Many people seem to think that when you pass a volleyball, you interlace your fingers. But that is definitely not the case. Actually, that is the worst way possible to pass a volleyball. When you pass a volleyball you want to make a fist with one hand, and cup it with the other hand (shown in the picture above). You DO NOT want to cross your thumbs because if the ball its them then, it will hurt very bad. You also want your forearms to be flat, because that is your platform. Your forearms is where you want to pass the ball. You also need to have your knees bent, and in a squatting stance. When you see the ball coming step left, right. Do not swing your arms. All you need to do is shrug your shoulders because your legs will do all of the work! You also want to call mine, and when you step left right, step towards your target. There is also another form of passing called over head passing. Basically, over head passing is setting. But you're not the setter, you're just not in position to pass the ball under hand.
