Quick Set
A fast, low set to the middle hitter, who is often already in the air when the setter releases the ball. The other team's middle blocker has almost no time to get there. Even when the quick does not score, it can hold that blocker in the middle and leave the outside hitter with only one blocker to beat. Coaches also call it a one-set.
Example
The pass is on target and the middle hitter is already jumping as the setter touches the ball. The ball is gone before the other middle can leave the floor.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a quick set in volleyball?
The fastest set in the offense, delivered to the middle hitter. The hitter and setter have to share the same timing. The middle is often in the air before the setter lets the ball go.
How do you run a quick set effectively?
Use the same approach speed and the same hand speed from the setter on every rep, and call it out so you jump together. A quick that is a foot late meets a formed block.
