setter.

arms down to waist level and bend your knees. Use both of your arms to
generate force for your jump, extending both arms above your head.
HIT THE BALL
Raise your elbow above your ear and keep your palm close to your head.
When your hitting hand pulls back, keep the elbow high and extend the
hitting arm up. You want to make contact with the ball at the peak of your
jump. Hit the top of the ball with the heel of your hand.

SPIKING CONTINUED
SNAP YOUR WRIST
Snap your wrist downward to spike the ball into your opponents
court. Finish with your fingers over the top of the ball. Be careful
not to "carry" the ball for even a second.
FOLLOW THROUGH
Finish your spike by bringing your arm down across your body.
LANDING
When landing be sure to bend your knees to absorb the impact.
Your feet should be shoulder-width apart in a balanced position
