As the name indicates, this is a system in which every member of the team is both a spiker and a setter. It operates exactly like the "Four and Two," except that it is much simpler and offers greater deception. As each player reaches the center forward position, he automatically becomes the setter. He sets from this one position only and becomes a spiker again when he rotates to right forward. Advantages over the conventional "Four and Two" are:
1. There is no shifting of position at all. This provides a
much stronger team alignment for receiving the opponent's
serve and setting up the play.
2. Each setter has a comparatively simple assignment. He
must learn to set to only two spikers, and they are always in the same relative position at the net. Practice drills may be easily set up to perfect the teamwork of each "attack team" of three men.
3. Every setter can use his spiking ability to advantage. He is a constant threat to spike the first pass on every play when in the setup position, and many other combinations may be worked out to use him as a spiker or as a decoy.
