what are the 5 techniques in volleyball?When is the appropriate time to use them in the game?

I have never heard anyone explain them as the 5 techniques of Volleyball, but I assume you are talking about the following...

1. Serving - The act of hitting the ball over the net to the other team in order to start a new play.

2. Passing - Receiving the serve.

3. Setting - Receiving the pass and setting up your hitters so they can spike the ball.

4. Hitting/Spiking - Hitting the ball over the net to try and end the Rally.

5. Digging - Receiving the other team's spike.

Well, I think this is what your talking about.. This is Volleyball basics and hope it helped.

1.passing; if its a free ball

2.digging; when it's coming fast and low

3.setting; when the first person hits it to setter or it's above your head.

4.tom-aha; when it's coming towards your face

5.diving; when it's almost going to hit the ground or you can't run fast enough.
