Help with Volleyball Positions?

Question

Can you explain the positions: where they are on the court, and what they are called? Also, which one do you think would be best for me?

- 5'6

-best at passing

-worst at setting

-okay at serving

-always call the ball

Thanks so much!

Answer 1

I definitely think libero is the right position for you-- the libero is kind of a leader on a volleyball team and ALWAYS needs to be talking (and passing is a must!)  I see a lot of other people have already explained what each position does on the court, however I suggest going to www.wikipedia.com and asking your coach/a friend to really help you.  Good luck!!!

Answer 2

middle hitter--at the net; blocks and spikes

setter--at the net; either left side or right side

lebaro(not sure if spelled right) or digger--middle; furthest in the back; most dives or "digs" the lower balls

passer--left and right back row; passes the ball to the setters

Middle hitter is best for taller people who can jump high(like me), you are tall but since ur best at passing, i think u should be a passer. the lebaro can be a passer but they are usually the shorter people becuz they can get to the lower balls faster. to be a passer, you have to always remember to call the ball and since you already do that, i think you should be a passer. Good Luck in choosing and i hope u have fun! VOLLEYBALL ROCKS!!!! :D

Answer 3

I'M GOIN W/ DS

SOMETIMES WHEN U PASS A SERVE U GOTTA OVERHAND PASS IT/SET IT TO THE SETTER SO THEY SET THE BALL

Answer 4

There's the Middle blocker who blocks in the middle. the Outside hitter who hits on the left and when she goes into the back row she plays left back. the setter plays the right side. the Defensive specialist or the libero goes in the back row for girls that aren't that great at passing.

You should look into the DS or Libero position.

But if you can block over the net and work at hitting you could be an outside hitter.

just remeber in volleyball you need to be low have speed and use your head.
