This is a skill where a ball is directed to a point where a hitter can spike it into the opponent’s court. They can be different heights, and on different sides of the net.

The second contact (after a pass or dig) is considered a “set”. The player who sets is called the “setter”. Usually a set is made with two hands overhead. A bump set is made with a player’s forearms. A player can also set the ball over the net on the first, second or third contact with the same motion.
