Setter Volleyball Position: Responsibilities 



Accepting the responsibility of playing in the setter position means you agree to be involved in almost every play.

  • As a setter you have to have hustle and desire to go after every ball, whether its been passed right to you or if you have to chase the ball down

In the front row, during each match, the hitters only focus on being effective hitters and blockers, but a setter has to be a "big picture" player who sees how the game develops for all of her spikers not just one.
