The Spike
A spike is when the ball is hit or smashed across the net and into the opponents court. It is the most powerful shot in volleyball - and the most effective way to win a rally. A spike can be hit at the net or from behind the attack line depending on where the setter has put the ball, and there are many different kinds of spikes to suit different game situations.
