Have you ever watched the pros play beach volleyball and been awed by their sweet passes? It’s also one of the hardest things to master.
Don't worry, because with a few simple tips and some practice, you can become a passing pro in no time!
A successful pass starts with proper positioning and the right mindset. As soon as the ball is served, you should move quickly into position and be ready to receive the ball.
Start With Your Feet
The most important part of passing is your feet. You must be able to move quickly so that you can always be in the right spot. To do this, focus on using small steps as you move around. Take short, choppy steps with your feet parallel and close together. This will give you more stability and control over your movements and help you stay low while still being able to react quickly.
Use Your Hands
Once your feet are set, it’s time to use your hands. Your hands should be close together. As the ball approaches, push up slightly with both hands before making contact with the ball for more power and accuracy. Be sure to keep your wrists loose so that they can move freely when making contact with the ball.
Don't Forget About Your Arms
Your arms also play an important role in passing correctly. When moving around the court or preparing for a pass, keep your arms relaxed so that they can act as shock absorbers when receiving a hard-hit ball. Plus, having relaxed arms will help reduce fatigue throughout long games!
Keep your arms straight throughout your pass motion—this helps ensure that the ball travels over the net with accuracy and power.
Additionally, use both arms when receiving a pass—this gives you more stability and control over the ball while allowing you to adjust quicker if necessary.
Finally, make sure you follow through after each pass—this helps generate power while maintaining balance and stability throughout the entire motion.
Practice Practice and Practice
Passing can be tricky but mastering this essential skill doesn't have to be hard. With proper positioning, and technique, plus plenty of practice, anyone can become an ace passer.
With the above tips in mind, now it's time to put them into... practice!
Mastering your passing game takes time and patience. If done correctly, it can give your game an edge against opponents who aren't taking their passing seriously. So grab some friends and hit up the beach for some volleyball — soon enough you'll be passing like a pro!
Good luck!
