It is important for the beginning volleyball players to learn the basic technical skills, such as 1) shuffling, 2) basic stance, 3) passing, 4) setting, 5) underhand serve.
In the beginning, it is extremely important to run technical drills which focus on each technique, one at the time.
In the beginning, most players are not able to learn techniques correctly just by playing - or running drills which combines too many skills together.
