Top Three Offensive Systems Playing volleyball in high school our coaches never told us about the different offensive systems, all we knew is that while on the court we had two setters, three hitters, a backrow and a libero. The setters would be in opposite positions, i.e if the first setter was in position 1 then the second setter would be in 4, and our offense would work around that format. But after doing a little research I found that there were offensive setups called systems the 5-1, the 6-2, and the 4-2. The 5-1 is a system designed for There is one setter that has the setting responsibilities all the way around and five hitters. I like this offense because it is easier for one person to run the offense and it is easier for the hitters to get used to one setter instead of adjusting to two different setters. But with every system there are a couple of flaws that come along with this offense, for example if the setter is short there's a possible blocking disadvantage. As well as the fact that there's only 2 attackers in 3 rotations.
The first volleyball offense to cover is the 4 2 offense. This means that there are 4 hitters and 2 setters on the floor. The two setters will play opposite each other and they will set when they are on the front row leaving two hitters at all times on the front row.
This type of offense has its limitations. First of all, since the setter is always setting when they are on the front row, there are only two attackers. This limits the amount of plays that can be run and it becomes real easy to identify where the set is going to go. Sure the setter can dump the ball and in a sense can be an attacker, but the blockers on the other team can cheat over since there are only two real attackers. Double and triple blocks are going to be very common on this type of an offense. The next type of offense is the 6 2 offense. This means that there are 6 hitters and 2 setters. The main difference between the 6 2 offense and the 4 2

    It has often been stated in the Nation Football League that offense sells tickets while defense wins championships. That being said most teams implore either some version of the 3-4 schemes or the 4-3 schemes. While both defenses consist of a seven man front (7 players within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage) and used primarily to shut down opposing offenses running games we will examine the two to see which one is overall more effective in our guest to reach the promise land.…

    Although, the last year’s super bowl champions, the Patriots use the 4-3 defense. If you take a look at all the teams who record is 5-0, they all use a 3-4 defense. Football’s 3-4 defense has become a very popular defense in the last couple of years thanks to teams like the Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers and the Kansas City Chief. Since the 3-4 defense can cause mass for quarterbacks, while also stopping the run by filling the gaps it is the best…

    Swish! The sound of a basketball falling perfectly through the net is one of the most beautiful sounds in sports. However, scoring is not the only important part of basketball. Defense is also a major part of basketball, and the full-court press is one of the most exciting aspects of playing defense. One of the most famous full court presses was created by Coach Nolan Richardson at the University of Arkansas and was known simply as “40 Minutes of Hell”. Richardson’s defensive philosophy of putting pressure on the ball handler the entire length of the court eventually lead to Arkansas winning the National Championship in 1994. The three most important things to understand about full court presses are how a man press works, how a zone press works, and the significance of proper communication both on and off the court.…

    It’s game seven of the NBA Finals down comes Curry early in the shot clock he pulls up and shoots a three and drains it. Next possession Derrick Rose comes down does a couple dribble moves and blows past his defender and throws down a knee breaking dunk. Final seconds of the game down comes Rajon Rondo his defender sags off so he drives and finds a wide open Kevin Durant in the corner for a game winning shot. That is how you would see the three different types of offensive players play. The Shooter, the slasher and the passer all have a different play style and different focuses on offense. Which leads me to my first offensive play style the shooter.…

    In this paper I will describe the head to toe mechanics of what a normal, athletic volleyball block consists of. This movement may seem simple when watching a player perform it on the court; however it is a very complex muscular movement. There will be three phases I will explain in this movement. First the athletic position or “start phase”, next the jumping motion or “active phase” and finally will be the landing known as the “ending phase”. I will be describing every motion, as well as what plane the muscles are moving in and whether the movement is isometric, concentric or eccentric.…

    On offense, I find the up-tempo game more enjoyable to watch and coach. I instill confidence in my players to fast break at every opportunity. The key to the fast tempo game is recruiting players who have the athletic ability to perform. I attempt to recruit the kind of athlete who can play this style of game. I am aware, however, that the offense needs to be adjusted to the abilities of the players. My teams have the flexibility to succeed when slow-down play is…

    The action begins with a head-to-head battle between the pitcher and the batter, who is positioned in the batter's box. The batter's box is the place where the batter stands when ready to receive a pitch from the pitcher. The aim for the offense is to score more runs than the opponents runs by hitting a thrown ball from the pitcher with a bat and arriving safely to a counter-clockwise series of four bases: first, second, third and home plate. A run is scored when the runner advances past the three bases and returns "home", as home plate is set next to the batter's box.…

    Who’s to say that it doesn’t work out the other way in the offense’s favor? Realistically, at the end of every game, people look at the score board and see one thing to determine the winner, the final score. Points are the only thing that affects the final score, the number of defensive stops your team has does not add to your score. The numbers of turnovers steals do not add to a team’s score nor directly subtract from an opposing team’s score. In the end, the only way to ensure a win is to place more points on the score board that the opposing team, whether it is 101-100 or 1-0…
