When do volleyball violations for passing occur?


Volleyball violations in passing happen often when a team is on serve receive and they are facing an opposing team with a tough server. 

The server will do everything to make it difficult for you or one your team's passer's to pass the ball perfectly up to your setter. 


Volleyball violations happen because the server will do everything to make it difficult for you or one your passer's to pass the ball perfectly up to your setter.
