Below is a volleyball set diagram. It outlines the different sets we used when I coached collegiately at Brown<\/a>, and how we defined them. This is based on a system popularized by the USA men back in the 1980s. They divided the net into 9 zones of 1 meter each. On top of that they added set heights ranging from 1 to 5, with 1 being the lowest (fastest). The zones and heights were then combined to provide a two-digit specifier for each set. Thus, a standard high set to the outside (left) hitter is a 14 – zone 1, height 4. A middle quick is a 51 – zone 5, height 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, for practical purposes most teams do not use the two digit calls in play. They tend to shorten them up to call sets quickly in a fast-paced play. In our case, we used letters to call the 4 different types of quick sets we used. You can see below how we did this, as well as the back row zones system we used based on colors – white, brown, and red from left to right as you’re facing the net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This, of course, is just one system and one volleyball set diagram. There are loads of variations. In my coaching at Svedala<\/a> in Sweden, for example, the “rip” was equivalent to the 31 from the chart above. A 3 was the 32 set, which is pretty common usage. Our A was a 71 (back quick). We called the “hut” a “go” (which is what a lot of teams call the fast outside set these days). In contrast, at Midwestern State<\/a> the “rip” was a back row attack in Zone 1. Then there’s the zero tempo<\/a> concept some people now use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have always found, though, that the underlying 2-digit base structure makes it very easy to work out different types of naming approaches or hand signals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
