Points
• The back row player in front of the opposing hitter should be ready for tips/blocks on our attack line (see diagrams).
• Call “FREE” if you see that there isn’t a spike, and you want people to back up. Anyone paying attention can call it.
• Call “TIP” if you see that there isn’t a spike, and you want people to move up to dig the ball. Front row players (esp blockers) have the best view to call this.

Note 2: This is option B because by default, Middle should be blocking (instead of the Setter). Good to know in case Middle can’t get there in time.

Offense - Main Points
• Everyone (esp. adjacent players) should be within 3 feet of our hitter to pick up blocked hits.
• Call “HERE” if you are ready to hit. This isn’t a request for the ball, that’s for the setter to decide. You can help them make a faster/better decision though.
• Don’t try to spike the ball if your shoulders aren’t square to the net. If you can’t see the net, the line or the block put a FREE ball over using both hands (or at least a standing hit).
