A volleyball should be between 9 and 10 ounces and the ball pressure should generally be between 4.3 to 4.6 pounds. The technique that should be used to play indoor and beach volleyball differs.
Beach Volleyball hitting technique:
While spiking a volleyball in a beach court, your jump plays an important role. You need to perfect the art of jumping and hitting the ball over the net. Jumping on a beach is lot more difficult than on a hard surface. On sand you don’t have the grip to pump yourself up which you easily get in a hard court. So the first thing you need to get used to is to your beach court; and one thing that you need to practice is planting your feet hard before you jump. By doing so you won’t sink much when you try to jump.
Since you are interested in volleyball, this theory knowledge would not help you to understand the game or the effort that you need to put for playing an actual volleyball game. Hence it is necessary to take a volleyball coaching. And apart from that you can also watch volleyball videos to understand more about this game.

Now you know spiking is an important feature in a volleyball game. Now let’s look at the other basic factors that you need to master. That is your hand positions – one is the wrapped fist hand position and the other is the cupped palm position. Both the hand positions have to be followed strictly to get the maximum effect while hitting a ball. While serving a volleyball, you can either try the overhand or the underhand method to hit the ball. When passing a ball to your partner you need to use your forearm to make the passing as smooth as possible. Another valuable volleyball tip is that you also need to make sure that when your opponent hits the ball or to finish a point, you either need to block it or try to pass it to your partner. It is better to block a ball while the intention of your opponent is to finish a point. To block, you need to stay close to the net and leap up when the ball crosses the net.
Now you got a fair idea about how to play and the different techniques used while playing volleyball. Perfect these techniques and be a volleyball professional.
