There are six players on each team, and there are six rotational spots on the court that

must be taken during each servethree in the front row: Left-Front (LF), Center-Front (CF), and RightFront (RF); and three in the back row: Left-Back (LB), Center-Back (CB), and Right-Back (RB).

The player in the Right-Back (RB) spot serves. The optimal positions in the front row are an outside hitter on the left side, a middle blocker playing in the middle, and a setter (or opposite if the setter is in back row) on the right. Every time a team wins back the serve, the players on that team rotate one spot in a clockwise direction.

Setter: Passing specialist who usually hits the second ball of the rally to set up a spike for a teammate. The setter is always close to the net, faces the left sideline, and can set the ball forward or backward to the hitter that is ready to attack.

Outside hitter: Attacker who spikes the ball over the net from the front left position. Also blocks spikes from the other team.

Middle blocker: Defensive specialist who assists the other two front-row players in blocking all shots from the opposing team. Also spikes ball from the middle of the court.

Opposite: Attacker who plays in the front right of the court when the setter is in the back row.

Libero: Back-row defensive specialist who has fast reaction time and is an excellent passer. Specializes in receiving serves and attacks by bumping or digging the ball. Wears a different colored jersey, does not serve or block, and can substitute unlimited times in and out of the back row without waiting for the referees approval. This position was created in 1998.

1. SERVICE -The opening skill in the game. There are 3 types of service --underhand, overhand and sidearm. 2. PASSING A served ball or any ball coming from the opponents side is received or stopped by the other team with any part of the body, but the most usual and effective way is with the hands.

a. UNDERHAND PASS-used when the ball is received below the shoulder. b. OVERHAND PASS-used when the ball is received above the shoulder. 3. ATTACK/SPIKE-done by hitting the ball over or above the net with any strong force or smash such that the ball falls in a downward direction.

a. HAND SPIKE or STRONG SPIKE-is expected to push back the blocking hands or course the ball to go out of control after hitting the blocking hands. b. SOFT SPIKE-the ball rolls off the hands of the body of the blocker so that faults are committed.

BLOCKING-is the effort of the defensive team to stop a spike. This is done by putting the fingers and hands above the net and in front of the ball so that the spiked ball may be returned to the spikers court, or the ball may fall on the blockers court with diminished or lesser force so that the other players may be able to handle it.

More than one player can block the ball at the same time. This needs proper timing. The blockers usually stay two or three feet away from the net ready to jump high enough to reach the area where the ball will be batted.
