Setting is more than just putting a ball up in the air. In order for your team to have an effective offense you have to learn to place the ball exactly where your hitters expect it.
To do this, teams employ various methods of hand signals. I have played on many different teams and each used their own setting signals. Every time I join a new team I have to relearn a system. Normally, teams will number the location along the net that the ball will be placed. The numbers I use in this articles are what I find to be the most common among all the teams I have played. However, it seems each country and/or region numbers them differently. Although the numbering is different the theory is the same.
Set me a 3!!
The 3, my personal favorite, is delivered with a lower arc. It puts more pressure on the setter to place the set in the correct spot as the hitter has less time to adjust his approach. Of course the opponent also has less time to put up the block. back threeAlso the hitter's can easily adjust to both a line angle or cross court angle depending on what kind of opposition he/she is facing. Once again, another effective variant to this is the back three.
The 2, another one of my favorites, calls for accurate timing on the part of both the hitter and the setter. The set is delivered in such a manner that the hitter jumps about the same time that the setter sets the ball. That way both the setter and the hitter reach their apex at the same time. This is very effective against good blockers as they have very little time to react to the hit. It is also set very close to the net allowing the hitter to pound the ball downward.
Set me The Shooter!!
Set me the 10!!
One other set, is the 10. It is called the 10 because it refers to the ten foot line. Basically the setter sets a 5 but instead of a front line hitter, it is set to a back court hitter who then spikes from behind the 10 foot line. The resulting spike is often a top-spin spike that can fly over the hands of the blockers and smash down in the backcourt.
These are just a few basic sets and set plays. There are dozens of plays to choose from but all of them have their roots in these. The key is to develop a signaling system and practice with your team.
