volleyball shirt is a color. The color helps to let
people know what team you are on. All team

Different Types of Moves
Also for the game volleyball, there are different
types of moves (like in any other sport) because if
the ball is too low to just bend down or something
you can hit it. To get into set position ( put your
hands in a diamond shape) you have to put your
two pointer fingers into a diamond shape and just
push the ball up. In volleyball, there is also
something called a bump (when you hit the ball) . To
get into bump position you have to put your left
hand in front of your right hand and press your
thumbs down.
In volleyball you have to use your arms to get the
ball. The first thing you have to use your arms with
is bump because if the ball is too low to set or
spike than you can bend down and bump the ball.
The other thing you need your arms for in
volleyball is to set. Sets (when you push the ball up
with your hands) help, because in volleyball, if the
ball is high above your head you can get into set
position and just push the ball up.
In volleyball, you have to spike to quickly make the
ball hit the other side (just like in lacrosse) of the
net, so the people on the other team cannot get
the ball. In volleyball some people consider a spike
as a very sharply hit one handed set. When the ball
is over your head and you need to get the point,
than you have to spike hardly, so the other team
cannot get the ball (like in any other sport).
