When the setter is front row in the 5-1,they need the slide play to keep the blockers honest. 6-2 offenses always have a right side hitter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422132707303068153.post-17144075901256757282013-11-07T15:23:58.914-08:002013-11-07T15:23:58.914-08:00I've noticed the Husky setters seldom set eith...I've noticed the Husky setters seldom set either back quicks (e.g., back slides) or quicks away from the setter. Many of the other teams in the Pac 12 effectively use these as part of their regular arsenal (e.g., Stanford, Washington St.). Any idea why they are used only occasionally, if ever? I'm certain that both Jenni and Katy have the ability and, at least one of the Huskie's middles has the speed to run the play.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422132707303068153.post-38513047389976650012013-11-07T09:39:52.832-08:002013-11-07T09:39:52.832-08:00Thanks.

It seems to me that it's a different concept than in any other sport, something that really highlights the importance of coordinated team play and efficient reactions by all parties. Clearly, the more you stay in system, the more you control what you send the other team to deal with.

But the short answer is that each time a setter receives a perfect (or near-perfect) pass from her teammates, the team is "in-system," meaning the setter has the option to set any of her other teammates in almost any way she wishes (high, low, quick, slow, on the net, off the net, etc.) <br />When, however, the setter has to scramble to get to the second ball (because of a less-than-good pass), the team is "out-of-system," and the setter has to resort to whatever works. The default out-of-system set is usually to the outside hitter on the left side.Jack Hamann | Leslie Hamann, nolittlethings.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18046749486153187281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422132707303068153.post-54315856749106287322013-11-06T13:27:38.912-08:002013-11-06T13:27:38.912-08:00Thanks for the great instructions about VB basics....Thanks for the great instructions about VB basics. I love the game, but wasn't schooled in it growing up as I was in other sports. Now, in my mid-60s, women's volleyball is at the top of my list. One other issue would be welcomed by me in explanation, and that is "in system" and "out of system." Thanks for your blog. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
