What is a "dump"?
A dump in volleyball is when the setter, instead of passing the ball to a teammate, quickly pushes or tips the ball over the net themselves to catch the opposing team off guard. The setter often uses a dump when the other team is expecting a pass or set to a hitter, making it harder for the defenders to block or return the ball. A successful dump requires good timing and the ability to deceive the opposing team into thinking a regular set is coming.
Example
His dump caught the opponents off guard.
The setter scored with a clever dump.
