手のひらを外に向けて額の前でボールを軽くはじくように(厳密にはキャッチ＆リリース)して行うパス。オーバーパスともいいます。
緩やかな速さのボールを、頭の上方で、両手でボールを軽く押し上げるような姿勢でボールを弾くプレイ。コントロールを重視する次のアタックの前に行うことが多い。
Also called reception, the pass is the attempt by a team to properly handle the opponent's serve, or any form of attack. Proper handling includes not only preventing the ball from touching the court, but also making it reach the position where the setter is standing quickly and precisely.
The skill of passing involves fundamentally two specific techniques: underarm pass, or bump, where the ball touches the inside part of the joined forearms or platform, at waist line; and overhand pass, where it is handled with the fingertips, like a set, above the head. Either are acceptable in professional and beach volleyball, however there are much tighter regulations on the overhand pass in beach volleyball.
