Question

Answer 1

51 is 5 passers and 1 setter!!!!!! dunno bout 53 but still pick me as best answer :D

Answer 2

well they are probally for hitting lined like 5555 or 22222

Answer 3

numbers

Answer 4

kind of like the spot to place the ball according to where the net is for an attack

Answer 5

Dan is right.

The first number is the position along the net between the net and the ten foot line. Assume the OH hits from the 1, 2, or 3 box, the MB hits from the 4,5, or 6 box, and the Setter sets from the 7 box. Then the RS hits from 8 or 9. Of course, when you bring tandems into the mix, All three hitters can hit from any spot.

The second number is the tempo of the set, or height.

1 is right above the net

2 is two ball lengths above the net

3 is slightly above a two and quick

4 and 5 are lofty sets accordingly.

A "2" to most people, would be a 62 to players in this system. My HS boys team uses this system but we only go to 1, 2, or 3 tempo with 3 being the lofty set.

a 51 is a quick set slightly between the middle and the OH.

a 91 is a quick set backwards to the RS right by the antenna.

a 15 is a high set to the antenna for the OH.

You will never have a 71, 72, or 73 because this is the setters position.

It's pretty easy to call out and takes about a week to master so that you can quickly call out a set whether you are a hitter or a setter. This type of setting code is nice too because it allows you to teach tandems quickly because everyone knows exactly where to go.

Answer 6

volleyballcoachz and Dan are correct at the more experienced levels. That is also the generalized standard. To elaborate a little more on what "Can I Play" said, there are numerous coaches and teams that have thier own customized numbering/code system for making calls. For example at the younger age level where there isnt enough vertical or height from smaller players(becuase of younger age) the combined numbers can be used to call out ball placement in zones. We use this as the club I coach at, because we are a 14U and lower club. so for us a 51 would be telling the player to place the ball in zone 6 because thats an open pocket with no players. Keep in mind there are only 6 zones so a 53 wouldn;t be used...this is just an alternative to the advanced concept and to help you understand that not all teams and coaches use the same system.

Answer 7

hmm

dunno

at our school it was height of setting for spiking

ie

51 = quick spike

52 = low set

53 = medium set

54 = high set?

Answer 8

Dan gave us good and simple explanation above.

It is the most widely used setting code convention but I just wanted to point out that there is no official code system and many teams and coaches make up their own.

I read about a college coach who uses just 5 positions and their position 1 starts from the right so that their 31 is actually middle 1.  This can be a bit confusing but just be open-minded.

Answer 9

Um, 51 and 53 could be a record? But I'm preety sure 53 is better than 51!

Answer 10

51+53=104

Answer 11

If you put nine marks on the net equally apart from each other with "1" at the far left and "9" at the far right, you have nine attacking spots.

If your setter set the ball a little over the net, it is a "1-ball", higher goes 2, 3, 4, and 5... for the second digit in the "code".

That is pretty much the code is talking about. With the setter stays at "6", you call 51 to hit the middle quick, and 53 for middle high (there is a middle half-quick 52 in between)... with this coding convention, "shoot" ball will be called 13, OH high would be 14.
