[chuckles014]

@Shelby2895

can you explain? i've never heard of that before

[lexibates004]

i was taught to dig and roll, so i dont know whos teaching you.

[chuckles014]

@lexibates004 try to roll going forward. you'll find its a little difficult.

but don't actually try it you could seriously hurt yourself

[boooshka321]

no its not the proper way if your using our hands to help you dive how are you suppposed to hit the volleyball? someone want to explain this to me?

[chuckles014]

@boooshka321

you have to use your hands to land, otherwise you'll flop. she just didn't realize she needed her hands to get the ball, because she doesn't play volleyball. somewhere in the video you can see me telling her to put her hands out, but she was to scared to dive.

believe me people, i know how to dive.

@bieberxoxo22 Yes you can dive forward, it's not exactly what is in this video though.

you dont ever want to teach someone to start on their knees cause it will become a HUGE habit of landing on them.. its knee bent, extension and then hands together!

[boooshka321]

@JNanu34 you should have enough power and force without using your hands when you dive anyway, if you don't put more effort into it!!!!

[boooshka321]

@JNanu34 no you don't use your hands to cushion the fall. When one would dive, one would be low and then one would lean to one side landing on the outside part of your knee, then your hip, then with one or both of your hands you hit the ball, if you use your hands to cushion your fall your gonna snap your wrist! after you slide you roll and get up! never attempt to shorten the length of your dive!!! bad idea!!

[x3Christine167]

your going to brake you wrist like that

@LetsEatUnicorns

no, you're supposed to propose on one knee, not die.

and when you're a skilled player, you don't depend on your knee pads. landing on one knee can result in knee injuries.

she's not falling to the floor, she's learning to dive properly. obviously, she isn't the greatest.

@bieberxoxo22

how do you dive forward if you're diving on your side? there are many techniques to diving. this is just one.

[bieberxoxo22]

This is not how u dive for a ball... first, u dive on ur side.. not ur stomach. If u dive to ur side u dont need to have ur hands at ur side to catch u. u keep ur platform out the whole time. and to get back up u roll over ur shoulder.. or u can do the barrel role for less experienced people. if u dive to ur stomach u cant cover as much space.

[Shelby2895]

@Shelby2895 Well, I dont know how to explain haha. It's like.. more on your side than on your stomach; you move forward to dive for the ball, yet you use the outside of the knee to lower yourself then slide down the rest.. That doesn't make much sence.. but yeah! I learned that from playing vball, not sure if its the technical term.
