The setter, always on the front line, becomes a blocker on every defensive play. Some weaknesses of the "Five and One" are listed below: 1. The entire offensive burden is squarely on the shoulders of the setter. He is the quarterback on every single play. He is also in a key position as cover-up man and as a blocker. It takes quite a volleyball player to fill this assignment. 2. With three spikers hitting or faking on each play, the offensive team is short one man in the important task of covering the spiker against the block. 3. Opponents soon learn to serve to the setter as he is shifting from a back-line position to his post at the net. This forces a weak situation for the all-important first pass. 4. This intricate system requires superior ball-handling skill by the entire team. Before selecting the "Five and One" as an offensive system, teams must face these questions: (1) Do we have the personnel necessary to use this system effectively? (2) Does the advantage of increased deception offset the increased possibilities for mistakes?
