The first skill that is mentioned is the serve. This is an essential skill in volleyball and is the basic before anyone starts to learn the sport. Serves can be classified as overhand and underhand. Underhand is meant for beginners because its very easy and requires less strength. The overhand serve is for power and speed. It is hard because it requires strength and good accuracy.
Player can barely master the underhand serve. Serves can go over the net by chance and most times it is not served over. The ball may be applied with too much strength and fly to the roof. In general, the athlete in this level cannot serve properly.
The player is now able to master the underhand serve and can serve with good accuracy, the ball almost always never miss and can always land in the court. However, the serve has no power or speed and is extremely easy to return.
Now, starting to get an introduction to the overhand serve and how to strike with power. Not yet completely mastered the overhand serve but most times it can go over. There is good power but little speed applied. Its a bit harder to return but still quite easy.
In the mastery level, the player has completely mastered both the underhand and overhand. They can serve the overhand with both good power and speed. The ball is very hard to return because of the twist added and speed.

The main objective in this line is the skill "set". A set is used during the second hit when a setter sets the ball to another player so that they can spike the ball. The skill will clearly depict the levels of balance the player has and how fast their reactions are to the ball.
The athlete has not yet mastered how to set the ball and cannot physically tell when to set. Their sets may be all over the place and will make the hitter confused. Also their positioning mat not be correct. For example, they might be in the hitter's position during a set.
The athlete is slowly grasping the skill set and can sometimes tell when to set. They position is also improved and can stay in the right position during a set. However, their accuracy of a set still needs a lot of practice and to totally master the skill.
In this level, the player has completely mastered the skill and is able to use it whenever necessary. Their position during the set is always right and can tell where the hitter wants the ball. However, the elevation may still not be completely right. For example, when the set is too high or too low.
This is the final phase to the skill set. In this level,the player is very experienced with the process and can set perfectly no matter what situation they are in. For example. If the ball is flying at him at high speeds. Also, they can analyze the hitter and can set the exact height that the hitter prefers.

The third skill mentioned in the rubric is the spike. Spike is one of the toughest skills to master in terms of volleyball and has to be done with incredible power and accuracy,as well as speed. A player must jump high into the air and hit the ball with their whole body strength.
Not yet able to predict the timing of when to jump and has absolutely no accuracy.The power is not yet to place as well as speed. The ball is almost always hit to the net and rarely go through. Even if it made it through, the power is weak and easy to return.
Now, the player is able to predict the right timing for jumping and can present themselves in front the ball at the correct time. The player is able to get a nice powerful swing at he power but the accuracy is very bad. For example, when the ball is flying everywhere around the court or stadium.
The player is not only able to tell the correct time to jump but also able to hit with good accuracy.The power is great and most of the time, the ball will land in the center of the court. However, the spikes are extremely vulnerable to blocks and most of the time, the ball is catch- able.
In the mastery level. The athlete will demonstrate immense focus in spiking and always catches the right time. Their spikes will have great power, speed, and accuracy. Most of the time they are not affected by blocks because they can quickly figure out a new direction for the ball to go. Many times its not returnable.
____
The fourth and the most important skill is the PASS. The reason why passing is the most important is because it creates opportunities for spites and good sets. It is the foundation of volleyball and and what makes a player good. To pass, a player must demonstrate balance and gentleness.
In the beginners level, the pass is extremely unbalanced and the ball may fly everywhere. The athlete would not know how much strength to use thus the ball could hit the root. The receiver could have a difficult time as well because if the pass is extremely bad, they would not be able to set or spike well.
In this second phase, the player is slowly starting to grasp how to pass using the correct amount of strength but still not perfectly balanced. For example, the ball is passed towards the setter but its too high, this way the setter would have a hard time trying to catch the ball.
In this level, the athlete has grasped all the skills necessary for a good pass and is working towards perfection. Their passes are very accurate most of the times but sometimes are not balanced as well. Most of the time, other players would not have a hard time receiving the ball but occasionally, they would.
This is the highest level in terms of passing the ball. Players in this range have excellent body balance and can give a good pass no matter what position they are in. They will be able to tell where other players want the ball to be and quickly make the decision. In general, people in this level can apply the exact power, elevation, and speed to the pass.
