As a front row attacker or hitter you need to be able to change your volleyball ball contact on the ball so you aren't always hitting the ball hard but you vary your volleyball ball contact by slowing up the ball so it drops right behind the block or to the middle of the court.

You can improve your offensive game by spending your time wisely doing repetitions of different volleyball hit options that will prepare you for many of the different blocking or defense strategies the opposing team will use to try and stop you in a game.
