Positions
There around 4 positions on the court. The 1st position is the outside hitter. The outside hitter hits strong-side which is on the left side of the court. The next position id the middle hitter. The middle hitter is in the front middle of the court. The middle can block, and also hit in the middle or a slide attack on the net. Katie Slay from Penn State, “...is an amazing middle blocker and attacker.” Rose the reporter said. The next position is the setter. A setters main responsibility is to give the hitters a good set. Also the setter has the second contact for each possession, unless the setter calls help. The last position is the Libero/Defensive Specialist. The job the Libero/Defensive Specialists have is to give a good pass to the setter. This position is only back row. The Libero must wear a different color jersey. These positions do a lot of rolling a digging for the ball. All positions may be tricky, but if you really work hard you will be great at them(Ducksters 1-3).
