Briefly explain the basics skill in beach volleyball (10 Mark) Basic Skills in Beach Volleyball As in indoor volleyball, there are several basic skills competitive players need to master: serving, passing, setting, attacking, blocking, and digging. Serving Serving is the act of putting the ball into play by striking it with the hand or arm from behind the rear court boundary. The skill is similar on the beach and indoors, with the exception that on the beach the wind often has a significant effect on the trajectory of the ball. .

MSAK 13 Passing The pass is the first of a team's 3 allowed contacts, and is also very similar on the beach and indoors. However, the standards for hand setting (handling the ball overhand using finger action with the hands separated) are stricter on the beach. In practice, this means that players are effectively forbidden from setting the ball on serve receive; similarly, players seldom use a hand setting motion as the first (except on a hard driven attack) or last of the three allowed team contacts.

SED 408 Digging Digging is a similar skill to passing, but the term is not used to describe receiving the serve or a free ball, but rather refers to an attempt to prevent an opponent's attack hit from touching the court.

MSAK 13 If a referee determines that it was not a "clean" contact then they will call a double contact and the point will be given to the other team. After completing the contact, the setter typically turns his attention to the defense and communicates to his partner whether a blocker is up and which area of the court is open. The second contact can

Setting The set is the second team contact, and its purpose is to position the ball for an attack on the third hit. A hand setting motion is often used, but bump setting, an underhand motion in which the ball bounces off the forearms, is also common. When using the hand motion contact for the setting the ball has to come out "clean". This means that the ball cannot spin at all in the air once it leaves the setters hands. 2

also be used to attack the ball. Attacking i. Attacking includes skills such as spiking

hitting the ball hard with one open hand on a downward trajectory from above the top of the net; rollinga similar motion to spiking, but softer and with an arcing trajectory; and

dinkingdirecting the ball very softly low over the net. Attack hits are also frequently made with a poking motion with the made with a poking motion with the knuckles or stiff straight fingers.

SED 408 2. Digging a Soft Shot is to maximize control, soft shots, like hard spikes, should be play with two arms whenever possible. Briefly explain the different techniques for digging soft shots. (10 Mark) Digging a Soft Shot is to maximize control, soft shots, like hard spikes, should be played with two arms whenever possible. Here are different techniques for digging soft shots: 1. Forearm Pass: The most preferred technique, defender with plenty of time to get into position. Shots above the waist, poor position for forearm pass. 2. Double Axe Handle: It is very risky for a defender to play a soft shot above the waist because the referees in beach volleyball call the first contact very tightly on a soft shot or serve. The "double axe handle" is very common in beach volleyball.

MSAK 13 3. Poke (or Knuckler): The knuckles are used to punch the ball up in the air. This emergency defensive technique is used for shots that are high over the defenders head. Emergency technique to maximize the distance covered by the defender. 4. Dive or lunge: Emergency technique to maximize the distance covered by the defender. The style of a dive or lunge is not important in beach volleyball. The soft sand significantly reduces the probably of an injury

MSAK 13

Indoor volleyballs are made of leather and are heavier than indoor volleyball? outdoor balls. Indoor volleyball is a game of power and the (10 Mark) heavier balls move quicker and can be hit harder. 1. Beach Volleyball Beginner Tip #1: Court Sizes Court sizes for indoor and beach volleyball are very different. Indoor courts are 18m x 9m, with a parallel attack line that is 3m from the center line. Back row players must stay behind this line when hitting the ball. Beach courts are smaller--16m x 8m and there is no attack line. A player may hit the ball from anywhere on their side of the net. If you wonder why the beach court is smaller, try a quick lateral sprint through the sand and see how much speed (and breath) you lose. A smaller court ensures that the ball will stay live longer and rallies will be more entertaining. ii. Beach Volleyball Beginner Tip #2: Balls If you want get serious, or at least look serious when you're playing, buy the yellow-and-white-striped Wilson beach volleyball. This is the official ball of the Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP -- aka the pro beach circuit). These balls are not cheap. They typically run $50, but if you're lucky you can find them for $30-40. Any ball that is less than $30, is painted with plumeria flowers or glows with fluorescent coloring, is a knock-off. Beach volleyballs are softer, lighter and a bit bigger than indoor balls. The lighter weight allows them to float more in the air, allowing good players to use the weather to their advantage.

Beach Volleyball Beginner Tip #3: Players Per Side

With indoor volleyball, a match consists of five sets, or games. The first team to reach 25 points wins the set. Three sets wins

Indoor volleyball is played with six per side. Each person has a the match, and the fifth tiebreaker set, if necessary, is only specialized position and there are complex rotations and played to 15 points. Teams switch sides after every game. In switches going on throughout games to ensure that each beach volleyball, a match consists of a series of best-of-three person remains in their designated position. game, with each game played to 21 points. Two sets wins the Beach volleyball is typically played with doubles. There are no specialized positions, only a left and a right side. Most beach players are well-rounded and can hit, dig and block. In both indoor and outdoor volleyball, you must win by two At the higher levels, one player is dedicated to blocking and one to digging, but if you're just learning, grab a side and share the responsibilities. If you want to be taken seriously, don't play with more than two per side. Packing as many friends as possible on the court and blasting Lady Gaga from your boom box on the sideline are dead giveaways that you're just out for fun rather than skill development. iv. Beach Volleyball Beginner Tip #4: Scoring 5 points. Another similarity is both games use rally scoring, meaning you do not have to serve the ball to win the point. The team that wins the rally, wins the point. match, and the third tiebreaker set, if necessary, is also played to 15 points.
