Fig. #18 (Opponents serving) N£T-

X—Spiker; O—Setter;
Path of player;-------- > Path of set
Explanation:
1. Front-line spikers, at half court with plenty of room between, are main receivers. Corner spikers near side lines
to take serve or force it to center court. Setter at right back hides behind right corner spiker.
2. When ball is served, setter runs outside court around
right corner spiker into position to receive pass. Receiver
attempts to pass just off center where setter has three options:
normal wide set to strong-side spiker (LF); quick, low set
to center spike (CF); backward wide set to weak-side
spiker (RF). The diagram illustrates the strong-side set.
3. If the first pass is near the center of the court, the
center spiker starts his approach sooner than usual, to take
advantage of a low set. He approaches the net straight on
and always in the center so he can hit on either side of the
block. If the set goes to him, he is ready to take off almost
with the ball so he can stay on top of it and put it away
quickly. This maneuver is designed to keep the two middle
blockers of the opponents occupied until it is too late to get
a solid three-man block on either of the corner spikers. A
two-man block is about all the opponents can muster against
either of the three spikers if the passing and setting are
adequate.
4.
If the first pass is out toward either corner, the setter
still has the three options mentioned above, but he is not in
nearly so effective a position to execute them. He can then
set medium height to center, shoot a fast set to the far corner,
or set directly behind him to the near corner.
