  2. You set it in the middle, just about 1-2 feet above the net.  The middle blocker runs along with the pass and jumps as the setter sets it.  They sort of hit it out of the setter's hand.

    4 or Hut- A set to the left side.

    Go- A low, inside set to the left side.

    1- Low middle set.  The middle blocker goes up as if they will hit a 1 every time to either hit it or trick the other team.

    Tandum- Same place as a 2 set, but the outside hitter (left side) hits it after the middle blocker goes for the 1.

    X- Same as tandum, but the opposite hitter (right side) hits it.

    2- A high middle set, rarely used in competitive volleyball.

    3- The middle blocker shifts over about five feet, the setter shoots it at to them at about the same height as a 1.  Same timing as a 1, the middle blocker follows the pass.

    5- A normal set to the right side.

    Red- A low set to the right, run slightly quicker.

    D- Back row hit on the right side, 3 feet in front of the 10' line, the hitter jumps across the attack line to hit it, but must jump behind the line.

    Pipe- Back row middle set, same placement as a D.

    Bick- Back row quick, a low set to middle back, about five feet in front of attack line.

    A- Left side back row hit, never used because the libero is usually there and they can't attack above the net, but it's legal when the middle blocker is in for their serving rotation.

    Those are all the types of sets.  Some teams use different words to call for sets in order to deceive the other team (for example, some teams have called a D a C, some call 3s a shoot or a 63), but these are the official hit names.

  3. To set one, assuming that you can get a good-looking pass, you need to

    1> beat the ball to the spot;

    2> wait for your Middle Hitter to jump up;

    3> push the ball to his/her swinging palm.

    If you "throw the ball up" before s/he reaches the hitting spot, it would be a "2", which is one ball higher than the "1" set.

    There are other sets, but typically running at mid-adv levels are:

    a) "1" (some call "51"). The setter sets the ball right in front of him (or on top of him), with the ball just over the net;

    b) "2" (some call "52"). The setter sets the ball right in front of him (or on top of him), with the ball about "two balls" (some say two feet) over the net;

    c) "3" (some call "shoot"). The setter "shoots" the ball almost parallel to the top of the net (2-3 feet higher than the top of the net) to the far left end for the hitter to swing a quick hit.

    d) "4" (some call "14").  The setter sets the ball four feet higher than the net, with a curve, to the far left end for the Outside Hitter.

    e) "5" (some call "95"). The setter sets the ball five feet higher than the net, with a curve, to the far right end for the Right-Side Hitter.

    f) "slice". The setter sets the ball to the spot behind him, about 2 feet hight than the net, and the middle hitter runs to the spot and hits the ball with a one foot jump.

    g) "ten" (some call "pipe"). The setter sets the ball high-high on top of the 10-ft line, for a back row player to hit... from the back row.

    h) others...

    By the way, different teams could call different numbering for their plays, and listed above are just some typical calls used in west coast (at least.

    Lots of teams mark the net with 9 hitting spots, with 1 at the far left, 9 at the far right, and the setter at 6. They then put the hight of your set into the second digit and make it a call, such as 13, 14, 51, 52 (just mentioned above).

    Hope these helped a little bit.

  4. a quick  

  5. When you set one, it is when the setter sets the ball to the right front.

    When you set two, it is when the setter sets the ball to the middle front

    when you set three, it is when the setter sets the ball to the left front.

    This is what my coach told me, i hope it is the same with your team

  6. it means that you need to set a ball to the middle about a foot or a foot in a half above the net.

    if you can it is best if you jump set while setting it, if you can't that is okay to.

    A four is a regular high ball to the outside

    Also someone might ask you to set a 3 which is a soft shoot to the outside, which is a nice lofty ball  about two-three feet above the net to the ouside

    A two is the regular set to the middle

    A back set usually has a different number for every team you play.
