You have been excellent the past few weeks.
Do remember all your cues for digging, setting and the underarm serve! Practice, practice and practice whenever you can!

Answers to the volleyball set quiz
4i7,
4 of you didn't manage to complete the quiz, unfortunately. For the 36 of you, answers are out!
1) Where should the ball be when you SET it?
Ans: On top of your head
(Good job, 34 of you got this right! Remember we always said it should NEVER be in front of your face!)
2) What are the cues for setting?
Ans: Chicken wings, triangle window above head, fingertips to set
(Awesome job everyone, all of you got this!)
3) When we set the ball, it must be nice and _________, into the sky?
Ans: High
(Once again, all of you were definitely listening! Well done!)
4) Which part of your body should contact the ball when you SET the ball?
Ans: Fingertips
(Those of you that chose palms, you were careless! Think back to your cues for setting!)
5) Where does the power come from when you perform the volleyball SET?
Ans: Legs
(For the 14 of you that chose legs, well done! The power from the set is exactly like the power from the dig and both skills require power from your legs, remember the pop? This was not mentioned ENOUGH in class but now you know! While your arms seem to do the work, your legs also have to add to the power if you want it to go high!)
Mr Ng will definitely remember to remind you in your next lessons about using the "pop" when you set as well!

3-2-1 Reflections
4i7,
I trust you had fun playing the online game. As mentioned, it is not all about playing a computer game. You must have learnt something from the game!
Take a minute to think about what you learnt before filling up the "3-2-1 Reflections" form you can find below.
3-2-1 Reflections
Make sure you number each point you make clearly when you do the reflections!

Answers to the volleyball dig quiz
4i7,
Good job on the digging quiz. Here are the answers to the questions! Some of you were careless!
1) Where should the ball be when you dig it?
Ans: IN FRONT
(Some of you chose on top, you got confused with setting!)
2) What are the cues for digging?
Ans: Arms out, elbows locked, knees bent, pop when ball comes down
(Good job 4i7, all of you have been listening in class!)
3) Where should you face when you want the ball to go right?
Ans: Face right
(Remember, you face the direction in which you want the ball to go! 30 of you got this right! Good job!)
4) Which part of your body should contact the ball when you dig the ball?
Ans: Forearms
(Again, some of you got confused here. The palm return is a modified form of the dig. The real dig as you were taught after, involves the forearm. Those that chose knees, you were to eager! That answer is for the LAST QUESTION!)
5) Where does the power come from when you perform the volleyball dig?
Ans: Legs
(Only 3 got this wrong. Don't be confused. Remember to read the questions carefully, just like you do in your exams!)

Setting - A clearer look at it
Dear 4i7,
Many of you asked what setting is for in a game. To give you a clearer picture, please click on "Setting for the spike" below. This link will bring you to a video that will answer your question. We will discuss this in class further!
Setting for the spike
Think about this question: Why do you think there is a need to pass the ball to your own teammates during a volleyball game?
See you!
