Unit 8: Volleyball Passes

Forward, Back, and Side Passes

We execute these passes using our fingers. In the forward pass, we place our hands in front of our forehead to hit the ball. For back and side passes, the hands are placed above our head. These passes are used almost exclusively when attacking.

Serve Reception

Receive the ball in a "W" formation. The setter is the player in the third or second position, depending on the chosen strategy.

Attack Techniques

• Backward attack with a semi-short pass or a forward attack with a short pass.
• Attack through the middle with a short or semi-short pass, or an attack by a player with a short or tense pass that just touches the net.

Sprint Stride Phases and Ground Contact

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)

Anatomy of SCI

Shifting and crushing injuries often involve two right angles. White matter, the fluid surrounding the spinal cord, can be pinched, leading to neuron loss. Even after correction, the cord may not fully recover, potentially resulting in loss of function below the injury site. The central canal may be affected. Improvement is possible over time, with the neck being the most susceptible area.

SCI Levels

Neck injuries are more common than thoracic injuries due to the ribs providing additional stability. Cervical injuries (C1-C3) can affect arms, hands, and breathing. C4 injuries impact neck and shoulder movement. C5 injuries limit elbow flexion and shoulder movement. C6 injuries allow wrist extension but limit...
