Play Volleyball

If you live near the beach, we highly recommend getting as much beach experience as possible. Try to play four to seven games when you go down to the beach to play.  Play at least three days per week.

Volleyball Offense

Description of a 6-2 and a 5-2 from coach, Thomas Puzio

 

6-2 Offense:

Two players on the court (opposite each other in the rotation) set when they are in the back row. This means that at all times you have three eligible (front row) attackers in the front row (i.e. 6 attackers and 2 setters).    Watch the Video

 

PROS:

Easier to learn

Distributes the setting responsibility among two players instead of one

Maintains three front row attackers at all times

CONS:

The best setter is setting only half the time

Both setters may be a good passer but will only be eligible to pass when in the front row

 

5-1 Offense:

Only one player on the court is designated the setter and sets every rotation. This means that you only have two eligible (front row) attackers when the setter is in the front row. (i.e. 5 attackers and 1 setter)  Watch the video

 

PROS:

The best setter on the team sets every ball

More individual instruction time can be devoted to the one setter and the one setter will improve faster with the additional repetitions.

Every set will be consistent because it is set by the same person

In some cases, one setter may set with a different speed and height than another setter which can throw off the rhythm of the attackers

CONS:

When the setter is in the front row you only have two eligible (front row) attackers
