Funny Volleyball T-Shirts With Dig Volleyball Quotes Made For Liberos

Volleybragswag's Got Balls collection of funny volleyball
t-shirts mix dig terms like gator, flipper, pancake with the plural of "ball" to make new definitions.




In my new line of funny volleyball t-shirts I chose to include volleyball terminology for digging since these terms like gator, jstroke, pancake, shank and nail have different definitions outside of volleyball but in volleyball they describe how to dig balls up.

The 'gator" dig is used by advanced beach players who will hold the heels of their hands together to form the shape of an alligator's mouth to dig a hard driven hit back up into the air for their partner to make a play with.

Funny Volleyball T-Shirts and Pillows Feature Dig Volleyball Quotes Like Flipper: When You Backhand Your Balls So You Can Flick Them In The Air


The flipper is usually done while staying on your feet or running through the ball but many players, actually use the flipper motion when they are diving for a ball when their whole body hits the floor after their dig.

Funny Volleyball T-Shirts and Pillows Feature Dig Volleyball Quotes Like Pancake: When Your Balls Bounce Off Your Hand Instead Of Off The Floor 



The pancake dig is used as the last possible option a digger has to keep the ball off the floor by placing their hand on the floor in the exact spot where the ball is going to land so that the ball hits their hand and bounces back into the air before it hits the floor and bounces back up into the air.

This is different than the traditional dig where you're taught to keep both hands and arms together to form a straight armed platform to use to dig the ball back up into the air.

Funny Volleyball T-Shirts Feature Dig Volleyball Quotes Like Shank: When You Can't Control Your Balls

A shank is actually a digging or passing error so its something you do not want to do in defense or serve receive.

You know what happens when you're digging a ball and you think its coming at you pretty easily so instead of keeping your hips low and underneath the oncoming ball you rise up out of your squat and at the same time this action brings your platform digging arms up to a higher position too?

This is usually all it takes to shank a ball meaning the ball skips off your arms which are no longer low and angled towards your intended target so now the ball skids or skips off your arms and you watch it hurl its way off the court where no one can play it up or save it. 

That my friend is a digging error and goes down in the stat books as your defensive error, the other team gets rewarded a point and the right to serve...because they were able to sideout because of your error.
