A comprehensive sport skill spanning underhand passing, overhand setting, serving, and spiking fundamentals through tactical game management, team leadership, coaching, and contributions that advance the sport.
Volleyball is a team sport where two teams send the ball over a net without letting it touch the floor. Growth progresses from basic passes (underhand/overhand) and serves through position-specific skills, set tactics, competitive league experience, player development and coaching, to redefining how volleyball is played and taught. The seven levels are designed around the FIVB Coaching Course level system and the FIVB Coaches Manual skill development model.
You're just getting started with volleyball. You can return a chest-height ball to a partner with an underhand pass (bump), and you can form the basic hand shape for an overhand toss (setting). You can send the ball over the net with an underhand serve and understand the six-player rotation order. Reactions are still slow when the ball comes your way, and you rely on a coach or experienced teammate for guidance.
