Finding the setter

[jkumpire]

Scrapper,

Think of 1,2,3, as RF, CF, LF.

The setter will usually go to the RF position (1) or CF position (2), depending on the situation and rotation. Then she sets to a position 1, 2, or 3. Sometimes with a call, other times w/o a call, which allows the person in that slot to know the ball is set for her. Sometimes, if the setter is coming from the back she cal set for all three positions.

This is why at times you will see RF and LF positions swich as soon as the serve is hit, to get the setter or big time hitter into their best positions. That is why you will see them hold hands behind the CF (or in other positions), so they leave as soon they both know the ball has been served.

On lower levels I will hear setters say "set 1", meaning she is setting her person in the #1 slot, usually RF. This of course can change at times, but that is the general idea.

I hope it helps!
