There are three main catagories of volleyball positions:
Defense- defensive players play in the backrow and are passers and servers. They are often called defensive specialists or DSs.
Setter- the setter can play in the front of back row. Their job is to receive the pass from the defensive and set it up to a teammate using an overhead pass.
Hitter- Hitters or Atacks play in the front row. They receive the pass from the setter and spike it down on the other team. Hitters also block.
