Volleyball jargon


This is a list of the more common English volleyball jargon terms:

There is no absolute standard for naming sets, so there can be several different names for any one type of set.

While there is no absolute standard, the most common set naming system is a two number system where the first number corresponds to a zone on the net, and the second number corresponds to the height of the set at its apex (in feet). Zones are named 1 through 7 from left to right along the net with the setter occupying the line between Zone 5 and Zone 6; and the most common set heights are 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10 (represented by a 0 in the notation). For example, a 10 set is a high ball to the left side, a 53 is a 3 foot high set just to the right of the middle of the court (in front of the setter), and a 61 is a 1 foot high set right behind the setter. Additionally, Zones 4, 5, and 6 float along the net with the setter.
