Nothing prevents them from hitting at different positions on the net. The front-row hitters are usually the primary hitters for the team as they are allowed to attack the ball (i.e., hit the ball when it is above the height of the net) from inside the attack line (aka within 10 foot or 3-meter line from the net).įront-row hitters are often denoted as “outside hitter”, “middle hitter”, or “right side hitter” (aka “opposite hitter”) depending on where they usually line up defensively on the net (i.e., left, middle, or right side of the net). ![]() The team will have 2 or 3 front-row hitters depending on the offensive system used.
