In the "Four and Two" system one setter is always in the center forward position between the two spikers. Figure #10 shows the relative positions of front-line players when the setter is at center forward. Figures #11 and #12 show the player shifts (made as the serve is hit) which move the setter to center forward from left forward (#11) or from right forward (#12).
Both spikers expect to get each set and actually begin their approach to spike before they know the direction of the set. The setter, of course, must be able to set equally well forward or backward so that the opposing blockers do not know until the ball leaves his hands where the set will go. Figures #13 and #14 below show the positions of all six players as the ball is spiked at left forward (#13) and at right forward (#14).
When the ball is set to the left, the left back covers behind the spiker, the right back moves slightly in and toward center, and the center back plays deep to cover the back court. When the ball is set to the right, the same protective shifting takes place to the opposite side.
