Whether you are a defensive specialist, a libero or a front row player who has to pass the volleyball alot in serve receive you will increase your chances of getting the ball to your intended target, if you maintain a low position while you are in the process of passing.

Once the referee blows their whistle blows, if you're passing the ball, you shouldn't stand up.

You should keep your knees bent in a loaded position and shoulders leaning forward so they are over your knees so that you can move quickly in any direction in order to receive the serve and pass the ball. 

Why does this increase your chances of passing a ball accurately to your target?

Well, first

• if the opposing team's server serves you deep or short its easier for you to move forwards, backwards or laterally, if you remain in a slightly crouched athletic position.

Secondly,

• if you insist on trying to pass the ball while standing erect, the ball will more than likely hit you in the chest or if its a floater serve that you are trying to pass, the ball will be harder to pass.
