The forearm pass, or the bump, is the way you start every rally. It's the way you receive the serve. Your arms are out in front of you, you contact the ball, you lift it into the air so that your setter can give you a nice set and you can attack the ball. A forearm pass is very important, because this is how you start the rally. If you have a good forearm pass, you're going to get a good set from your partner. A bad forearm pass means you're not going to get a very good set, and you're going to struggle to put the ball away.
