How do you play 6 1 in volleyball ( im a setter)?

Question

also can anyone offer me a good website about where to learn the setters position in the rotation

Answer 1

Setter is the most important position.

Setting is always a tough skill to master for most players. Being a setter, you have to move fast, fast enough to give yourself time to prepare for a good set and look over your opponents at the same time.

Keeping the ball in the front of your forehead is the key to success. Keep the ball low and as close to your face as possible.

Try not to make contact with the ball too high up. Keeping the ball low give yourself more time to handle the ball for a better set. At the moment of contact, keep your fingers soft with your thumbs apart from other fingers, push the ball out by fully extending your arms until the ball leaves your hands automatically.

Stand close to the net and try to keep your shoulder perpendicular to the net, set the ball out parallel to the net and try not to create an angle between the ball and the net.

If the pass is far off the net that you have to adjust the set, always face the pole to set forward or with your back facing the pole for the sets behind and adjust the ball to set close to the net.

You may try out this website but the best is refer back to your respective coach.

Practical is the best...rather then you listen to so many opinions & don't know is workable to you??

Good luck & happy learning!

Answer 2

The 5-1 rotation the setter stays setter throughout the whole rotation and doesn't become a hitter.  It requires quickness and a watchful eye.  Get a book or a video, there is too much to explain online.  Once you get the rotation, copy it down on paper and you will be more likely to remember it.  The 6-2 has 2 setters and when one is not setting they are playing another position (FRHitter).

Answer 3

there is no such thing as a 6-1 offense. that would mean you have 6 hitters and 1 setter, ( 7 players) impossible!!!

there is a 5-1 in which you set all the time no matter were you are on the court.

there is a 6-2 which means you set in the back row, and hit in the front row ( meaning another player will set from the back row.)

How to run a 5-1 or 6-2 from the setter position is never "easy" but it is possible for you to learn how quickly.  

Your team will need to pass in order to be effective, the better the passing the better and easier running the offense becomes.

If your running a 6-2 you only need to worry about the back row     (as you will just be a hitter in the front, and typically the 3rd option as a hitter as well) you will play right back defense, and your team should force the ball away from you so that you can play the second ball instead of the 1st.

If your team is receiving serve you will stack up to the player dirctly in front of you, as soon as the serve begins you are allowed to move into position( move to the 3' x 3' setters square asap) get there early set up, and have an idea on who you want to set early.

( always call your play or tell your hitters what type of set you will be setting BEFORE the server serves the ball) that way you can be focused on getting in postion, and making the set..

If you want a more detailed explanation email me directly at generations sports club @ yahoo .com. I can take you around a rotation and expalin were and why you should be in certain area's.

As for web sites just do a search in your computer for "running a 6-2 offense" this should provide you with some links to vball drills groups.

Answer 4

the setters job is pretty easy.

you always want to be on the right side (if you are facing the net)

when you're playing back row: when the ball is on the opponents side get in right back. the moment it gets on your team's side get up at the net on the right side in a position to set.

when you're playing front row: you are no longer the setter! you are now a hitter. again you must always get on the right side and be ready to hit. you are also the back up setter in case the current setter can't get to the ball in time.

6-1 is really easy to learn but kinda hard to explain. i dont know any sites that have good diagrams because most of them are really confusing. talk to your coach about it. its not hard to learn. it just takes some practice and getting used to.

hope that helps!
