Are you talking about bumping? You use the arms because your "platform" is larger, wider, flatter than the hands. This helps with accuracy and control. When standing you are able to easily carry a ball on your arms or platform. Try this on your hands. Not so easy.

Im looking for a sports birdie called volleybird. You play the game like volleyball or badmiton .?

Volleyball Rules?

The correct terminalogy would be 'why do you PASS a volleyball with your arm and not your hand' You pass the ball with your inner part of your are due to the fact that it is flatter than any other surface. (it is also the rule) If you pass it with any other part it could 'shank' off in any direction. You do however HIT with your hand due to the fact that your hand allows you to aim at the spot on the court you want to hit.

What are the legal dimensions of a bocce ball court ?

You get better power and balance...I guess. I mean, if you were to bump with your hands you wouldn't have a whole lot of power...would you? I don't think so..though I have never tried. But, you do set with your hand. Well, the pads of your hands to be exact.
Good luck with Volleyball.
