Your Free Ball Bump Pass in Volleyball Why Would You Speed It Up?

By lowering your bump pass in volleyball to a height of ten to 12 feet above the net, you can deliver a ball right to your setter's hands at alot faster pace.

Dear Volleyball Mom, Did you know your player can Upgrade their volleyball skills with an expert college volleyball prep coach Las Vegas based April Chapple (that's me!) creator of the Breakfast Club for College Players.

A passer can speed up their bump pass in volleyball during serve receive or in transition in order to help change the pace of the game.

Just like you can slow down the rhythm of the game, the opposite is true as well.

Does your team need to speed up the pace of the game?

By lowering your bump pass in volleyball to a height of ten to 12 feet above the net, you can deliver a well-targeted ball right to your setter's hands at alot faster pace.

From the passer's platform to the setter's hands the speed of the pass can help determine how fast a team run's an offensive play.

The setter is not the only player who can control the rhythm of the game. You, as a passer can too.

You should practice this with your team's free ball attack and transition drill practices.

In practice, with free balls you can purposefully speed up your free ball bump pass in volleyball or even your down ball passes, as long as you pass the ball from a low balanced position without sacrificing accuracy, precision and control in order to run a faster paced attack.

You can control the speed of your team's free ball or down ball counterattack by raising the height of your pass so that the ball has a much higher arc.

You can control the speed of your team's free ball or down ball counterattack by raising the height of your bump pass in volleyball so that the ball has a much higher arc and takes more time to get to your setter's hands.

Your girls team can run pre-determined offensive plays called by the setter when she sees an easy high free or down ball coming over into your court.

But remember, the play will work only if your setter gets the ball passed right to her.

Accuracy is the key.

Depending on your coach and your team's free ball passing ability, it may be best for your setter to be the one to call the free ball play.

If the setter calls the play when she sees the easy free ball coming over to your court, then your passers, your libero and/or your defensive specialists in the back row will all know that she expects to be in position to set the ball for the fast counterattack.

Also, the middle blockers will be ready to speed up their spike approach in order to make this faster paced free ball counterattack play effective.

Serving slang is not just about individual techniques; it also relates to overall game strategy. A coach might instruct a player to serve a "short serve" or a "deep serve" to target specific areas of the opponent's court or exploit weaknesses in their serve receive formation.

Ari, my private training client and I are working specifically on serving on jump float cross court serves ...short to Zone 2

There's so much we work on to get to this point where she can contact the ball with

the same toss height and same toss location
the same armswing speed
the same timing for when her serving hand contacts the ball
the middle of the hand contacting the middle of the ball every single time
getting use to watching her serving hand contact the ball at the highest point of her jump ...before she starts to land
and finally contacting the ball in the precise spot on the ball so it goes where the coach wants the player to put it so in this case ..a short serve in the farthest short right corner on the court also called Zone 2.
