What are various posiyions in volleyball?

Answer 1

The standard volleyball there are 6 positions on the court, but in other varieties the number can be different, e.g. 2, 3, 4, 9.

The position of each player is fixed only at serve, thereafter players may move about.

The three players in front of the 3-m line are front-row players with no limitations.

The three other players are back-row players, and they are not allowed to spike or block balls higer than the net, unless jumping from behind the line. Serve is always performed by a back-row player. Each time the serve is won, or a player has made 4 consecutive serves, the positions are shifted clockwise: back-row players go left, front-row to the right, and in case of extra players, the last front player leaves the court and a new one come to serve position.

The positions are not determined by function as in football (Am. soccer) or Ice Hockey, but players may stand in favourable places according to skills.

Those good at setting, i.e. laying up the ball for spike (smash attack), are called setters and may stand close to the net. Those good at spiking are called hitters, and two may stand close to the net, and others may spike from behind the line (backspike).

Those playing close to the net and specialised in defense may be called blockers.

In the back-row, one player may be temporarily exchanged to a libero player, specialised in defense, not allowed to spike.

A formation with 4 hitters and 2 setters is called 4-2, where the setters are in diagonally opposite places, always leaving 2+1 in the front.

The formation 6-2 is similar, but the setters are also hitters.

5-1 is a compromise of the two, with only one player dedicated to setting regardless of where he might be on the court, being able to run around quickly to have the second hit after the reception (typically a bump). Opposite to the setter is the "opposite hitter", with special tasks, often the most skilled of the team.

In advanced teams there are usually 2 middle hitters/blockers, and 2 outside(left-side) hitters, who attack starting from behind the left sideline.

Answer 2

there isn't a BEST position.

every position matters

and this is because if you don't have ANY1 that can pass you wont be able to get the ball 2 the setter OR anywhere but the floor

and if you don't have a setter you wont be able to hit

and if you don't have a hitter it will be SIMPLE 4 the other team so return the ball

All in all every position matters.

Answer 3

In volleyball I am all around. I play every position. I never get taken out. I am a server, passer, setter, and a hitter.

Answer 4

In volleyball you can be an outside hitter a middle hitter a backside hitter a setter a libaro or somtimes there are people who only hit in the back row.

Answer 5

the same that serves in tennis
