Sports / Fitness / Recreation / beach volleyball rules
Italian term or phrase: bagher
From a summarised version of the rules of beach volleyball. The limited context is as follows:
"Ricezione: Ammessa solo in bagher, a una mano, oppure a mani giunte o pugni uniti."

Now I can tell you what it means:
"colpo di risposta che si effettua nella pallavolo colpendo la palla dal basso in alto per mezzo delle mani leggermente sovrapposte"

and show you what it looks like:

but how do I say it in English? Appreciate any help from sportivi out there.

Playing Techniques




The Pass


Forearm Pass

It is also known as "dig pass", or, called "bump pass" in North America. It is used to receive low, hard-driven balls approaching at waist height or lower. The pass is used to receive the serve, free balls, off-speed spikes, and sometimes, to set a ball to the attacker. Skillful use of the forearm pass made obvious its use for playing balls extremely close to the floor. Going for these low balls became known as "digging the ball out," giving rise to the term "dig."

"digs" seem to involve bending down lower than "bumps"

bump


Explanation:
I've played volleyball in Italy and they do call it bagher.
I know they call it just "bump" in the United States.
To be more specific: one handed bump, two handed bump.
