FUNDAMENTAL POSITIONS

To achieve maximum performance when applying technical gestures, it is essential to start from basic positions that will allow us to carry out the gesture correctly.

THE MIDDLE FUNDAMENTAL POSITION: It is usually the most used. Its characteristics can be summarized in:

* Feet slightly apart at shoulder width and, depending on the position in the field, we will have one foot ahead of the other.

* The legs flexed, with the weight of the body distributed between them.

* Arms, relaxed, but in tension.

* The heel of the back leg, raised.

We can also distinguish the high and low positions, which are classified by the different degree of flexion of the legs.

DISPLACEMENTS

The displacements used are usually short but fast. A good displacement will allow us the subsequent execution of any technical gesture or even anticipate the action of opposites. Among the various forms of displacement, we have:

* Simple step: it is the normal step, being able to be used forward, back and laterally.

* Step added: This way of moving allows us to maintain the fundamental position without changing it. It begins with the foot of the direction to which we will go and the other foot is approaching maintaining the fundamental position.

* Double pitch: Used over long distances. It starts with a back foot, to go forward or backwards if it is to go back.

* The jump.

* The race: Used especially for large distances.

FINGER RIDE

The finger pass is one of the basic elements of volleyball.

Among the various forms of finger pass we can distinguish the forward or front pass, the pass back, the side pass and the suspension pass.

FRONT PASS:

To make this pass is part of the fundamental position. We will place the hands symmetrically at the height of the forehead, leaving the palms facing upwards and inwards. The fingers will be semi-flexed and at shoulder height.

To perform the movement, we will progressively extend the whole body (spring movement). The beating should be directed with the fingers and the palm of the hand.

GO BACK:

It differs with the front pass in the form of being placed before the ball. The ball should be directed backwards.

SIDE PASE: The ball is flanked laterally ...

PASS IN SUSPENSION:

 This pass is made in the air, after having made a jump. The player must touch the ball during the ascent or at the time of maximum height or suspension, but never during the descent of the jump. In this pass, the arms are more stretched at the moment of the blow.

THE PLACER:

The figure of this player is of vital importance in volleyball, he is the distributor of the game. You must master the game perfectly and have a broad vision.

PASS OF DREAMS

It is used to receive the ball and direct it to the place of the setter. This pass has its meaning, fundamentally, before a service or before a shot of the opposing team.

EXECUTION:

The arms should be stretched and firm, hugging one hand to the other. The forearms should be attached to the elbows. In addition, the arms are inclined forward at the time of the blow, which allows the ball to move forward. At the time of the blow the spring will be used.

THE SERVICE

The service or serve is the technical way to put the ball into play. It should be considered as the first form of attack. Attacks must have the following qualities: positioning, safety and power. The puncher (1) must try to place the ball in the opposite field (safe service), in those weaker areas of the opposing team, the furthest from the finisher and, if there was only one opposing setter, towards the latter so that in the second Action could not place.

Depending on the different forms of serve, more emphasis will be placed on one quality over another. Between the different forms of service we can distinguish two large groups: looting from below and looting from above.

AUCTION

It is the most complex element of volleyball, since both blow technical problems and tactical problems must be solved in the air. It can be compared to shooting in football or pitching in basketball. In the auction all the offensive action of the team concentrates, being his objective to obtain the much or to recover the ball.

The shot has to be powerful and directed to the area that creates the most problems to the opposing team. In this action we can distinguish four phases: race, flight, hit and fall.

BLOCKING

It makes it easier for other players to stand in the field and place the defense more timely. From 1964 it was allowed that in the action of the blockade the arms could be crossed over the net, thus creating an offensive block (the blockade, in the beginning, is a considered element of defense).

The classification of the block is based on the number of players that form: individual, double and triple block. The most during a match is the double block.

FALLS AND PLATES

The fall is a technical element that allows us to reach the ball when the player can no longer

Achieve it through travel.

Try to drop the body, making the blow during the fall. At the time of the fall, the

Player can swing on the back and recover the position or turn on the back.

TACTICAL APPLICATIONS

The different reception types used can be set up with 2 or 3 players. It is in the interest of the installer not to receive.

The attacks can be fast, own of not very high players, and slow, with very high passes and powerful shots.

Defensive mind is used a block, double or triple, covering the players other vulnerable areas. Defensive systems are called by the number of players per line: 3-1-2,3-2-1 ...
