Reading is judging where the ball will go from the first clues.

A jump serve comes faster and deeper, so receivers usually drop back a step.

Toss, swing, path, then movement and the platform.

A high, forward toss and a run-up mean a jump serve.

A pass right on the net leaves the setter cramped and lets blockers reach it.

Fuente: FIVB Coaches Manual (Levels I-II), general coaching references · recuerdo

A pass with some height lets the setter arrive and set from under the ball.

Fuente: FIVB Coaches Manual (Levels I-II), general coaching references · recuerdo

Late movement catches passers who arrive just in time.

Fuente: FIVB Coaches Manual (Levels I-II), general coaching references · recuerdo

In front of the body the platform is easiest to aim.

Fuente: FIVB Coaches Manual (Levels I-II), general coaching references · recuerdo

Most of the float's movement happens late in its flight.

Fuente: FIVB Coaches Manual (Levels I-II), general coaching references · recuerdo

Weight forward means the first step toward a dropping ball is quick.

Fuente: FIVB Coaches Manual (Levels I-II), general coaching references · recuerdo

Reaching leaves the platform at a bad angle, so the ball sprays off.

Fuente: FIVB Coaches Manual (Levels I-II), general coaching references · recuerdo

Arriving early leaves time to react to late movement.

Fuente: FIVB Coaches Manual (Levels I-II), general coaching references · recuerdo

Early reading and movement, then small late adjustments.

Fuente: FIVB Coaches Manual (Levels I-II), general coaching references · aplicación

A spinning serve follows a steady curve; a float moves unpredictably.

Jump topspin serves are fastest, standing floats slowest.

Fuente: FIVB Coaches Manual (Levels I-II), general coaching references · aplicación

A serving machine sends identical balls, so receivers get many repetitions.

Some receivers take high float serves with an overhead pass instead of the forearms.

Fuente: FIVB Coaches Manual (Levels I-II), general coaching references · recuerdo

Fuente: FIVB Coaches Manual (Levels I-II), general coaching references · recuerdo

An easy ball means a perfect pass and every attack option.
