Two players stand in the middle of the court with their backs facing each other. Meanwhile, two players are on the outside of the court, either side of the players in the middle. The ones in the middle set the ball to the outside and then switch places with the other player in the middle, but keep their backs facing each other.
Both setters must set similar quality balls so they can change their positions easily and have appropriate time to prepare for the next ball.
To increase footwork required, shorten the distance between inside-outside players and have them play quick balls.
FIVB's Strategic Vision 2032 is driving major changes: rule modernization, competition expansion, and coaching requirements that will reshape the sport. Here's what's coming.
Volleyball demands explosive power, quick reactions, and endurance for long matches. Sport-specific conditioning prepares athletes for the unique physical demands of the game while reducing injury risk.
Volleyball is the ultimate team sport - no player can dominate alone. Effective communication before, during, and after every play prevents confusion and creates a cohesive, confident team.
