This article presents information related to volleyball. Volleyball, by its very nature, is a difficult game to play. Players at all ages have a hard time hitting the ball to their intended targets, resulting in rallies that rarely last more than one or two hits. The resulting game, then, is slow paced and boring, with a lot of standing around and little activity time. The following lead-up games can be used to simplify and slow down the game of volleyball so that players can experience more success during play. In these modified games, players are able to utilize and improve their abilities relative to the basic skills of the game. As skills improve and rallies last longer than the typical one or two hits, students are more likely to begin using basic offensive and defensive strategies important to the game. Because the ball must bounce, play slows down. This allows rallies to last longer. Because rallies last longer, students have an opportunity to implement the forearm pass, set, spike sequence on offense and utilize basic defensive strategies such as covering the whole court, anticipating where the ball may be hit, and moving to get in position to hit the ball. Play can be limited to just the forearm pass based on age and experience level of the players.
