Pass -
Dig -
Block -
Set - pass
Hit/Kill - Smash (I think)
Thank you!
So I just joined a volleyball league here in Zurich and am trying to quickly learn the German terms for the following English words. Does anyone know? I can't find a website that has these either and before I ask my coach to write them down for me I thought I would see if I could find out myself:
I'll give it a try, but guarantee for nothing:
Pass - (If you mean passing to a team member): der Pass (Switzerland; in Germany also: das Zuspiel)
Dig - die Manschette (Switzerland), der Bagger
Block - der Block
Set - der Satz
Hit/Kill - der Smash (refers to the shot technique, if it was a kill or not is irrelevant)
Danke!
Here are some volleyball terms in German:

Outside/Left side hitter - Aussenangreifer
Referee - Schiedsrichter

PS
Could you find proper volleyball shoes?
WOW! Thank you. I did find shoes, bought them from a fellow English Forum Member!
You are welcome, Hestia . Good to know that you could get shoes...
It was little confusing with the German words at the beginning, but got used to. Are you playing in a high league? I do in the regional 4th league... (and by the way, I'm a female, too )
