These sets are the highest and the slowest above the net giving the spiker much more time to take a spike approach that gets them to the ball in the air above the net so they can attack hit the ball into the opponent's court. 


Outside Set

The outside set is delivered by the setter or another player to one of the two outside hitters, waiting to hit the ball in the left front or right front position on the court.

Four Set

A four set is a high ball shaped like the letter A, which reaches a height of 10 to 15 feet and is set outside to the left front (LF) position on the court where it should come down three feet inside the court and three feet off the net just inside of the left antenna.

Five Set

A five set is a high ball shaped like the letter A with an arc that reaches a peak anywhere from eight to ten feet that is a back set attacked from Zone 2 for the right front hitter.



This is an effective point scoring hitting strategy because it's hard for diggers to react to a ball that's been deflected by the block. 



Two Set

The two set is set in front of the setter in Zone 3 which is in the middle of the net. 

It's a ball set 2 - 3 feet in the air reaching a peak like the letter A and goes straight up and down about two feet in front of the setter along the net.
