How to set pass in volleyball
The set is essentially a refined overhand pass. With elbows out, the hands should be raised to a position above the head. Palms should be out with fingers spread and thumbs down. The arms should extend to meet the ball with the pads of the fingers. The ball is directed upward and toward a spot where the hitter can make an aggressive play on it.

Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.To execute a jump serve, the server stands at the back of the serving area. As the server moves toward the service line, the ball is tossed in front of and above the server. As the server leaps, the forearm rises to shoulder height, and the striking hand is drawn back. At the peak of the jump, the striking arm swings quickly forward with the open hand making contact with the ball out in front of the body.

Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.From the basic defensive position (knees bent, feet spread, one foot slightly in front of the other), the outstretched arms are brought together while the athlete lunges toward and under the ball in order to pop it back into the air with the hands or arms. If sprawling is necessary, the athlete follows through with a dive or a roll and quickly regains a standing position.
