Overhand Pass
A pass using your fingertips above your forehead, similar to a setting motion but directed toward the target. More accurate than a forearm pass when you have time and a high ball, but referees watch closely for double contacts. Common on free balls indoors and used frequently in beach volleyball.
Example
A serve floats to the shoulder; the passer steps in, hands early, and delivers a clean volley to the setting window.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should you use an overhand pass vs a bump?
High, slow ball with your feet set, go hands. Heat, junk float, or chaos, default to the platform so the contact is dead. On most jump-serve receive patterns, you will still see three passers living on the forearms for a reason.
