    Player
    Positions
    Setter

    • The setter is the volleyball team's playmaker,


    point guard, or quarterback.
    • His or her job is to run the team's offense and
    create offensive scoring opportunities for the
    team.
    • There will be no rough spikes or technical ball
    movement without the setter. 
    • The setter is required to play both front and back
    row, so he or she must be able to block, serve,
    and defend.

    Outside Hitter
    • He's also known as a wing spiker
    or a left-side hitter. 
    • Along with the libero, he/she is
    the one who is responsible for
    receiving the served ball.
    • He/she is the offensive strategy's
    primary attacker.
    • He/she is a front-row and back-
    row player. This Photo by Unknown author is licensed under CC BY-NC-ND.

    • Passing, attacking, blocking,


    serving, and playing defense are
    all skills that an outside hitter
    must possess.
    Opposite Hitter

    • He's also known as a right-handed batter.


    • He or she is the team's player who scores the most points on a
    regular basis.
    • Passing duties are not assigned to opposing batters. While the
    libero and outside hitters pass the ball and place themselves to
    the left front, right front, or right back playing positions, they
    stand behind the passers on the rotation.
    • Aside from attacking abilities, an opposite hitter must also be
    able to block and defend.

    Middle Blocker

    • He's often referred to as a middle, base, or middle-


    hitter.
    • He/she is the volleyball team's tallest player.
    • His primary responsibility is to halt the opponent's
    offense.
    • The middle blocker constructs a block that either stops
    the ball or helps the team to recover it.
    • Middle blockers must be excellent at blocking,
    attacking, and serving..

    Libero

    • In volleyball, the libero is a relatively new place.


    The libero is a specialist in the back row who is
    only eligible to play on the back court. 
    • The libero wears a different color jersey than the
    rest of the squad and is free to enter and leave the
    game at any time. 
    • The libero can take the place of any player on the
    court, but they are more often used to replace

    middle blockers.
    • The libero is prohibited from serving the ball. 
    Defensive Specialist

    • The defensive specialist's ability to swap out


    any player on the court sets them apart from
    other volleyball positions. This will be
    deducted from the team's total of 12
    substitutes.
    • The defensive specialist works well with the
    libero and focuses on ball control and passing.

    Common Violations
    in Volleyball
    Consecutive Contacts

    •Except while blocking, a player can


    not hit the ball twice in a row unless
    the contacts are made at the same time.
    A player can, however, make
    consecutive contacts on the team's first
    team contact if the contacts are made
    during the same action. 
    Four Hits

    •When a player hits the ball four times before returning it, it is
    considered a penalty. To return the ball, each team has a limit
    of three hits.
    Catch
    Neither catching nor throwing the ball is permitted. The ball must
    bounce back after being struck. 
    Centerline
    Violation
    The centerline that divides the
    court in half is not allowed to be
    crossed or touched by players. 
    Foot Fault
    •The server must not hit the
    court or the ground outside
    the service zone while
    making service contact or
    taking off for a jump serve.
    He/she can step or land
    outside the service zone or
    inside the court after
    making contact.
