This appears to be a natural shortening of オーバーハンドパス, "Overhand Pass" which already has an entry in this dictionary.  youtube video search results for either long "オーバーハンドパス" バレー or short "オーバーパス" バレー are endless.

Maybe オーバーパス should also be added to the オーバーハンドパス entry?

I suspect that volleyball represents a rather large percentage of real-world use of this term, even vs. infrastructure.
