Volleyball dig shot
The dig shot requires players to get low and to stop the ball touching the ground. When completed successfully the shot provides accurate and consistent passing, which is essential to create a multiple attack.

- Drive off from legs to get towards the path of the ball.

- Place the back of the right hand on top of the palm of the left hand.
- Bring both thumbs together and place them side by side.
- Keep fingers and thumbs close together.
- Lock your elbows together.
- Hold arms out straight in front.
Stage three
- Hands start low in front of the body and swing up to strike the ball upwards.
- Strike the ball with the lower forearms.
