Answer 1

Players do not usually master all six skills, but rather focus on one or more of them in connection with the tactics employed by each team. The most common specialization comprises three positions: attacker/blocker (also differentiated in "outside" and "middle"), setter and liberos (defensive specialist).



Generally, taller players with the ability to jump high are utilized as attackers/blockers, where they attempt to block or spike opponents' initial hits and return the ball at high speed on steep trajectories so that the ball lands before the other team has time to react.



* Setters have the task for orchestrating the offense of the team. They aim for second touch and their main responsibility is to place the ball in the air where the attackers can hit the ball into the opponents' court in the easiest way as possible. They have to be able to operate with the hitters with variety and break up the enemy's block. Setters need to have swift and skilful appraisal and tactical accuracy, and must be quick at moving around the court.



* Liberos are defensive specialists, who are responsible for receiving the attack or serve (the dig) and are usually the players on the court with the quickest reaction time and best passing skills. Liberos do not necessarily need to be tall, as they never play at the net, allowing shorter players with strong passing skills to excel. A player designated as a libero for a match may not play other roles during that match.



* Middle blockers or Middle hitters are players that can perform very fast attacks that usually take place near the setter. They are specialized in blocking, since they must attempt to stop equally fast plays from their opponents and then quickly set up a double block at the sides of the court. In general they are the tallest players, but are often less skillful defensive players.



* Outside hitters, also known as power hitters, attack from near the antennas. Since most sets to the outside are high, the outside hitter may take a longer approach, sometimes even starting from outside the court sideline. An outside hitter generally relies on a powerful swing to score, but some offensive plays may call for an angled approach and/or quick attacks to confound the defense. Outside hitters must also master passing, since they generally help the libero in receiving the opponent's serve. A strong-side hitter is an outside hitter that specializes in attacking from the front-left position. This hitting position is advantageous for a right-handed hitter, because the set will come from the right, and can therefore be delivered efficiently to the hitting arm. Conversely, the attacker in the front-right position is the weak-side hitter. Since the set is coming from his left, a right-handed hitter in the weak-side position will have to swing across his body to attack. Thus, left-handedness can be a desirable quality in a weak-side hitter.

Answer 2

It is a concept borrowed from the USA Men's National Team from the days of Karch Kiraly. Left side hitters are "swing" hitters, who carry a major passing load, and can then use audible calls to attack in ANY zone ANYWHERE on the net--often using "inside out" approach patterns, and hitting quicker tempo sets. Our middles and opposite work closely with the swings in combinations to either overload or split the block. In years when the middles are dominant, they are given even more audible options. The setter and coaching staff determine which combinations and zones should be used in general against a particular team/rotation, but there is a lot of "freelancing" on the court to take advantage of scoring opportunities. It is challenging to learn at first, but extremely difficult to stop. The system has allowed Coach Massey's teams to consistently be ranked among the Top 10 nationally in team offensive production. It is also a LOT of fun!

Answer 3

When the height of the ball is over the net enough to where it can go over. Everyone is different though. . Straight arms will help pass better. Do not swing your arms. Use your legs. Where your toes are pointed is where the ball normally goes.. serving the ball. You need to have good timing and strength. There really isn't positions.. well middle right and left ( for the front) or they call numbers On how they want a set.. depends on the team.. same with the back.. they call it out.. getting low and moving your feet with increase your chance of passing well and getting the ball.. hope this helps kiddo.

Answer 4

i cringed when i saw "swing positions" i really hope you dont mean a swing pass. if you mean hitting, then you need to ask the coach of the jv and varsity teams what it is or ask the other players b/c it is hard to explain unless it is face to face but i'll try my best. you start on the outside of the court at the 10 foot line low with your right foot forward. you take a normal step half way to your target position with your left foot and then take a quick short step with your right then one with your left right after you step with your right and step with your left a little bit infront of you so you face the setter half way. you swing your arms backward while you do this and once you finish steping, swing your arms up while you jump and contact the ball above your head in front of you about a half foot, snap your wrist and swing your right hand across your body to your middle or left side and when you reach the ground, plant.

i dont see why your coach for jv or varsity wont show you. just watch the other players and follow what you see is getting good feedback from your coach.

Answer 5

I think coaches should be responsible for hindering players. When paying for club and they leave players sitting it's outrageous. the parents are paying 1300.00 or even 2500,00 in some instances. No right to leave them sit and take money. Never pay for a team you get nothing from. Always leave and move on or get a trainer for that. Many coaches feel they have power because they've never had it before. Move on to anywhere to get touch on the ball. So sad what I've seen with high school and travel lately. Poor character in many of the situations and kills self esteem that actually improves play. Horrible.

Answer 6

In my opinion, different players have different styles of approaching. The textbook approach may not work for you as it did with others. Years of practice and experience will teach you the "best" approach suited for your height, weight and other factors critical in approaching for the kill. Timing and variation is essential in swinging for a spike because the opponent team's blocker/s will have a tendency to "read" you.(a term we use here in the Philippines when a spiker is repeatedly blocked because the blocker/s have managed to perfectly master the spiker's approach and hitting style)

Answer 7

For swing positions i am assuming you are meaning for spiking

Spikes- oNe foot form the outside of the 10ft line three step and swing with a strong open hand infront of you and stay behind the ball

Answer 8

When you are approahing to spike the ball over the net, you go left, right ,left, bring your arms back, jump, bring your using hand up and hit the ball. Make sure you snap your wrist down so it doesnt go out.
