The duties of a digger are fairly simple . You are to dig or pass the ball up to the setter so the setter can set up a hitter to spike . A digger can serve and can hit if they play the front row or are multitalented and hit from the back row like a libero may do , but they will never set .

The word digging in volleyball stands for when you are going down and hit the floor with your kneepads and hit the floor and bump the ball!!! Also most people call the person out in the "left back" they are called diggers which they dig the balls they get on there knees and hit it!!
**A "dig" is when a ball is spiked from the opposing side, and a player "dives" to get or pass up the ball, and is successful.
The digger is usually in the front of the court and digs out the ball when it strips down the net to bring it back up in the air.
