Kiwi Sport | Dig

A dig is the method used to hit the ball in volleyball.

Place the dominant leg in front of the non-dominant leg, shoulder width apart.

Bend the legs and lean forward slightly.

Put the non-dominant hand into a fist form then put the dominant hand over it (thumbs aligned).

Straighten the arms and push outwards aligning the fists with the waist.

When hitting the ball, the body should move from a bent position to a straight position to push the ball outwards. The arms should also come up straight and align with the shoulders.

In volleyball, it is important to know how to dig because it is the major technique to hitting the ball. The ball should contact the forearm instead of the fist.
