  3. Outside Hitter (OH) • An outside hitter is the player who hits and block on the front left side of the court. • This player also know as a left side hitter. • On offense, this person is usually one of the main passers and a go-to hitter. • The outside hitter gets lots of swings at the ball not only because the outside is where the ball goes most often when the pass is not perfect. • An outside hitter is a great all-around player. • Not only does the outside need great ball-handling skills, but he needs a solid hitter and blocker.

Setter (S) • The setter is much like the quarterback in American football or the point guard in basketball. • The setter is the backbone of the offense and makes the decision about who gets the ball when. • The setter touches the ball on the second contact and delivers it to hitters. • The setter needs to be able to take in a lot of information at once and to make good decision in a split second. • It doesn’t matte how good a team’s hitters are if it doesn’t have a setter that can consistently deliver a good ball to hit • Thus, the setter is a very important position in volleyball!
