*****************************************

Volleyball may be new to some of y'all, so hope this helps you to understand a little about it. It's not much, but may be this can be a little help to really relate to few scenes in the story.

Here we go:

Different Positions/Roles:

1. Outside Hitter (Position-4/5*):

The outside hitter, also known as the left-side hitter, is considered the focal point of the offense and typically performs most of the attack hits. An outside hitter must be able to have good back row skills and a good jumping ability because they sometimes will hit from the front and back row depending on where the set is coming from. Outside hitters will sometimes remain in the game for all rotations. On defense, they will receive the serve and block with the middle hitter. They are also considered one of the primary passers.

2. Opposite Hitter (Position-2*):

An opposite hitter, also know as a right-side hitter, is considered the most versatile because they can excel on offense and defense. They will not only hit the ball from the front and back row but also dig for quick attacks and set the ball if the setter is unable to do it. During defense, they will also help on blocks with the middle blocker.

3. Middle Blocker/Hitter (Position-3*):

The middle blocker tends to be the tallest person on the team. While on defense, they will cover the center area on the net and try to block any attack with the opposite and outside hitter. On offense, the middle hitter must be able to read the set and adjust. They will also act as a decoy in order to spread out the opposing blockers.

4. Setter (Position-1*):

The setter is the player who runs the team's offense. They will try to receive the second touch and set it for the opposite or outside hitter. A setter needs to have strong communication skills and must be able to make quick decisions during a match. They need to be able to read the opposing defense and use controlled sets to plan attacks. A setter must also be ready to receive a serve, block, and dig a ball.

5. Libero (Position-6*):

The libero focuses on defense and will only play the back row. Since they typically receive the first touch, liberos must have great passing and defensive skills. The first touch needs to turn into a good pass to the setter. You will often find a libero in a different colored jersey and can come in and out of the game without counting against the team's substitutions. A libero cannot block, set from the front, or attack the ball above the net.
