Platform
The flat surface created by joining your forearms together for passing and digging. Lock your wrists, present the platform early, and direct the ball by adjusting your angle rather than swinging your arms.
Example
The jump serve is flat; the platform is out before takeoff, the angle is to target, the ball is on a rope.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you make a good platform in volleyball?
One grip style you trust, arms straight, shoulders forward, platform face presented before the ball arrives. Boring is fast.
Why does my platform keep sending the ball off target?
Usually because you are swinging instead of angling, or you are not square when you present. Get your midline to the ball, then let your legs do the up.
