The second contact is usually a bump or a dig depending on how advanced the players are.
These have to be "controlled" contacts meaning the set goes right to the partner, ideally without making the partner move.
These have to be "controlled" contacts meaning the set goes right to the partner, ideally without making the partner move.
The pass (the bump) goes right back to the first partner who just set the ball, ideally targeting the ball to fall right on the forehead of the partner so they dont have to move or chase the ball.
You want to do your controlled spike hit keeping your elbow high but controlling the ball to your partner instead of hitting the ball straight down the way you would when you are hitting over the net.
This is how you control the ball keeping it in play between the two of you.
Here are a few more tips for you to use during your bump set spike volleyball practice drills.
Practice keeping your elbow high during your pepper hitting armswing.
Imagine you have to clear the height of a net even when you pepper.
Contact the ball at its highest point, always reaching and extending your elbow high-while controlling the ball speed to your partner. Your body remembers every movement you make especially while doing slow controlled movements. Hitting the ball low (by your ear) in pepper will mean there’s a good chance you’ll hit the ball low in hitting warmups and then continue to hit the ball low in a game.
Set goals with your pepper partner.
Determine how many "pass-set-hit" combinations or in this case "bump-set-spike" volleyball contacts you both can do in a row while
controlling the ball
without either partner taking more than one step in any direction
Passing the ball with your legs, setting the ball high giving your partner time to swing and reach high to hit back at you... all these volleyball peppertechniquesshould be practiced in your pepper warmup so that at game time-- you've already performed these skills so many times that that your muscle memory is automatic and you begin to perform these skills the same way you need to perform them in competition.
