P 55: Rolling Reception
F. Direction of Reception Movements by One, Two and Three Players
As mentioned in underhand pass techniques, players should not move to the side but rather in a 30 to 45 degree
diagonal direction when they return the ball to the setter as illustrated in the following diagram (D 26 - D 29).
When players receive a spiked ball by two players, anticipation of the next spike is essential for good formation play.
Without anticipation, the reception will fail when the spiker tries a tip ball between the two players. The reception
formations in the 6-player system is always anticipated by the players. At the same time, players should move in
a 45 degree diagonal from each other and cross and cover each other as shown in the diagrams (D 26 – D 29).
