Obviously, everybody has different skill sets. the goal of this lesson is not to become an olympic volleyball player. instead, it is to learn/improve some basic volleyball skills. for this assessment, you should experiment with your passing, serving, and setting. (perhaps the local ymca has pick-up volleyball games in which you could participate.) after you have practiced each of these three skills, respond to the following questions in writing, for each of the three skills. your essay should be at least 200 words. what did you find most challenging about mastering this skill? why? what did you find easiest about mastering this skill? why?

To some, volleyball can be a challenging sport. To others, its the easiest. There are three skills to volleyball. Passing, serving, and setting. researchers say if you find a flat and high wall to practice against, you'll become better. You can pass, serve, and set it yourself (the wall). The wall will work as an opponet except much easier. A volleyball pass is a done with the objective to move the ball to a teammate called a setter. Different type of passes include the following: Knee Drop Passing Technique, The Forearm Pass, Forearm Volleyball, and the Overhead Passing.For competitive volleyball, there are three main types of overhand serves: the floater, the topspin, and the jump serve. After the serve, each team tries to send the ball onto the other side of the court. A team may touch the ball no more than three times. The same player can't touch the ball twice in a row. Once somebody on the other team touches the ball, you get three more tries to put it over the net and in. The changing of the game of volleyball has led to confusion among players, refs, coaches and especially spectators. A Set and a Match - The new terms in volleyball are a set is 25 points and it takes 2 or 3 sets to win a match. Usually the deciding set of a match is 15 points.

low context culture   (lc.):

association:    

relationships begin and end quickly. many people can be inside one's circle; circle's boundary is not clear.

things get done by following procedures and paying attention to the goal.

one's identity is rooted in oneself and one's accomplishments.

social structure is decentralized; responsibility goes further down (is not concentrated at the top).

interaction:

low use of nonverbal elements. message is carried more by words than by nonverbal means.

verbal message is explicit. context is less important than words.

verbal message is direct; one spells things out exactly.

communication is seen as a way of exchanging information, ideas, and opinions.  

disagreement is depersonalized. one withdraws from conflict with another and gets on with the task. focus is on rational solutions, not personal ones. one can be explicit about another's bothersome behavior.

territoriality:

space is compartmentalized and privately owned; privacy is important, so people are farther apart.

temporality:

things are scheduled to be done at particular times, one thing at a time. what is important is that activity is done efficiently.

change is fast. one can make change and see immediate results.

time is a commodity to be spent or saved. one’s time is one’s own.

learning:

reality is fragmented and compartmentalized. one source of information is used to develop knowledge. thinking is inductive, proceeds from specific to general. focus is on detail.

learning occurs by following explicit directions and explanations of others.

an individual orientation is preferred for learning and problem solving.

speed is valued. how efficiently something is learned is important.
