In respect to this, what does lifting or carrying mean in volleyball?
A lift is when a player has prolonged contact with the ball and the result is basically throwing the ball back into play. Underhand contact with the ball should be with your forearm platform pass. Any time you maintain a longer touch on the ball or seem to “possess†it, the referee will call you for a lift or a carry.

Regarding this, what happens when the ball is carried in volleyball?
In the case of a carry, the referee will usually signal it the same as a lift, but the official name of the fault is a “catch.†The referee will blow the whistle dead and extend their arm down toward the floor with their palm facing upward, and then raise the hand bending at the elbow.
Is carrying illegal in volleyball?
Carrying During A VolleyThe ball is not allowed to be caught or thrown (FIVB Volleyball Rules section 9.2. 2). It can often be a fine line between a volley and a catch and throw. When you're volleying, it's important that you don't “possess†the ball for more than a quick fluid motion.
