In air volleyball, different tactics require different player positioning methods to be implemented. Here are some common ways to stand:
Two-two" position. The "two-two" stance is the most basic stance in a five-a-side game and is suitable for beginners. This stance requires four receiving players to be evenly distributed on the court, with each player receiving the ball having a relatively small range. The first two players receive the ball in the front court, and the two players in the back receive the ball in the back court. The advantage is that the range of each player's return is relatively small, which is easy to master. At the same time, it is also conducive to learning the "middle two-two" and "side two-two" offensive formation. The disadvantage is that there are many junctions between team members, and it is easy to grab each other, give each other or interfere with each other in the front and back rows.
Shallow arc position. The shallow arc stance is an effective form of dealing with the opponent's powerful serve or flat ball. Due to the concentration of the incoming ball in the middle and back area of the field, the four players are lined up in a shallow arc, the left and right distances are close, and one person and one line are convenient for defense. The advantage of this stance is that it can effectively deal with the opponent's powerful serve or flat ball. At the same time, this stance can also reduce the junction points between team members, reducing the risk of grabbing, handing each other or interfering with each other in the front and back rows. However, the main disadvantage of this position is that there is more space in the front court area, and it is more difficult to catch the ball in front of the net.
In addition, there is a four-man return formation, which can be used in a 1-2-1-1 or 1-2-2 position, which is currently the way most teams use it. The advantage is that it is conducive to the rapid organization of the attack, and the disadvantage is that there is a gap in the field.
In air volleyball, the versatility and flexibility of tactics require that the positioning of the players must be adjusted according to the specific situation of the game. Therefore, the above are just some common standing methods, and the specific positioning needs to be determined according to the specific situation of the game and the tactical arrangement of the coach.
