"Hey my name is Addison from Captain Bills and I'm going to teach you how to fix your bump shot in volleyball. Bump shot is used on mainly on the third hit when you have to hit it over the net. A couple of things you want to remember is to make sure that your butt is down. You want to make sure that your knees are bent. You want to make sure that you are behind the ball and the ball is in front of you at all times. Also you want to make sure that the ball is coming off just like you are passing the ball or bumping the ball. Coming off your forearm in between your wrists and your elbow. Make sure your platform is set and make sure you are facing your target where you want to put the ball over the net. And also follow through to where you are putting the ball over to the net. If you want to go deep, for a bump shot you want to get low and push the ball out, push the ball out a little bit, but if you wanted to go short you still want to get low and push it up, and out a little bit to make it a shorter bump shot over the net. Repetition is one thing you can use to fix your bump shot in volleyball, it really helps you to work on it a lot and to practice it a lot to get your bump shot consistent so you can get it over the net and that is how to fix your bump shot in volley ball."
