Roof
Gym slang for a stuff: the ball smacks the block and dies straight back on the attacker’s side. On the stat line it still counts with the rest of your block total, but on the floor it is the exclamation mark that shifts momentum harder than a service ace some nights.
Example
The swing is hard, the hands are over, the ball is straight down, the hitter is staring at the tape.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to roof someone in volleyball?
It means you stuffed them straight down, like you built a roof over the hitter’s hand. The crowd name changes from gym to gym, the point does not.
