Volleyball game today?

Question

what's a nice way to tell the setter to set me up? i'm on a church team and these twins are on our team. one of them is a setter but sets no one up. like she doesn't understand her job or she just bumps or sets it over but sets no one up. what's a nice way to say let me spike!

Answer 1

go up to her and say

if we want to win we need to be spiking the ball

ask her nicely to say could you set me some during the game

Answer 2

most people here have the idea. most setters go by a rule of thumb that the first one to call the ball gets the set, and if no one calls anything, they put the ball over. yell the kind of set you want, be it a 4, 5 or 1. if they still don't set you, tell them during a timeout, "hey, i want to get set. if i don't get set, then i can't hit, and if i can't hit, i'll get annoyed. try to set the ball instead of just putting it over every single time. if you don't set our hitters, then we can't win." this should make her realize that setting the ball does not mean putting the ball over the net every time. also, remind her that each side gets three hits, not two.

Answer 3

I was a spiker on my team..and we had the same problem with our setter. We would just start yellin "here here here here" then  when she finally realized we were talking to her should would try to get it to us. But if she couldn't she would just tip it over.

Answer 4

Just say, "set me up!" before she contacts the ball so that she knows that you want it!

Hope this helped!

Answer 5

what a dumb setter. just tell her before the game. i'm a setter and theirs a few girls i dont set up because i no they will mess up. buut if thats not the situation then idk. just call your position like "outside! outside!" because my 1 rule is never set unless they call it. if they don't call it, send it over. don't really yell "here" because idk where "here" is sometimes.  so be obnoxious and yell your position.
