A Volleyball Dive is a type of a dig, where the object of the skill is to prevent the ball from touching the court while it is coming from a downward trajectory. It is performed when a player throws their body in the air with a forward movement in an attempt to save the ball and land it on a part of their body. It can be thought of as a technique to control how to fall on the floor while still playing the ball. The player should dive with their head up and eyes on the ball.
