Shot
My shot in netball was average even though I had made a few mistakes of the ball hitting the backboard. This is one of my weaknesses of shooting the ball into the net and in this circumstance if it was a real life game as a player I may have lost points for my team, so it takes a lot of practise in getting the ball into the net nicely with no hesitation. My strengths for my shot was that in the last attempt to get the ball into the hop I had bent my legs to bent my arms before I had released the ball.

Pivot 
My strengths for my shot was that, when I received the ball I made sure that my arms were stretched out long enough to catch the ball and to then chess pass the ball into the net with no hesitation and this helped me gain power getting the ball into the net. My areas for improvements is that when I was shooting he ball I had moved both of my feet when I should have only moved one.

In a professional netball game an average shot in shooting is to prepare yourself, either in a short amount of time or a time when it is right to shot. In doing so you need to be ready and making sure that you are in the ‘D’ (semi circle) and positioning your body towards the net aiming for the best shoot. Then holding the ball with one hand and with the other hand supporting the ball with both arms reached out above your head with arms slightly bent to gain the power from your arms to shot. Keeping all eyes on the ball, bend your knees and elbows as your straighten up when you release the ball and push upwards towards the net releasing the ball.
To do a poor shot in netball the player has to be a player who is not in the zone and is not ready to think on the spot in time to shot. This mistake can cause a lot of issues in he game if many members are like this. In terms on a poor shot in netball, the player may not have their legs and arms bent when releasing the ball and does not have focus on the ball when aiming for the net and one mistake they could make is not being in the semi circle where they can shot if they have the chance.

An average pivot in netball is important to make sure that the players foot remain in the position that they caught the ball in and making sure that one foot only turns 90 degrees and shots. A poor pivot is when the player/s turn with both feet instead of one and this can affect the aim of shooting for the player.

Roof
My strengths for this technique is that I had raised my hands before the ball had even came my way, but my weakness in this was that I did not jump high enough as the ball had slightly skimmed the net and in a real game I would have lost points and the other team would have got my point.

Smash
My strengths for my smash was that my knees were bent low enough when I caught the ball and this helped me gain more power when jumping to hit the ball. To improve my smash next time I need to jump much more higher as my knees were bent quite low so jumping slightly more higher would help.

Serve Shot
A strength in this technique is that the ball had gone over the net but to improve the serve shot and making sure that the ball goes higher over the net is to stand more in the court and a little bit further away from the net so that I can make sure that I bend my knees and jump higher to get the ball more over in the other court.

Dig
My strengths is that I had my arms in the position that they needed to be to dig the ball and this lets my team member know that I am ready to receive the ball.
Areas for improvement is I should have bent my knees more and kept my legs together again to gain more power in digging the ball.

Set Shot
To improve I would need to bend my knees more, but my strengths in this technique is that I had my hands raised high above my head.

An average roof in volleyball is to make sure that the player is within the court and is fairly close to the net. The player needs to make sure that they bend their knees and have their hands at the ready so when the ball does come in their court they are ready to roof it over the net to the other players court.
A poor roof in volleyball is when they player does not bend their knees at all and just hits the ball into the other members of the court, and this could potentially lose points.
An average smash in volleyball is bending your knees and arms when receiving the ball. A poor smash would be the mistake of not bending your arms and knees to gain full power on the ball.
To do an average serve shot a player needs to have good communication with their players around the court to pass to each other and to then serve the ball over into the next court. A poor serve shot in volleyball is when there is no communication between the team members and when there is only one member who is constantly serving the ball into the next court. To do an average dig in volleyball the players need to make sure that their arms and hands are in front of them and that their hands are place out in front of them on top to dig the ball and when they dig the ball their knees should be bent. A poor dig in volleyball is when the players do not have their hands in the correct position and then that limits them to do a good dig. A good set shot in volleyball is being ready for the ball and to make sure that you bend your knees. A poor set shot is again not bending you knees to hit the ball over your head.

How can I improve?

Volleyball:

The execution of all of the basic shots need to be improved particluarly in competitive situations. I can often perform the skills reasonably well in isolation but tend to lose a bit of quality when under pressure. I need to perfect the skills in isolation and then gradually introduce some kind of competitive element to each practice. This could take the form of time limits or adding an opponent to the drill.

Basic Set Drill:



Basic Dig Drill:

My cardio fitness is good but my agility could be better. This is a key part of volleyball as it is essential to change direction on the court to reach the ball. I could improve this area of fitness by completing a series of interval tarining sessions. I must ensure that these series of sprints are not just in straight lines though as this would only improve speed. I should also use agility ladders which will also help quicken my feet and hopefully improve my agility in games.

Netball:

My shooting is quite poor. Whilst this is not an essential part of my game as I do not need to shoot from the position I play (WA) I think that it is something I'd like to improve. I should ensure that competitive practice happens on a regulation height post. I should also add a competitive element to my shooting drills. For instance, I can set goals such as, take a break after 20 goals or only take a break once I have score 5 on the trot. I could also add an opponent to the shooting drill to make the practise more like what I would have to face in an actual match.

In terms of fitness, I could improve my speed over the court. This can be done using interval training. I could set up a series of 20m sprints and take a break between each sprint.

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

Netball

Umpire: Blow a whistle at the start of the game and for indicating their decisions and playing regulations. They should check the court and goal posts. The Umpire should also check the players as well.

Scorers: There shall be two scorers, scorer one shall be the official scorer and record each goal scored from each team,

Timekeepers: Two timekeepers who commence the time when the game is started by the umpires whistle. The timekeepers have a big role in being an official of netball they have to signal the end of each quarter or half to the Umpire. Also notify the Umpires when there are thirty seconds and ten seconds remaining prior to the start of the game, and the end of an interval or a stoppage. During any subsequent stoppage to the game due to Injury or Illness, the Timekeepers are only required to notify the Umpires when there is ten seconds remaining prior to the end of this stoppage.

Team Officials: During an interval a team official may appeal to the Umpires for extra time to deal with any extraordinary circumstance. Team Officials and bench players may coach while the play is in progress provided that they remain seated or stand at their team bench

Captains: The Captains have the right to approach an Umpire during an interval or after the game for clarification of any rule. The Captains shall toss for choice of goal end or first Centre Pass and notify the Umpires and the Scorers of the result.

The overall view of the game.

Centre passes are taken alternately by the Centre after a goal has been scored. All players must start in the goal thirds except the two Centres. The Centre with the ball starts with either one or both feet in the Centre Circle (if on one foot then the other must not have contact with the ground outside the Centre Circle) and must obey the footwork rule after the whistle has been blown. The opposite Centre stands anywhere within the Centre Third and is free to move. The Centre pass must be caught or touched by a player in or landing in or jumping from a stance in the Centre third. A player who has caught or the ball shall play it or shoot for goal within three seconds

Basic rules

• Footwork: You can take a step in any direction with one foot and pivot on the other.
• Offside rule: A player with or without the ball cannot move into an area of the court that is not designated for their position. 
• Obstruction: When trying to intercept or defend the ball you must be at least 3ft away from the layer with the ball.
• Contact: Move into the path of a opponent who is in a particular landing space or to be positioned so close to an opponent that they can not move
• Shooting: The ball must be thrown in from the place where the ball left the court. 

Scoring Systems:
One team starts with the center pass, which should lead to a goal, unless it is intercepted by the other team,. when one team scores it goes back to the center, and to the other team who will then try and get to their defender and score. The center pass alternates from team to team each time. If one side scored, it would go to center pass and it would be the oppositions ball.

Coaching Points/Tactics:

Shooting: Ball is held above the head, arms are extended with the shooting arm reasonably straight and close to the ear

Pivot: If you are in an awkward position to shot then pivoting is the best tactic to do at this particular time. Making sure that you are balanced on both legs decide what direction you want to move in and move one off your legs in that direction. Then throw the ball after you have done your pivot. 

Chest pass: Stand front on with the ball in two hands at chest height and elbows down, spread fingers around the ball with thumbs behind, step forward with weight transferred onto front foot as

you push the ball with wrist and fingers.

Change in rules over the years:
Team Officials are classed as Coach, Manager, Captain and 2 Primary Care Personnel.

Captains have the right of appeal to an umpire if a team official has not been notified by the opposing team of any substitutions or team changes.

Applying the Rules:

1. Team A's centre makes a fantastic pass to the GA but follows through into the shooting D and obstructs the oppostion's GK.

A free pass should be awarded to TEAM B for offisde. The Centre is not allowed in the Shooting D

2. Team A's GS is in a good position to shoot at goal. The GD for Team B hurries to block the shot and in doing so knocks the GS just as she releases the ball. The ball goes in the net.

Had the GS not scored, the umpire should call back play and allow the GS to shoot (or pass) again with the offending GD standing behind or to one side of the GS. As the shot was successful, the umpire should award the goal and restart with a centre pass.

3. Team A's WA struggles to catch an ambitious pass from the centre. Just as she looks to have gained control of the ball, her forward momentum means that th ball bounce twice before the WA is able to be in control of the ball and pivot to face her team

As the WA had handled the ball and then lost control so that the ball bounced twice before regaining possession, the umpire should award a free pass to Team B. A player is allowed to bounce the ball once before having control of the ball.

Volleyball

The team can touch the ball three times on the side of their net. You usually pass the ball with either a dig which is an under arm pass with your forearm,  a set which is an over the head pass made with the hands and a strike which is over the head attacking shot. Teams on the other side so the opponents can bloke the strike that is coming across but can not touch the net. There are six players on a court of a volleyball team. Three players inside the three metre attack line and three players outside. Players are only required to stand in these areas for the serve. Only the front three can shoot from inside the attack line. Every time your team wins a point you move position clockwise once. The team can only win a point for their team only if they served the ball. Winning the serve back from the opposition was known as a side-out.Matches are played best of five sets. The first four sets are played to 25 points, with the final set being played to 15 points. A team must win a set by two points. With rally scoring, either team can score regardless of who the serving team is.





1 - back  right, where the player who has just served stands.
2 - front right.
3 - front middle.
4 - front left.
5 - back  left.
6 - back  middle.

Tactic:

Three-touch volley:

• Touch one: The player receiving the ball tries to pass the ball to a component in the middle of their side of the court. Often using a dig shot.
• Touch two: The player in the middle with the ball tries to volley the ball nice and high to one of the front court players. Often using a set shot.
• Touch three: As the ball should now be above the height of the net, it is in a position to be hit downwards very hard (spiking) this is then the final touch which then needs to be passed over the other side for you and your components to try and win points and spiking the ball will make it harder for the components on the other side. Sometimes referred to as a Smash shot.

A service receive system:
W+1 - 5 receivers with a setter at the net.

Cup - 4 receivers with a setter and middle hitter at the net.

Two/Three Receivers - two or three people stood on the back court are responsible for receiving the serve. These are sometimes the outside hitters, but probably whichever players are best able to pass. The others are responsible for the counter-attack.

A defensive system:

6 up - the 6th player covers behind the block near the three metre line, while players 1 and 5 cover deep.

6 deep - the 6 player covers deep while the 1 and 5 players cover near the three metre line

Setting Tactics:

The hand set:  as the player sets the ball they extend their hands and whole body. Follow through while pushing the ball

The back set: when back setting, the setter will arch their back backwards and hit the ball from behind them.

The Quick Set: this is where the setter passes the ball to one of the blockers, normally the nearer one. In effect a short pass, it generally uses just the finger tips. With less of a lob movement.

Basic Rules, Regulations and Scoring Systems.

- When serving the ball the player must stand behind the end of the line.

- The ball can be served underhand or over hand.

- When scoring in volleyball there will be a point on scored on every score of the ball.

- There shall be 4-6 players on each side.

- A team shall rotate each time they score a new point.

- Maximum of three hits per side.

- A player must not block or attack a serve.

- When rotating you rotate clockwise.

- A player should not hit the ball twice on one side.

- You are only allowed to switch positions between the front line players and only after there has been a serve.

Applying The Rules To 3 Scenarios

1. During a particularly long rally you notice that several drops of sweat have appeared on the court. What would you do?

Answer: If there were drops of sweat on the floor during a rally I would wait till the end of the point and ask for the team players to stop the game and to fine some antibacterial spray and clean away the sweat so that the court floor is safe enough to carry on the game and make sure there are no accidents.

2. The server clips the net but does land on the other side without being touched by the opposition. What would you do?

Answer: the opponent who passed the ball has to re-take the serve and try to aim for a more level shoot  in line with the other players.

3.Without realising, a team plays 4 passes before the ball is hit over the net. What would you do?

Answer: carry the game on until both sides have to change positions then you tell your components that the ball was hit too many times previously and if they added an extra score from the extra hit over the net then you minus the point by one from their score.

Skills and techniques of volleyball

Serving

All volleyball players should know proper techniques for serving floaters and jump serves. Servers should spend time practicing a pre-serve routine. Developing a routine will help servers focus and be ready to serve.
The basic volleyball techniques for serving 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.


• Follow through on your armswing.

Skills and techniques for football

skills: there are certain skills you need in football to perform your best you have different skills for different positions for example:

• for a winger you need good dribbling and good pace they also need some skills to beat the defender and cross the ball in
• for a striker you need good shooting and also dribbling as well as heading to perform to the best of their ability and score goals 

Jamie Reeves Unit 2: Assignment 1

Rules, scoring system and tactics for Volleyball

Rules

 1) You get 3 touches per team (plus a block, if there is one) to get the ball over the net.
2) You cannot touch the ball twice consecutively (unless your first touch was the block).
3) You must get the ball back over the net within the "crossing space" - i.e. over the net and inside the lines (that's what the antennae are for, to show where the lines would be if they extended upwards)
4) Don't step over the centre line. You can step on it, or fall over it, but your foot cannot cross it completely.
5) Serve from behind the end line and within the extension of the side lines.
6) You must play the ball entirely on your own side of the net.
7) You can be substituted in and out once, but only for the same player
8) A ref wears a different-coloured shirt to the rest of the team, cannot serve, and cannot attack from front court (i.e. inside the 10' line)
9) You score a point by grounding the ball inside your opponent's court or by making them hit it into the net or out (or committing a handling fault etc., as above).
10) Either team can score a point, not just the serving team.

scoring systems:

Rally Scoring

With rally scoring, teams score a point when the other team fails to return the ball over the net, hits the ball out of bounds, commits an infraction or makes a service error

Side out Scoring

In side out scoring, the serving team scores a point when the opponents fail to return the ball over the net, hit the ball out of bounds or commit an infraction. The non-serving team will earn the right to serve when the opponents fail to return the ball over the net, hit the ball out of bounds, commit an infraction or make a service error

tactics for volleyball

• hit the ball with power
• when you serve hit it to there back line
• hit the ball with two hands
• hit the ball up to set your team mate up
