The Dig and Dive Volleyball Digging Using The Sprawl And The Extension
The "sprawl" and the "extension" are two advanced dig and dive volleyball skills where you take one step while lowering your body to the floor before digging.
The sprawl is a quick way to drop to the ground faster than an oncoming ball in a way to get your defensive platform arms underneath the ball to deflect it back up in the air before the ball hits the floor.
Use the sprawl when you don't have time to take a step to a ball before digging it because its dropping very quickly to the floor.
