Activities

Students should be divided into two groups. One group should stand in a line in one

end and the another group should stand in another end of the court. Each student
standing in the line should be given one ball each and asked to keep the ball on their
left palm/ hand. Then, the students should be asked to throw the ball in the air and
hit it with the right palm/ fist sending the ball across the net to the opposite court.

b. Setting

Setting is another important basic skill in volleyball. In this activity, the ball is raised
above the net making easier to spike it. On the basis of the raised ball by the setter or

raiser, the ball can be smashed forcefully to the opposite court so that the opposing
players cannot raise/ lift it easily. It helps score more points. The setter should stand
facing his back on the side of the net. The setter should raise the second ball of
his/ her side or the ball that comes suddenly from the opposite side above the net
keeping his / her physical state in balance. The game becomes more interesting and

competitive if the setters and raisers are good in each team.
