Bump: The bump is the basic pass in volleyball. It is used when receiving a serve or reacting to an opponent's attack. The player should be holding his arms away from the body at a 90-degree angle with his hands together. Knees should be bent. The ball comes in contact with the lower forearms just above the wrist.
Set: The "set" is an overhead pass used to change the direction of the dig and put the ball in a good position for the spiker. It is usually the team's second contact.

How to Play
Volleyball is a game that can be played indoors or outdoors. The object of the game is to hit the ball over the net and into the other team's territory, without letting the ball hit the ground. The team that wins the most points in a set, usually wins the match.
In full-sided volleyball, there are six players on each team–three on the front row and three on the back row. Players have to hit the ball over the net, block the other team's shots, and set up plays.
To start the game, one player from either team serves the ball over the net. The receiving team has three chances to hit the ball back over the net. If the ball touches the ground then the other team gets a point. The first team to reach 25 points with a 2-point differential, wins the set. There are typically multiple sets in a match.
