What is a "bump pass"?
A bump pass in volleyball is a basic technique used to pass the ball using the forearms. The player holds their hands together in a platform position, with their arms extended and palms facing down, to create a solid surface for the ball to bounce off. This pass is often used when the ball is coming at a low angle or too fast to use the hands. The goal is to direct the ball to a teammate, usually to set up a better play. A bump pass requires good timing, control, and positioning.
