The setter is the main contributor to the offense of the volleyball
team. One of the requirements of the setter is having a delicate
touch to set the ball perfectly for one of the attacking players.
Communication is extremely important for the setter because
they need to get the rest of the players on the same page.
Without the setter, there wouldn’t be hard spikes or technical ball
movement.
The outside hitter is also known as the left-side hitter and is the
lead attacker in the offensive strategy. To be a successful outsider
hitter, you must be able to jump high, be quick on your feet, and
be ready to adapt to different situations. The volleyball won’t
always be placed where the outsider hitter would like, so they
need to be prepared for hits from a variety of places.
Also known as the right-side hitter, these players need to be a
perfect balance of both offense and defense. They will also get
many opportunities to hit the volleyball, so similar to the outside
hitter, jumping ability is vital. The main difference that sets the
opposite hitter apart is their defensive responsibility. Being able
to receive the serve from the opposing team is just one of the
many requirements of this specialized position.
The middle blocker, sometimes known as the middle hitter, is the
tallest player on the volleyball team. Their main role for the team
is being the first line of defense against the opposing team’s hits.
The middle blocker needs to read the other team’s attackers to
quickly raise his or her arms above the net in a blocking attempt.
The libero can become confusing for non-volleyball players. They
can only play on the back row of the court, and because of this,
are the ideal person to receive a hit from the opposite team.
There are set rules the libero needs to follow, such as not
attacking the ball at the net, playing a set for an attacker from the
front, and more. Theywear a different colored jersey.

Tossing or Overhead Set
An overhead pass is a ball handling
skill used to direct the ball to the target
by contacting the ball with both hands.
the ball is played up overhead using a
setting type motion. using the hands to
play the ball is often preferred
over passing with the forearms because
the hands have greater ball control.

PATH.

“DIG”.
FREE BALL: RETURNING THE BALL TO THE OPPONENT WITHOUT THE
