Answer 9

Every answer that is before mine is wrong.  The setter mostly plays on the weak side in most of the teams offensives.  The center front players is called the middle hitter, or just the middle.    I should know this because I play college volleyball and in fact am a middle hitter.

Answer 10

Middle/blocker (taller person or someone who can jump up pretty high)

Answer 11

offense~ middle hitter

defense~ middle blocker

FYI:: the setter is based to the middle hitter/blocker. the setter is hardly ever in the middle unless you are playing a random pick-up game.

Answer 12

That would be my position middle blocker...but it depends on the play and at what point the play is in. Usually its eiter the middle blocker but more advanced plays will have switching sides.

Answer 13

middle blocker

Answer 14

Middle Blocker.

Answer 15

For beginners, young players, or pickup games, the one in the middle front is the setter. For more advanced team, the setter got moved to right front, or is coming from back row, and the middle front player is "middle hitter" during offense, and "middle blocker" during defense... which is the position I have been playing during the first half of my volleyball life :)

I never needed a libero to sub me when I got rotated to the back row, so I was switched to middle back to cover the end line from corner to corner. I expanded my role to "cornerS" as I was able to dive into any corner when needed.

Answer 16

center in the front is the middle blocker (some just call it the middle) the middle player in the back is just a back row player  which many times will be a libero or a defensive specialist

Answer 17

Middle Blocker :)

It's not the b/c the setter can be front row and back row, and it usually stays to the right in base, not middle.

Answer 18

that person is called the setters!

Answer 19

its a middle hitter/blocker.

its not the setter. The setters base is to the right of the middle hitter.
