Beach volleyball technique

Racks. The pace of the game, the features of the surface of the court require the player to be collected, to be able to maintain balance when moving. Stability and the ability to quickly maneuver are ensured by the correct stance - the legs are bent at the knees, the feet are located at a distance slightly more than the width of the shoulders. One foot is in front. The second, with which the athlete will push off the ground, from behind. The body is tilted forward. The arms are also bent at the elbows, the hands are lowered down.

Movements in beach volleyball there are any type: from walking to running and side stepping.

The most commonly used are jumps, jumps, side steps, falls.

Innings. If the serve is technically difficult and performed correctly, without violating the rules, it will bring a point.

There are three types of serve in beach volleyball: "candle", in a jump, planning serve.

Important! In all three cases, you need to make a correction for the wind, because almost all competitions are held on outdoors. And the weather on the day of the competition is different.

"Candle" got its name because the ball after the serve flies straight up and at an acute angle enters the opponent's half. The player tosses the ball to the level of his head in front of him and sits down, charging his legs. Further, simultaneously with hitting the ball (you need to aim as close to the center of the ball as possible), the legs straighten sharply.

"In the jump" the athlete takes a short run up to three steps. After the run-up, there is a jump up as high as possible and the ball is tossed. The ball must be thrown as close to the net as possible and hit.

Planning feed performed in the same way as in a jump, only the body should lean back, the blow is strong and short.

Photo 2. The girl performs a planning serve of the ball. The projectile is thrown into the air, after which it is hit with a hand.

ball reception almost in all cases it is done with two hands from below. Receivers pay close attention to the wind and move in its direction 1-1.5 meters.

Attention! If the wind blows in the back, the player is displaced closer to the grid, in the face - away from the grid.

When receiving the ball you need to try to do it from the side and not move backwards. If the ball is received at waist level, the player takes a right-back step combination. The higher the ball flies, the farther the leg is retracted. If the ball comes from the left, then the movements are repeated in a mirror order.

There are three levels of transmission: low, medium and high. Low gears are used for great need and quite rarely. Height 60 cm above the grid. Averages are of two types:

• up to 2.5 m above the net and 3 m between partners- it is convenient to agree and take into account the direction of the wind;
• up to 4 m above the grid- used only if the ball was received unsuccessfully.

High gears - above 4 m also a rare occurrence. It is used in case of unsuccessful reception of the ball.

The player who passes the ball begins to move only after receiving and determining the direction of the ball.

Attack. Two types- power punches and kicks.

Freewheeling: "Cobra"- performed with straight fingers. Allows you to work the ball over the opponent's block. Runs forward at the top. Twisted blow - twists with the palm of your hand.

A separate run is performed for the attack. The blow itself is best delivered after a deceptive action at the last moment.

Block. Blocks the direction of impact, reflects the ball to the opponent's side. Guy- the player pushes off with his front foot and runs to the end of the court. Then turn and brake. The block is made before the attacker touches the ball. Blocking from a place, blocking diagonally, lines, "into the ball" is also used.

We spend a lot of time together with the team, so we can say that the girls have become like sisters to me,” says Svetlana Kholomina, defender of the women's beach volleyball team.
