What is a "spike"?
A spike in volleyball is a strong downward hit of the ball, typically executed by a player near the net, aiming to send it into the opponent's court with speed and precision. It is an offensive move used to score points and often involves a coordinated approach, jump, and powerful arm swing. Spikes are challenging for defenders to block or return, making them a crucial part of the game. The success of a spike relies on timing, technique, and teamwork, as it often follows a set from a teammate.
Example
Her spike won the team the final point.
The coach praised the player's powerful spike during practice.
The defender tried to block the spike but missed.
