I am most likely going to switch to a 5-1 (from a 6-2) next volleyball season and am trying to figure out what strengths I should look for in a front row opposite. I feel I can find the right mix in a back row opposite, but what trates are most important in the front row?

Please let me know if you have played the position before or if you have played with good opposites or if you coach or whatever else qualifies you to answer this question.

Thank you for the help!!!

I was student teaching in a 2nd grade class a couple months ago and the subject of baseball came up. The teacher asks how many of the kids are Yankees fans and all but one kid raises his hand. The teacher then asks Jimmy how come he didn't raise his hand.

Jimmy says, "Because I am a Red Sox fan."

The teacher asks how come he is a Red Sox fan.]

Jimmy says, "Because my parents are."

The teacher says, "that is crazy, Jimmy. Do you do every thing your parents do? If your parents were idiots, what would that make you?"

Jimmy says, "A Yankees fan."

I just can't believe it has been 6 hours since the last question, so I thought I would ask one. I really like all of you guys and gals asking and answering all of these questions about volleyball. It is absolutely the best game in the world.

Anyway, I am a high school coach and I am going to have a bunch of girls this year that are good setters. I have used both systems in the past and found them both very effective for different reasons. Both coaches and players please tell me why you like either system. Thank you for all your great answers ahead of time.
