Which volleyball skill is used to pass the ball in net and wall games?

• A. Set
• B. Forearm Pass (bump)
• C. Spike
• D. Dig

Answer: (B)

In net and wall games, controlling and directing an incoming ball with a stable platform is essential, and the best tool for that is the forearm pass, often called a bump. This move uses the flat surface of the forearms to absorb the ball and send it accurately to a teammate. You form a solid platform by keeping your arms together, elbows locked, and your body weight ready to push from the legs. Contact happens on the lower forearms, and the motion is a compact, leg-driven action rather than an overhand swing, which helps reduce spin and improves control. This makes it ideal for keeping the rally alive when the ball is coming fast or close to the net or wall. A set is an overhead touch used to place the ball for a hitter, a spike is an attacking hit, and a dig is a defensive save to keep the ball in play—these are not the standard passing technique in these games.
