Hello Kayla and welcome to www.AllExperts.com

My name is Coach Tovar

To make sure that all my readers young and old can understand some of my comments, I have chosen to use simple vocabulary words and interpret the rule for this sole purpose.

The main reason players have trouble with their timing is that they don't have a consistent approach. If the approach is slightly different every time, then the timing will also be off.

Here are some of my pointers on becoming a great and consistent hitter.
1. The less number of steps in your approach, the better.
2. Start your approach about 1 to 2 feet behind the 10 foot line.
3. Don't jump straight up, use you approach as momentum to push yourself up in the air.
4. Always hit the ball at it's highest point.
5. Your body should be facing the setter as you jump and turn into the net as you hit.
6. At home, hit a branch or object that is 1 foot higher than your net. Change the height as you get better.
7. Point your arm at the ball just before you spike it.
8. Curl your fingers and palm into a "C" formation when hitting.
9. If possible, throw the volleyball up into the air and practice hitting the ball after it bounces as it is going up.
10. If possible, throw the ball over the net with your approach just like a normal spike.
11. Practice aiming at the ball and taking your eyes off the ball as you hit it so that you can see whether the blockers are looking down or not.
12. Once you perfect your approach, your timing then comes into play.
I hope this answers your question.
