The first thing you need to do is make sure that you're ready. You start by bending your knees. If you're on the right side of the court, usually your right foot is forward so that your body is facing where you want the ball to go. If you're on the left side of the court, your left foot is forward. Make sure that your knees are bent, facing the net, ready to move in any direction. When the ball comes, your hands come together. It doesn't matter how you hold your hands, as long as they're even. Some people do this, some people do this - it doesn't really matter, as long as your arms are straight and they're even. You contact the ball, stepping into the ball, coming up with your legs and arms, so that the ball is going forward. That's basically how you pass the ball. Contact the ball up on your forearms, up here, not down on your hands, not right on your wrists, just above the wrists in this area, evenly with both arms. Come up with the ball, up with your legs and arms, lifting the ball up to your setter.
