Volleyball Basics

6-2 system

(6 hitters and 2 setters

Setter comes in from back row)

red=back row Green = front row 2

Team 6-2 System

• The 6-2, is a system where all players on the court hit and two players are designated

setters. This means that the setter penetrates from the back row so that there are

always 3 hitters in the front row to set to. The biggest advantage of this system is that

there are always 3 options to set to and create a strong offense in all rotations.

When serving

• Players line up in preparation to immediately switch to their designated positions.

The instance the server contacts the ball, play has started and they may switch.

When receiving service

• Players will line up in their 3-player formation. (crooked smile )
• Once the server contacts the ball, the setter moves to the setting position.
• Setter penetrates to the setter’s position, usually between 5 and 6 at the net.
• The setter set the ball for attack. This location of the set should be to one of the

“lanes” in which there is a front row player. The setter needs to be aware of this.

• Once the ball has gone over the net, all players must switch to their designated

positions.

• There are several ways to set up a 6-2 system for serve receive. This is the one we

will use

Explanation of the diagrams

• The symbols P , M and S represent the designated Power, Middle and Setters players

on the team.

• Those shown in red are the back row and green is front row.
• The S in bold black indicates the Setter as she moves through the rotation.

red=back row Green = front row 4 S M P S M P Rotation #1- Transition to offense ready to attack and cover After opponents serve and nice pass to S, Setter has options to set to outside, middle or right side. All other players come in low and cover Players switch after ball safely over net (P goes to left side, S goes to right side, M stays in middle)

red=back row Green = front row 5 S M P P M S Rotation #1-Transition to defense ready to dig/block opponent’s play Players switch to team play positions. Ps on left side Ms in middle Ss on right side 6-back (middle back plays back) Front row up ready to block Red P,S cover hits and tips

red=back row Green = front row 7 S P M M P S Rotation # Players rotate 1 position so that S is in Position 5 Players have to be back in rotation for serve reception Switch happens after our serve or after we have played a serve from opponent S=Setter M=Middle P=Power Rotation #3-S in position 5 S P M S P M Serve Receive (Sr) 3-player Sr Front row P drops back to Sr S must be behind front row M to the left of back row P.

red=back row Green = front row 8 M S P M P S Defense to dig/block opponent’s play with 1 blocker (not what we aim for…aim for two blockers) S blocks Back row S covers behind block M drops off net and prepares to dig P drops off net and prepares for dig Back row P and M prepare for digging hit Grey area hopefully covered by block

red=back row Green = front row 10

Transition…

“passage from one state, stage, subject, or place to

another …an abrupt change in energy state or level ”

• To transition from serve reception, to offense to defense requires moving up, back, side to side
• staying low, knees bent, arms out ready to take hit is one key to successful transition
• Remember, the “floor is your friend”
• Volleyball play is cyclical in nature and involves the movement from one phase to the next. The team’s success is not only dependent on learning these systems in isolation but also in its ability to transition from one phase to another in a quick, smooth and consistent manner.
