When playing what is apparently offensive volleyball—that is, the ball is being passed and set under control— the team in possession will be preparing to defend their opponent's
response to the ball going over the net. Good defense is predicated on first controlling the ball and moving players into position to make offensive play possible. For beginning volleyball players, it is
necessary to separate offensive and defensive skills, for purpose of instruction. As players become more experienced and familiar with the transition game, the separation between offense and defense will
become less apparent and less important. The game will be played in a rapid, free flowing manner, blending into an overall system of play.
- Serving Strategy
The most obvious, important, and the easiest to control factor in terms of
maintaining offensive pressure on your opponent is a controlled, well-directed, and well-placed serve.
- Receiving Service
The player who can consistently place the serve into vulnerable areas on the
opponent's side of the court or who can serve the ball with great power, spin, or float, is very much on the offensive. Clearly, receiving service starts as a defensive function.
