This variation of volleyball is called Reverse 6s, where the boys are not allowed to front court attack ahead of the attack line, or participate in a block. There is no rotation between exchanges in possession, meaning if you start position 4 you remain there. The severs do rotate, and so after you serve you would have to run back to your position.
Both teams are well trained this far, so we will be running a 5-1.
(5 attackers and 1 dedicated penetrating setter coming up from the back court)
Skills coaches will be looking for in order to be a starter on the team:
Consistent serving
Calling the ball when passing
Calling for the ball when ready to hit
Girls: two- and three- person blocks, hitting, and tipping. We need a power, middle, and offside hitter.
Boys: diving, digging, 6-back defensive control with position 5 and 1 covering all tips, and good first pass off the serve, able to hit pipe and A and C ball.
Setter: the setter does not have to be exclusively a boy, however they need to be willing to utilize all hitters as options, and attempt to back-set the right side/C ball hitter.
Our roster including subs is predicted, but not restricted, to 10 players, 4 girls and boys each, and am additional 2 players.
This may be the last year for coed volleyball, so be ready to work, and support and encourage each other. There are three tryouts this week, be sure to let your coaches know exactly why you can not attend.
