Volleyball Skills Checklist


Serving Achieved Needs Work
LIFT - palm flat and facing up, ball stays on hand until
contact
Step – small, natural step with opposite foot (right-handers:
step with left) taken as arm begins backward motion
Hand Contact - contact with closed fist under ball
Arm Motion - swift, contact ball below waist with closed fist
Weight Transfer - transfer weight from back foot to front
foot, through the ball as you make contact
CUES- "present, step, serve"
Forearm Passing
Thumbs Aligned - positioned side-by-side
Hand Clasp - whatever feels natural, so long as thumbs are
aligned
Platform - ball should be contacted on forearms, above the
wrists and below the elbows
Base - feet at least shoulder width or a bit wider. bend at
knees, not at waist to keep body and platform beneath the
ball
Shuffle to ball - in moving to where the ball is, shuffle your
feet, keeping knees bent and hips/head in a straight, vertical
line
Step to target - once in position, step with whatever foot feels
most comfortable in direction of target
Arm Motion - arms should not move higher than shoulders,
do not swing arms. use very little arm motion - DIRECT the
ball to your target
General body position - relaxed shoulders, knees bent, stay
down and do not stand up as you pass
Relax/Tempo - this is not a fast skill, should be done in a
relaxed, controlled fashion... don’t “stab” at ball, kind of
“shovel” it to target

Volleyball Skills Checklist
Setting Achieved Needs Work
Hand position on ball - form a triangle on ball with thumbs
and index fingers, then spread apart so that hands wrap
around sides of ball
Ball contact - hands should be up at forehead when
contacting ball , ALWAYS set from near the forehead
Shoulders square w/target – shoulders/hips should always
face the left-front target (front or backsets)
Foot position- you should set off of your right foot and
follow thru onto your left foot
Setter net position - between the middle front and right front
hitters, get as close to the net as you can without touching it
Follow Through - extend out from feet all the way through
hands, you should hold your hands/arms out extended
Overhand Passing
Hand Position - fingers spread and firm, hands in front of
face.
Contact Target - contact with ball should be made in front of
face
Foot Position - feet and body must be behind the ball, feet
(base) should be comfortable and solid.
Making Contact - hands & fingers should remain firm and
strong on contact, NOT soft like when you set a hitter.
Follow Through - as contact is made, push the ball to your
target by extending your arms out from your face.
Aggressive - this is an aggressive skill, you have to go to the
ball with strong hands and push the ball away from you
