    When we are serving, our front-row players are on the net?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When we are serving, our front-row players are positioned at the net. This is because the front-row players are typically the strongest blockers and attackers on the team. Being at the net allows them to effectively block the opponent's attacks and also gives them a better position to attack the ball when it comes over the net. Therefore, it is true that our front-row players are on the net when we are serving.

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that when passing the ball, one should be in a low position, similar to sitting in a chair, and then stand up while shrugging the shoulders to pass the ball. This implies that being in a low position provides stability and power for the pass.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "on offense." This means that when our team is hitting the ball, we are in a position where we are actively trying to score points against the opposing team. Being "on offense" implies that we are in control of the game and are taking the initiative to attack and make plays.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In serve receive, the setter (#1) should position herself right up behind player #2. This allows for a better angle and positioning to receive the ball from the serve. Additionally, player #4 should play in the position where player #5 is, as players #5 and #6 swing over to the right. This positioning strategy helps to maximize the effectiveness of the serve receive and facilitates better coordination among the players.

    Rate this question:

    A. True
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given correct answer is that the figure mentioned shows positions in a game where it is not advisable to start any play. If the team is receiving, there should be a swing to hide the setter, meaning that the setter should not be easily visible to the opposing team. Similarly, if the team is serving, the hitters should be on the net, ready to attack. Therefore, it is true that starting plays from the positions shown in the figure is not recommended.
