One of the most popular offenses in volleyball is the 5-1. That is when you have five hitters (2 outsides, 2 middles, and one right-side hitter) and one setter. The setter plays all the way around and does not get substituted out. While a little over half the game is spent in transition, the other half will be spent in serve receive. Note: In all the photos, the front row players will be highlighted in red so that they stand out.
