Volleyball Plays Why A Setters Sets Vary In Speed, Height And Location
The offensive volleyball plays the team runs is determined by the setter who chooses the speed, height and location on the net of the sets the hitters will attack.
Medium height ball sets are the mid-tempo and medium height sets a setter delivers in most secondo tempo volleyball plays they call.
These sets are lower than the high ball sets and higher than the quick sets. They usually have more arc at the height of each set instead of a peak.
Zone 4
Hut set - medium high umbrella shaped ball 6 - 8 feet in the air delivered to the left side hitter and falls just inside the antenna
Zone 3
Two set - a ball set in front of the setter 2-3 feet in the air delivered to the middle hitter
Back Two - Same as above but behind the setter
32 set - an umbrella shaped set that falls between Zone 3/4 delivered to the left side hitter
Zone 2
Red set - a medium height umbrella shaped ball 6 - 8 feet in the air delivered over the head of the setter to the opposite hitter
Volleyball Plays: Low Height Fast Tempo Sets
Low height quick ball sets are the fastest but lowest sets to a net that a setter delivers in most volleyball plays they call.
Zone 4
"Go" set - high ball 4 - 6 feet in the air delivered to the left side hitter at high speed
Zone 3
One set - a ball set in front of the setter 1- 2 feet in the air delivered to the middle hitter
Back One - Same but behind the setter
"31" - a ball set 4 to 5 feet in front of the setter - with the same speed and height of the Go set
Zone 2
Slide set - a back set 4 - 6 feet in the air delivered over the head of the setter to the middle hitter or opposite hitter who takes a one foot spike approach to attack the ball in Zone 2
Backrow Attacks
Sets to backrow hitters are delivered in four different areas in the backcourt and land just inside the ten foot line.
The backrow is divided in four sections starting from Zone 1 and moving to Zone 6 the invisible court sections are A, B, C and D.
But if at the last minute the setter can shoot a faster set out to her outside hitter before the opposing middle gets outside to help her teammate, the opposing outside blocker, then the hitter has a better chance of scoring against one blocker instead of two.
Combination volleyball plays are a combination of sets that setters call to hitters that vary in speed, height and location on the net.
4 - 1 - 5 - a high ball to left front, a one in the middle and high ball back to Zone 2.
31 - 32 - a 31 to Zone 3/4 for the middle hitter and a 32 to Zone 3/4 just behind the middle hitter for the outside hitter
X play - is a front one and the right side player comes around in front of the setter to hit a front 2
Fake X - same as above but the right side hitter fakes like they're going to Zone 3 but then at the last minute they go back and hit the back two instead of the front 2
