What is a throw in volleyball? There is no call for a throw: the call is a lift: signal is an extended arm with palm up and a lifting motion from the shoulder: LIFT: The ball must not be caught and/or thrown.

What is a throw in volleyball? There is no call for a throw: the call is a lift: signal is an extended arm with palm up and a lifting motion from the shoulder: LIFT: The ball must not be caught and/or thrown. There is technically no such call as a “lift”. That is an archaic term used by either 60+ yr old former players or parents who do not know the current rules. The correct and proper term is caught or thrown for the violation.

What is a throw in volleyball? The NCAA rule is: 14.2.2 Caught or Thrown Ball The ball must be hit cleanly and not caught or thrown. Prolonged contact with the ball is a fault. The ball can rebound in any direction. ----------- There is no further definition of what "caught" or "thrown" means, but I presume the assumption is that we all pretty much know what those words mean. I also presume that the way that is written is something of a guide to the referee that they are to make the call based on "prolonged contact" and not based on something like a sense that "for the ball to have gone in the direction that it did, it must have been thrown". Also, despite that it is true that the word "lift" is not in the rule, it's still quite common for people to refer to "prelonged contact" as a lift.

So even if you do that catch where the ball is spinning on your flat palm and there are no fingers or fingertips involved, it's a catch/throw due to prolonged contact.

The correct and proper term is caught or thrown for the violation. And the signal for Caught or thrown ball is a lift (ing) motion with the palm up! “Slowly “lift” the forearm, palm of the hand facing upward.“. The signal is not “catch” or throw ling motion it is open palm lifting motion.

What's the most unusual or obscure VB rule that you can think of? The height of the net being 2.43 m for men and 2.24 m for women. Which equates to 7’ 11-5/8 “ for men and 7’ 4-1/8” for women. Nice round numbers. And how it changes for 12 and under and then for women at 45,55, and 70 and men at 55 and 70 years old.
