Answer 1

i have been playing volleyball for 6 yrs and hope to recieve a scholarship for it. It is a team sport and everybody has to work together as one.

Here are the positions:

Outside Hitter-An outside hitter should be a good passer, because she is passing in most of the rotations with the libero. The outside hitter is also expected to get most of the sets if there isn't a good pass. In case of a bad pass, or a bad set, the hitter should make the decision to take a good swing at the ball, or just make a good steady shot to keep the ball in play, and give her team an opportunity to defend it.

Middle Blocker-A middle blocker is most important in blocking. In other positions they are only responsible for blocking "their" hitter, but middles have to cover the entire net, close the block that is set up by the other blocker, and penetrate the net to prevent a ball from crossing the plane of the net. The expectations of a middle is to run a fast offense. This requires that we transition fast from defense and are ready to hit on every play. We are a decoy on some plays in that we draw the other teams blockers away from the outside and right side to create a "one on one" situation. In general, a middle has to do everything, and do it fast to stay out of the way of the setter.

Libero(my favorite!)-The Libero is a purely defensive player, who is, unlike other defensive specialists, allowed to play for both middle blockers. Libero in Italian literally means "free", and this position is called Libero because you can run in and out without the ref calling a sub. This allows for more team substitutions to go on during the game. The Libero can serve for only one of the middles, and when the other is serving, is when the Libero must step off the court. To be easily identifiable by the refs, the Libero wears a different jersey, usually in the opposite colors from the rest of the team. As a Libero you are expected to lead the defense for the team. It is expected that you will touch most of the balls on defense and therefore, are a large part of the action.

Setter-The setter handles every second ball enabling the connection between the defense and the offense. She must coordinate the offense by analyzing the other team's weaknesses and her own team's strengths, to determine effective plays and strategies for success in each situation. Ultimately a setter is expected to constantly analyze the game and act to maximize the potential of her hitters to win the match.

Also, make sure that when you are passing a ball to not swing your arms and to keep a good steady balance with your legs. Your arms and legs should make a triangle when you pass. And to have a successful hit swing through with your arm and flick your wrist.

If u try your best and have fun with it, I'm sure that you will fall in love with the sport. =]

volleyball is so much fun! it's a game played with each side having 6 players on the court at a time, each player has their own positions they play and that will be determined by your skill and ability. I'm short so naturally i'm a setter i'm too short to be a hitter lol..the object of the game is to keep a volley going volley is to keep the ball going back and forth of course you only have 3 hits per side and a lot of rules that you will be taught in practice..dont worry just go be sure you have knee pads and have fun!
