A. Digging
The technique of digging is generally carried out while lifting a weight,
like the one shown in the picture. For its practice, the knees should
be slightly and kept apart and the knees should be in a bent forward
position. Keep the wrists of the bent arms together, extend the arm
straight while hitting the ball. In this action, the hand should be lifted
when the ball falls between the two wrists.

Activity 8.1

To practice good digging, all players should stay in a circular fonnation
as shown in the picture. The coach can give players the opportunity to
dig from inside the circle. While practicing this way, students should
remain in a position of readiness to hit the ball with both legs split
open. Before hitting the ball, practise connecting the wrists by placing
the left hand above the right hand. Digging can also be practised in
a semi-circular formation.

Activity 8.2

Stand in two rows facing each other as in the picture. Take turns
digging and passing.
