Non-libero setting when setter-out

Is there a better offensive option than the libero bump-setting high balls when the setter plays first contact?

Offensive Focus: Spread vs Overload

There are two basic approaches to offensive systems you can take in volleyball. Either your look to spread things out or your look to overload the block.

Doing back row attacking right

Back row attacking - especially in the women's game - tends not to have a high success rate. If you do things right, though, you can improve that.

Are you training out-of-system enough?

Are you working on out-of-system play enough in your practices? By that I mean does that work match the amount of time you're out-of-system when playing?

Back row attacker in 5 or 6

Why you might decide to put your back row attacker in Position 5 and why I think that is not the best decision if you don't have other reasons.

Thoughts on second contact when setter-out

What should you do when your setter has to play the first ball during a rally? Who should take the second contact to set the offense?
