How to Pass a Volleyball for Beginners

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

Passing is arguably the most important skill in volleyball, but it's amazing how many people don't do it right! I still work on my passing angles and fundamentals daily, and I've been playing FOREVER!! :)

[@loumaida7658]

Looks like your left foot finishes forward when passing to the right and your right foot finishes forward when passing to the left. In receive receive, which foot would you start forward? Dominant or non dominant?

[@clb1381]

Excelent

[@angi5512]

For me I kept passing on my wrists so it turned red, but this video helped out a lot!

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

That's awesome! Yeah, it's all about the forearms!

Every time the ball losses the direction when I pass with my arms 😕😕

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

Is it hitting both arms or just one? Make sure your thumbs are together so you have a flat surface.

Thanks for sharing! I'll be playing in a mud volleyball tournament with some of my co-workers in a month. We have a variety of skill levels, and I feel like this video will help me understand some of the fundamentals. Have a great day!

[@c1ndelicious]

is it supposed to hurt when the ball makes contact with my arm? i just started today and any advice would be helpful!

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

If you are a beginner, your arms will definitely get red and hurt for a bit because you haven't had a chance to build up your muscles yet. If you continue to practice, you will get used to it and it won't hurt anymore.

[@charitycoates521]

When I first started playing mine hurt in games and I got bruises and they turned red when I would receive the ball but after I got used to it and built up the strength to hit it without the ball hurting me but try to practice as much as you can so it won’t hurt or so you won’t hurt yourself in games or practice but good luck and good job

[@AdrianG_525]

Hi, I know you probably won’t see this because this video is pretty old, but I just want you to know that this video and a few of your other videos have really helped me, a VERY young, VERY beginner volleyball player (who’s only on her school team because there’s a no-cut policy). I’m pretty bad at everything in volleyball, especially passing, but this video showed me some things that I’m doing wrong and how to get better at it. Thank you so much. :D

[@kate1940]

your videos are so helpful. i've been practicing my entire 8th grade year so far to join a team when i get in highschool!

[@vloggingwithgrace3990]

thanks so much, I have volleyball practice on Tuesday and I’mreally nervous. This helped alot

[@English-mu1qw]

Thanks for the vid... I was hoping you could help.. Do you keep your eyes on the ball all the way until it connects with your arms? After you connect with the ball, do you keep your head down like a golf swing, or look to where you want to pass with the chin up?

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

That's a great question. You definitely want to see the ball into your arms, but the most important thing above all is to create the proper angle with your forearms. If your forearms are facing the place where you want to pass the ball, you don't have to watch it after the pass.

[@English-mu1qw]

Thank you very much!

[@patrickt.randolph7043]

Hello Sarah... oh my goodness. We were just going to ask you to post a video on this exact skill!!!! WONDERFUL~!!! This is GREAT. Thank you again so much from the Randolphs~!!!! Your videos are always SO helpful!!!!!

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

I am so glad I read your minds haha. Love your comments on my videos.... they always make me smile.

[@vishnusudheer6049]

Whenever i play the ball touches my bone on either of the hands and it goes sideways. Also i have a huge gap between both hands. Do you have any tios for this.

[@MadisonDavidson-gz2um]

What if the ball keeps hitting one side of my arm like it mostly hits y left arm how can I make it hit in the middle more often?

[@davidlope1255]

How are you suppose to aim, I hit it right but it goes not to the person who threw it?

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

Your pass will go in the direction that your forearms are facing (but you have to make sure it hits both arms!). At the moment your arms contact the ball, it is very important to make sure your forearms are directed exactly where you want the ball to go.

[@kasparsoss6216]

[@hadthisaccforyearssorryfor6274]

Why it hurt tho- I’m sure I’m doing it right😂

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

If you haven't passed very often, your arms will be very red, and they will probably hurt. You just have to get used to it :)

[@madametwig528]

I never knew you were supposed to pass the ball with your forearms! Schools seriously need to tell and teach that to their students! No wonder my hands would insanely hurt after just one hit, even if it was soft!

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

That is a VERY important tip!!

[@leamr4915]

Question, so when I pass/bump the ball should it hit my forearm or my wrist? Because I've been practicing passing by my self so I'm trying to make my passes straight so I can set them too but they keep going to the side

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

You want to make sure the ball is hitting your forearms because that surface is flat. The ball needs to hit both arms as well... if it hits only one arm, that will usually make the ball go sideways.

[@leamr4915]

@@SarahPavanVolleyball thank you!

[@Shade_Vrc]

The sad life when no one will pass to you and you have no friends in your area haha, the first tip is definitely helpful although I cant keep it from going sideways 😂😅

HEY HEY HEY (*´∇`)ﾉ Lol i am glad to see someone else here how came because of haikyuu😭

[@KNoobGamerz]

The ball goes behind me when I pass. How to correct this?

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

This probably has to do with your posture or your arm position. Make sure you are leaning forward, and that your forearms finish forward as well. If your forearms are pointing straight up or if you are swinging them up, the ball will go backwards.

[@goldie1994]

[@Backinmywhey]

I can't get my forearms seemless together without any gap, is this okay? My passes go everywhere and I'm trying to practice with this video.

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

That's ok. Your forearms don't have to touch. The important thing is that the platform that your forearms create is flat and is pointing in the direction where you want the ball to go.

[@jayden7736]

What if you have a lot of power? Whenever I try to receive I'm either not swinging or barely swinging my arms yet there is still a lot of power after it makes contact? I don't really think I'm tensing my muscles much either. Is there any way for me to help control it?

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

You could try to absorb the pass a little bit by cushioning the ball and bringing your arms back slightly on contact. That might help!

Hii I don't know if you'll reply but the hands need to be in the direction where you want to pass it or the body needs to be moved that way?

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

Your forearms need to face the direction you want the ball to go. Even if your arms are outside the mid-line of your body, that is ok. I hope that clears things up!

Hello I was doing these drills and realized that I hold my platform crooked without any intention to do so... Do you have any ideas on how I could hold my platform better??

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

Hmmmm.... crooked how? Without seeing you, my two suggestions are 1) lock your elbows to make sure your arms don't bend on contact and 2) are you thumbs together on crossed?

[@angelinaalarcon9208]

My left thumb goes into my right hand platform if that makes any sense

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

@@angelinaalarcon9208 yeah you definitely don't want to hold your thumb. You want to hold your 4 fingers in your right hand but if you hold your thumb then your arms will definitely be crooked.
