Player Movement


Today we gonna explain how the players should move on the volleyball court. As you can see in the diagram the positions are numbered from 1 to 6: players 4,3,2 on the front row and players 5,6,1 on the back row. Player 3 the middle blocker should always be on the middle so you can not move past the Player 4 on the left neither you move past Player 2 on the right. Players 4 and 2 cannot move sideways to be the middle player. Now Player 5 on the back row can move up the court as long as Player 4 is in front. As Player 6 should always be behind Player 3. And Player 1 to 2.

The front row players: the opposite, the middle blocker and the outside hitter are the primary attackers. They can attack whether the ball is overhead or below the top of the net. The back row player, mainly the outside hitter attacks from behind the back row line. They can also move to the front row where they can send the ball over if the ball is below the top of the net. If the Libero is at the front zone and makes a pass, you can hit the ball so long as the ball is below the top of the net. If the Libero is outside the front zone and makes a pass, you can freely attack the ball.

I would rename Player 2 as the Adjacent Hitter AH in addition to the Player 4 the Opposite Hitter OH and Player 3 the Middle Hitter MH. The Backrow Hitter will be called BH. OH sets are slower since the passes are long but these are the highlight hits, the MH kills you with quick hits and decoy plays and the AH hits with running spikes. My best positional players are:
