OPEN ENDED QUESTION

Describe the volleyball dig. When is it a
dig and not a forearm pass? What is the
difference?

Answer 1

A dig occurs when a player passes the ball after it was attacked by the opponents (spiked). Digs are only considered digs when the attacked ball is passed properly and the game is kept in play.

Step-by-step explanation:

A forearm pass is a normal pass from one player to another. When an opponent attempts to spike the ball and score a point, the ball is attacked. If a player can "save" the ball before the opposition would score, it is considered a dig. If the ball is not saved and the play is over, the dig is not recognized. Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

A dig is a pass of a hard-driven ball from the other team. Like a pass, your arm position and platform remain the same. The difference is that the ball is coming from a high point above the net and hit in a downward trajectory. When passing the ball is coming from 30 feet away and usually below the height of the net.
