Set Induction:
Today we will work on bumping the
volleyball. Does anyone know what that
means in volleyball terms? So when we
bump the ball we want to bend our knees,
one hand in a fist, the other wraps around

inside of arms. Can I have someone come
up and demonstrate how to bump the
ball? When I say so you are going to find
a partner then grab a ball and go find a
space to practice bumping the ball back
and forth.
Purpose:
The purpose of bumping the volleyball is
it is the major skill used in volleyball so it
is important for the students to learn the
proper way to do it in case they ever want
to play volleyball in the future.
