Best Answer

they are all different plays, but here is the difference:

a 4-1 means there is one setter and four hitters

a 5-1 means there is one setter and five hitters - this one is the toughest but most fun

A 6-2 means there are two setters and six hitters; the setters can also hit in this offense

In the few seconds between when the ball is given to the other team and when it is served over the net, our team makes the choice to try and give us the strongest defense against the serve.

By running the 6:2 defense you remove your setter from coming into contact with the first ball and put them in position to set up a hit.

The first move is the setter, who steps into the front row and "pushes up" the player in front of her. Pushing up is when the setter is in the back row and moves to the front row, for a defensive purposes, standing directly behind the player who is playing in front of her. Moving the setter is taking her out of the way of the first touch with the ball. This sets it up so when the second touch comes the setter can take it and try to get help get a hit.

In the next second after the setter has moved the two remaining back row players, depending on their location, slide to fill the gap that was left. This opens up a spot opposite to where to setter is currently. At the same time the girl in the front row, farthest from the setter, will step into the back row. Therefor filling the gap and putting three passers in the back for serve receive

This is an effective system for a few reasons. When you take the setter out of the back row it gives you three different people to give hitting opportunities to. Verses with a 5:1 the setter is the hitter on the weak, or left, side. This only allows for the middle and strong, or right, side hitters to be on the offence. Also with the 6:2 your setter is always in the back row. With it you have not one but two setters on the court together. They must be opposite of each other though for this play to work. As soon as the current setter rotates to the front then she becomes a hitter and the other setter takes over the position.

It is a volleyball formation/rotation that includes 2 different setters (whichever one is in the back row sets).
