Each play in volleyball begins from a different point, with the offensive players in different relative positions facing a different defensive pattern. Because of these factors and because as the play develops there are so many other quick changes in the situation, the writer does not advocate the use of standard plays which involve signals. If the offensive spikers do not know where or how the ball is going to be set, they cannot telegraph the play to the defense; they will be more effective as fakers if they actually hope to get the ball; and the setter is given that important extra split second to decide on the best play. Since the spiker has no preconceived picture of what he is going to do with the ball, he is in a better position to figure out his best play when he gets the set. There are a few teams which emphasize plays.
Florida State University uses a regular system of plays in volleyball similar to those called in football. Net men are numbered left to right, one, two, and three. The opponent's court is divided into three long areas corresponding to the front position from left to right, one, two, and three. This gives the playing captain an opportunity to call every play if necessary before it develops. If we want our left spiker, whose number is one, to hit off the outside blocker or down his side line, the 11 play is called. If this same spiker wants to hit diagonally across the court, the 12 play is called. If this same spiker wants to hit the ball sharply to his right diagonally, the 13 play is called. Likewise, the middle man is number two and he has a choice of hitting left for a 21 play, down the middle for a 22 play, and to the right for a 23 play. If a tip is wanted just over the net, it is designated by adding the letter A to the number called. If a deep lob is wanted, the letter B is added to the play called. In this manner every player knows who is to hit the ball and where it is supposed to go. This system strengthens team play, adds color to the team, strengthens defensive play, and builds confidence in offensive play. (See Figure #7.)1 Fig. #7. SYSTEM OF PLAYS 2
