Video Transcript: "ADDISON MUSSER: "Hey, my name is Addison from Captain Bills and I'm going to teach you how to spike a volleyball. Spiking a volleyball is probably the most fun part of volleyball. For me, anyway. Spiking a volleyball, I am right handed, so I take a two step approach leading with my right foot. If you're left handed you may want to start with your left foot. So what I do is I take a right left approach. So I start with my right foot, so right, left, bend my knees, squat down, put my arms out behind me with my palms facing up, and then when I'm ready to jump, I jump straight up, not out, you want to jump straight up so use your arms to lift you up off the ground as high as you can. You want to lead with your left arm so that you can get a better control on the ball. So lead with your left arm, bring your other right arm, your hitting arm back, leave with your elbow, open your hand, and follow through hitting the ball. When you spike a ball, you want to spike the ball on the heel of your hand to the palm of your hand. So, bend all the way down, palms facing up, arms behind you, lift up with your arms, lead with your left hand, bring your right hand back, or your hitting hand back, leave with your elbow, and hand facing is open, facing the ball, and hit the ball down. Following through. Put all those steps together, you can spike a volleyball. And that's how you spike the volleyball."
