Offense

General Principles of Team Offense
Successful team offense depends on teamwork and co-ordination
A good offense must be simple enough to hold errors to a minimum
A good offense must provide for many optional plays
To function at its best even the most powerful offense needs a trace of deception
The style of offense must be adapted to the team personnel
The key player in any offensive maneuver is the setter
The player who fits best into the fast moving offensive systems of today must be an aggressive competitor who can set and spike effectively
