The Dig In Volleyball 8 Steps On How To Get A Ball Up When On Defense
Learn the 8 technical aspects of how to dig in volleyball in the backcourt while your team is on defense so you can dig hard hitters on opposing teams.
In the back row you should be in an athletic stance with knees slightly bent, leaning slightly forward so your shoulders are in front of your knees with hands and arms extended in front of you 3-4 inches in front of your knees
Just before you have to dig in ball, keep your hands apart so you can run, shuffle step or move quickly to the ball once you know where the ball is going to possibly land
During the dig keep thumbs pointed to the floor, which keeps your arms straight and creates a nice flat platform which you use to dig the ball up into the air
Before contacting the ball your hips have to be below the level of the oncoming ball. This is what helps lift the ball up into the air and increases the chances of it staying on your side.
Before contacting the ball drop your hips below the oncoming ball. This lifts the ball in the air and keeps it in the air and on your side. (Stephen F Austin)
The 'pass', the 'set', the 'serve' and the 'hit' describe offensive ways to contact the ball. These are terms that describe ways you contactthe ball to set it up for an attack hit into the other team's court.
