Volleyball is an all-round easy game to get involved in, its

simple requirements are a ball, a net and players to form two
teams with an equal number of players on both sides, who will
compete against each other. Often played between family and
friends, be it for fun or a wager to make it more exciting, you

Segment Title 2 Volleyball Positions and Basic Skills

Front Row: Hitters and Blockers

● Rightside Hitter - This position is normally played by the

setter if there are two setters playing.

● Middle Blocker - This hitter is normally tall and able to

block the other teams’ spikes.

● Outside Hitter - This hitter is not necessarily tall, but

powerful.

Back Row

● Setter - In volleyball, the setter plays the role of “setting”

the ball into the correct area so that the hitter can make a
clear and effective hit/spike. The setter usually takes the
second hit so that a play consists of a pass, set, and then a
 spike.

● Libero - The libero is a defensive specialist. This player

typically wears the same jersey but is opposite the color
that the entire team is wearing. This is to indicate to the
referees that he/she is the libero. The libero has special
substitution privileges and is preferred to receive the
team’s hit/spike.

court.
● There are 2 basic serve: underhand serve and
overhand serve.

Synthesis
Here are the module’s key ideas:

● Volleyball was first developed by William G. Morgan, after

graduation from Springfield College in Massachusetts in
1895.
● Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players
are separated by a net.
● 1964, the game volleyball was introduced in and became
an Olympic sport during the Tokyo Olympic.
● Passing is simply getting the ball to someone else on your
team after it’s been served or hit over the net by the
opposing team.
● Spiking is the act of slamming the ball in a downward
motion across the volleyball net to the other team’s side of
the court.
 ● Blocking is another important skill, although it’s probably
the most expendable of the fundamentals. Still, it adds a
great dimension to the game, keeping the other team on
their toes, so to speak. By timing it right, you can jump up
and deflect or block the opponent’s attack before it even
crosses the volleyball net, which can take them by surprise
and give your team an easy point.
● Digging is a defensive maneuver in volleyball that can
save your team from an offensive spike or attack.
● Set is a tactical skill in which a ball is directed to a point
where a player can spike it in the opponent's court.
● The setter is the main contributor to the offense of the
volleyball team. One of the requirements of the setter is
having a delicate touch to set the ball perfectly for one of
the attacking players.
● The outside hitter is also known as the left-side hitter and
is the lead attacker in the offensive strategy.
● Also known as the right-side hitter, these players need to
be a perfect balance of both offense and defense.
● The middle blocker, sometimes known as the middle hitter,
is the tallest player on the volleyball team.
● The libero can become confusing for non-volleyball
players. They can only play on the back row of the court,
and because of this, are the ideal person to receive a hit
from the opposite team.
