Volleyball Offensive Strategies, Tactics and Plays That Setters Run
Volleyball offensive strategies, volleyball plays and tactics that setters run from easy to complex, beginners learn setter strategies to run the team attack.
The "Four" is a very high ball delivered to the player in Zone 4.
This is the type of set that setters use the most . With an imperfect pass, they can still get to the ball and deliver it to Zone 4 easier than they can to the middle (Zone 3) or right side (Zone 2) position.
After the pass, the setter gets to the ball, then squares her hips to face Zone Four.
With her body under the ball and hands outstretched above her forehead the setter pushes the ball high to the ceiling towards ZoneFour so once the ball peaks 8 - 10 feet in the air, it comes down just inside the antenna closest to the first referee and 1-2 feet off the net.
The "Five" is a high ball set delivered to Zone 2.
The setter contacts the ball with all ten fingers above her forehead, but then she pushes it behind her, high towards the ceiling so that it drops just inside the antenna closest to the second referee, inside the court and a foot off the net.
Volleyball Plays and Positions For Front Row Hitters
Offense Volleyball Plays Fast Sets To The Outside Hitter
The most common offense volleyball plays set to the left side:
The "Hut" - a medium high/medium speed rainbow shaped set that falls inside the left antenna after peaking 5-6 feet above the net
The "Go" - a fast speed/low set with little-to-no-arc that that travels almost parallel to the net before it falls inside the left antenna after peaking 3-5 feet above the net. The set is also called a "front shoot" set.
Volleyball Offensive Strategies Quick Sets To The Middle Blocker
The most common volleyball offensive strategies set to the middle:
(Back)
The "A" set is a high speed set 1-2 feet high that falls just behind the setter's back. This set is also called a "back one."
The "slide" set is a flat high speed back set that falls just 4 - 5 feet away from the setter between Zone 3 and Zone 2 after peaking 1-3 feet as it travels across the top of the net.
It's called the slide because the middle hitter takes a four-step one-footed takeoff spike approach and glides/slides to the ball before hitting it at the peak of her jump and at the highest point of the set.
The "31" set also called a "3" set is a high speed set that falls just 4 - 5 feet away from the setter between Zone 3 and Zone 4 after peaking one foot above the top of the net. This set is based on a location along the net and not where the setter is so its often delivered to the same spot on the court.

The "red" set is a medium high speed back set that falls just 3 - 4 feet away from the setter to Zone 2 after peaking 1 - 3 feet above the top of the net and falling just inside the antenna closest to the second referee in Zone 2. The "Red" set is also known as a "back shoot" set.
