Picking which spot to play on the team?

Question

I recently saw someone say that at tryouts they ask you what spot you'd like to play? Is this the case?

&if so which spot is like a neutral?

Because I havent been on top of my game,

& i'm still not confident in any of the basics meaning

like the bumps & sets.

Could you name all the spots & level of difficulty ?

Answer 1

Yes you are expected to have a specific spot at least in high school...

Well there's:

outside hitter: if you're a good spiker and relatively tall this is a good position- difficult

middle hitter/blocker: again have to be good at spiking and a good blocker!! -difficult

setter: obviously you have to be able to set quickly and accurately.., also you do the most running in the game -difficult

Libero: middle back... you have to be a good bumper and ready to serve receive or receive a spike.. both of which can be very powerful- medium

DS: defense like libero you just bump but be prepared to dive

!! - medium

If you aren't confident in your ability to bump then you should probably play front row but back tends to be the easiest and least tiring

good luck at your tryouts and i hope this helped

Answer 2

Maybe benchwarmer, to watch the people that are good play so you could learn. Hope this helps. =]

Answer 3

At my high school, we had a little bit of say in where we wanter to play but sometimes the coach would move us to a different position if we were better there.

i'll keep it basic for you:

setter: always gets the 2nd touch, and 'sets' the ball for the hitters.  this position is very hard. I played this position for a year and a half and you have to learn to think fast on your feet, move fast and be very precise. I had a lot of back problems when i played here too.

middle blocker: attempts to block EVERY hit. Runs a lot of decoys plays. Has to run alot. should be a good jumper and work for excellent form. I played this for a year and was in great shape haha

outside hitter: plays on the left side of the court. usually one of the better hitters on the team, helps out on blocks, hard position to play. played here 2 years, had the most fun here but worked hard.

opposite: plays on the right side of the court helps out the setter and the middle blocker. medium difficulty.

libero: plays back row only, must be a really good passer on serve recieve, and on defense. usually fast and dive a lot. played here for a couple all star games, easier position as long as you have the basics down.

Answer 4

i would either be a labarro. because they just pass. or be a setter because you can always tip it or set it over the net.

Answer 5

hmm.. i've never had a coach ask me where i wanted to play.. though as you get older you have more of a set position, that you always play. tell the coach you're willing to learn to play any position. that way they'll know you're flexible and ready to play
