"Spike it like a Pro!"

One of the skills of Volleyball that I keep honing right now is the Spiking. It is one of the basics. The purpose for doing this is to kill the ball going to the opponent's court, avoiding it to go back to where it came, and score.

During my first encounter of this sport, I really don't know the proper way of doing it. Like, when I tried to do it, it will go outside the court or it landed as top spin only. "The main goal is to hit the ball in slope motion." Well, our coach was very patient to each of one us. He did taught us the step by step process of each basic skills. Later on, I am able to learn the right timing and the right position of the hand when hitting the ball when attempting to spike it.

Here are some Spiking Tips;

- Straight on full palm contact direction depends on forward swing and where you're facing ball will go perpendicular to hand can manipulate with variation in power and spin or float.

Source

- Thumb down contact inside part of ball slightly positioning changes slightly depending on other angle intentions (ie. more down-more on top)

Source

- Pinky down contact slightly on outside of the center of the ball direction will depend on contact point, back and forward swing.

Source

- To get internal rotation spin and power, regular powerful swing contact slightly outside the center of the ball (of hitting arm) ball will spin internally and sporadically to curve the path.

When I went to College, I was given the chance to improve this skill for I was then a former campus varsity player of Volleyball. The training was not easy, especially that I am not a tall player. I also undergo a lot of pressures especially during the time that we were about to participate SCUAA games. But everyday training gives me a lot of chances to really strive for improvement. And all the tiredness, body pain, scolding, and pressures were payed off. I may not be a tall player but I can jump. Not as high as Hinata Shoyo in Haikyu, but one thing is for sure, I can surely do the skill. I am proud of that. As a matter of fact, I am now teaching my teammates do it as well. Surely, it will take time for them to master the skill but I know they can do it. I believe they can and they will. I see some potentials.

With regards to "Linggo ng Kabataan ft. Forty Uppers" we won against the Team Nanays with two against one (2-1) standing.

Unfortunately, my little cousin didn't recorde the full video of the game. She only took the first set of the game. Here's the link to our game the other night;

"Me, wearing jersey number 22."

It was a close game, they even turned the favor and made a decision set. "We were up against the veteran players din naman kasi. Kahit mga nanay na, may ibuboga pa rin sa laro." ^_^ Tonight, we will having another games and as well as the Championship game of my papa's team.
