Volleyball 6-2 offense?

Question

I'm in volleyball and this is the first year we have to do the 6-2 offense. I don't get it at all! can anyone explain it to me?

Answer 1

I would assume that you were playing 4-2 before, with two setters whoever in the front row would set for two other front row players/hitters.

In 6-2 you also have two setters, but the one in the back row would come over the 10-ft line and do most settings (or call help). All three of your front row players are hitters so that they have more chance to hit one-on-one instead of seeing double-block.

When playing 6-2, your back row players have to be very mobile and can cover the entire court, otherwise the hitter would leave a big hole behind him/her. Also the setter cannot dump the ball. When server-receive you would want to "hide" your setter so that s/he doesn't have to take the first hit (pass).

Answer 2

Let me explain it easily:

6-2 broken down:

6 = After/during a full rotation, you'll have/had 6 hitters in the front row.  (Which means at all times you have your 3 hitters up front)

2 = You have two setters which will always come out of the back row.

As compared to a 5-1 which means you have 5 hitters (cause your setter takes a spot in the rotation and is by him/herself)

Answer 3

6-2 is when you always have three hitters in the front row for the setter to set to. the setter is always back row. if you rotate and the setter becomes a front row player, they either become a right-side hitter or the sub out for a right side hitter. the new setter would be in the 1 position. the setter would play back row defense, then run up to the front row so they can set the ball to their three hitters. also, the three hitters only stay in their position. for example, the middle blocker will always stay a middle blocker throughout the rotations where she is in the front row. same with the outside and the opposite (left side and right side hitter). and when your team is serving, the hitters in the front row would stand in their spot on the court, then  switch to their position once the ball is served. for example, say your outside (left side) is in spot 2, your middle is in spot 3, and your opposite (right side) is in spot 4. they would stay in their spots until the ball is served, then run to their position. it may sound confusing, but once you actually start playing, it gets way easier, and believe me its way more fun than a 4-2, and much more effective.

Answer 4

that means you have a two setter rotation where your setter will always be setting from the back row

Answer 5

6 Hitters, 2 Setters. The setters set from the back row and usually play RS (right side) while in the front row. Be more specific on what you don't understand? Is it the switching positions? What did you run before a 6-2?

Answer 6

Ok, I play a 6-2 also, and it's my first year.

So 6-2 stands for 6 hitters, and 2 setters. this means that 4 people on the court are only hitters, and 2 are hitters and setters.

The 2 setters will be opposite eachother in the rotation. (ex. one setter in 1 and 1 setter in 4.)

You take the serve, everybody switches... bla bla bla.

So now the 2 setters are wherever your team plays them on the court, usually the weak side.

When you guys pass the ball, the setter in the back court, and the setter in the front court switch. Now, the setter that switched in (the setter that was previously in the back row, who is now in the front row) can set 3 different hitters. The setter that is now in the back row, can hit. They had to switch because the anybody in the back row can't jump when they put a ball over the net. This also means that the setter can't jump when they tip a ball over the net.

Answer 7

ok i had the same problem

1. normaly you have 3 people in the back row

2. but now the setter goes in front of the 10 foot line from the back row to set.

3. So you only have 2 people in the back row to dig up balls.

4. we also usually had 2 setters on the court and the 2nd setter would play right side hitter (that was me) and set anything the setter could not get to.

Answer 8

a 6/2 offense means that their are to setters on the court

your usual setter will have an opp.

your 4 will have an opp.

your 2 will have an opp.

say you are a 4 and you rotate in the middle when the ball is served you will run back to your 4 spot.

its very easy

wat ever pois. you play you we run back to your orig. spot that only occurs when you are in front row

i have played volleyball for 2 years its great !
