Chloe Prior unit 2 assignment 2

Volleyball



Coach: As a coach in volleyball you have the responsibilities of  coaching the students in a safe environment. Communicating in a positive way shows your students that have the best ability to play and to teach them everything they need to know for the match. Helping the team members to develop further in volleyball to become the best that they can be. They need to know how to keep themselves fit and what exercises to do outside of the activity so that they do not have a reversibility lap that prevents them from being the fittest they can.

Referee X2: Both volleyball referee's discuss what the second referee needs to signal to the first referee for example if a player has illegally handed the ball, illegal back row and blocks/attacks.

Referee 1: The first referee is the official that stands on the referee stand. The first referee has the authority to rule over any of the other officials as they are the referee who have the power to start the game, (blow the whistle to signal the server to serve the ball.). 
Referee 2: Assists the first referee throughout the whole game. The second referee determines faults throughout the whole game and is in charge of all substitution. 

The Scorer

Keeps track of the scores throughout the whole game.

Line Judges X2: Watches the players through out the whole game to see whether the ball falls in or out of the court. If a server steps on the line during a serve the line judges notify the referees using a flag.

Roof:

Strengths: I had raised my hands before the ball had come my way so I was preparing myself.  

Areas For Improvements:  Needed to jump more higher so that the ball doesn't skim the net. If this was a real game of volleyball the other team would have got a point

Smash:
Strengths: My knees were bent low enough to gain power on my jump when hitting the ball
Areas For Improvements: Next time to jump slightly higher as my knees are bent quite far down






Serve Shot:
Strengths: The ball had gone over the net, and in a real game this would have got my team a point.

Areas For Improvements: Stand more in the court rather than at the side of the net and bend my knees to help me jump higher.

Dig:
Strengths: My arms were in the position that they needed to be to dig the ball before it was even passed to me.

Areas For Improvements: Should have bent my knees more and kept my legs together so that I could have gained more power in digging the ball rather than letting my feet skim the floor.

Set Shot:
Strengths: My hands were raised high above my head.

Areas For Improvements: Need to bend my knees more.

The following videos show good volleyabll technique and show how the skills should be performed. I have summarised some of the key points into bulletpoints


Smash Technique

• Ball set above the net
• Ball set close to the net
• Smasher takes a run up to jump higher
• Smasher jumps above the net
• Smasher hits the ball downwards with the flat of his hand
• Smasher does not touch net on follow through

Dig Technique

• Digger moves feet into position quickly
• Digger uses hands and forearms together to provide a bigger platform for the ball
• Digger uses legs for power and not arms to control the dig
• Digger is trying to get the ball in the air and under control to a team mate for them to then set the ball

Set

• Setter is aiming to set a team mate for a smash
• He should be aiming to set the ball high and reasonably close to the net
• Setter should use his legs to gain height and power
• Setter should make a triangle with his forefingers and thumbs to 'hit' the ball
• Setter should absorb the ball and push upwards with legs and knees to propel the ball into the air
• Setters feet should be facing the area he wishes to set to

Serve

Underarm serve should use the flat of the hand and clear the net
Overarm serve is more difficult but is more offensive
Overarm serve can include a run up but the server must make contact before the back line

Roof (Spike)

• Roofers should anticipate the smash shots
• One or two roofers should jump in tandem with the opposition
• Roofers should jump with both hands close to and above the net to attempt to block the smash

When serving in volleyball servers should take their time practicing before they serve. The basic techniques for volleyball are.. . toss the ball in front of your serving shoulder, keep your elbow high and back, contact the middle of the ball with the middle of your hand and follow through on your hand swing, if there are other ways that you feel more comfortable serving with then do what is best. 

When passing the ball make sure your body is in the centre of your opponent. 

They're are six basic skills in volleyball: 

One,  a serve, an action done with your arm to serve to your components on the other side of the net. 

Two, setting, used to receive a team mates pass but to receive the ball being received to you it must be passed over the head. 

Three, kill or attack, used to put the ball in the opponents court to earn a point of to make a side out. 

Four, block, used to stop the ball from crossing the net from one of the opponents side to make an attack. 

Five, forearm pass, receive the ball from opponents, used in a serve or as a technique. Understanding the rules is important in volleyball because the members will play better and will also have an advantage on your opponent if they don't know what you are up too in the game. 

Lastly number six is floor defence, receiving but the skill is to either dig or sprawl.

The rules of volleyball have changed over may years, as the sport has become popular in the united states as beach volleyball. In the UK we tend to play volleyball indoors, but recently the united stated colleges are considering volleyball to take place outside as it is more appealing to the inspectors and the game and also the players do not need to wear knee supports like they would in the indoor game.

Netball

C: Centre 
WD: Wing defence 
WA: Wing attack 
GK: Goal keeper 
GS: Goal shooter 
GA: Goal attack

Pivot:                                                            

Strengths: One of my strengths in this video, is when the ball is passed to me I stretched my arms out long enough to receive the ball with no hesitation and threw the ball into the net from s chess pass to gain as much power.

Areas For Improvements: When shooting I moved both feet rather than one foot, and if that had been in a netball game it would have been harder to shot because both feet moved out of position.

  



Shot:

Strengths:  My knees and arms were bent before I had released the ball.

Areas For Improvements: When I threw the ball it had hit the back board on the basketball net, and if that had been in a game of netball points would have been lost but we had used the wrong net when filming. In the second attempt the ball did not go through the net but on the third attempt it finally did
