ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Virtual Elementary School Set Pass and Forearm Pass Skill Demonstration
Volleyball is a fun and exciting sport, but like most sports, you need to learn the basics before you can become really good at it. Let’s dive into two important skills that every volleyball player should know: the set pass and the forearm pass.
The set pass, also known as setting or volleying, is a way to pass the ball using your fingers in an overhead motion. Here’s how you can do it:
The forearm pass, often called bumping, uses an underhand motion. Here’s how to do it:
Great job! Now you know how to perform two basic volleyball skills. Keep practicing, and you’ll be ready to play like a pro in no time!
Gather your classmates and form two lines. Each team will take turns performing the set pass to a target. The first team to successfully complete the relay wins! Focus on using the correct form and technique as you pass the ball to your teammate.
Pair up with a classmate and practice the forearm pass. Stand a few feet apart and take turns passing the ball back and forth. Count how many successful passes you can make in a row. Challenge yourselves to beat your record!
Create an obstacle course that includes stations for both the set pass and the forearm pass. Move through the course, performing each skill at the designated station. Time yourself and see how quickly you can complete the course while maintaining good technique.
Set up a target on a wall or use a hula hoop as a target. Practice your set pass by trying to hit the target consistently. Keep track of how many times you hit the target out of ten attempts. Work on improving your accuracy with each round.
Divide into small teams and play a modified volleyball game where only forearm passes are allowed. Focus on using proper form and communicating with your teammates. This game will help you apply the forearm pass in a fun and competitive setting.

Like most sports, volleyball requires every player to learn the basics before they can excel. Let’s learn about two basic skills players use in volleyball.
First, performing a set pass, sometimes referred to as setting or volley, involves setting the ball in an overhead motion using your fingers. To perform a set pass, follow these cues:
1. Get into the ready position with your feet spread shoulder-width apart, knees bent, and your hands out in front of you. The ball may not come right to you, so being in the ready position will allow you to move to the ball.
2. Get ready to receive the ball by bringing your hands up in front of your face, forming a diamond shape with your thumbs and index fingers. The rest of your fingers should be spread out.
3. Get underneath the ball as it comes toward you and receive it by bending your elbows. Push up and extend your arms as you release the ball from the tips of your fingers. Use an upward movement in your knees, arms, and wrists to add power behind your set pass.
A forearm pass, sometimes referred to as bumping, uses an underhand motion. To perform a forearm pass, follow these cues:
1. Get into the ready position with your feet spread shoulder-width apart, knees bent, and your hands out in front of you.
2. Bring your hands together, one inside the other, with both thumbs touching and pointing away from you.
3. Get underneath the ball and make contact with your forearms just above your wrists. Instead of performing a swinging motion, let the ball bounce off your forearms.
4. Point your hands and shoulders in the direction you’d like the ball to go.
Congratulations! Now you know two basic skills used in volleyball.
