How To Dig In Volleyball
Ready Position
To dig in volleyball or by digging a volleyball up in defense you are keeping an attacked ball by the opposing team off your court floor.
To dig in volleyball means you contact and intercept the ball, while your team is on defense by deflecting it up in the air with your arms held together.
You defend, or dig the ball to keep it off your team's court floor once it crosses into your court after an attack hit by the opposing team, so they don't score a point .
There are offensive ways to contact the ball and there are defensive ways to contact the ball.
The 'pass', the 'set', the 'serve' and the 'hit' describe offensive ways to contact the ball. These are terms that describe ways you contact the ball to set it up for an attack hit into the other team's court.
The "block" and "the dig" are defensive terms used to describe ways to contact the ball.
You 'block' or 'dig a ball' when you need to defend your court from the other team's attack.
