What is a sweeper's job in volleyball? |
is it an old term not in use today? thanks. There is no sweeper in volley ball. A sweeper is a term that is used in soccer, and some other sports, and they "sweep" the ball to the other side of the field. They are sort of like the defenders, keeping the ball away from their side. no hahahahaahh sweeper buys the beer and gets to the vb course at 5 in the morning and holds on to it and when was the first time you saw a fkn broom on the beach iii think its the same ....go figure I have played vball for almost 20 years. I have not once heard of the term "sweeper" in vball. I think it's a soccer/field hockey/la crosse term, but I am not sure. Well I dont' think there is a certain position called the "sweeper". But I do know that you can "sweep" the ball during a game. The player is at the net, and when the ball hovers (sorry, can't think of a better word) above the net, a player can jump up and push it down to one side using their fingertips. The player has to be careful not to be called for carrying. When done properly, it's an awesome thing to do during a game and its easy to fool the other team. So to answer your question, I don't believe there is a "sweeper" in volleyball. A sweeper's job is to get all the debris off the court before the game starts. sweeper = mopper during a volleyball match?? yanno, the ones mopping the floor during the intervals or time out.. hahaha... but there is a player playing the libero position (defense specialist) who's only allowed to play at the back. There is no sweeper in volleyball, sorry to say. But there is a sweeper in soccer. You might be thinking of the SETTER. The setter in volleyball sets the ball up to the other team mates so they can either hit or spike the ball down to earn there team a point. Most teams try to use a set-up, which is all 3 hits, to earn there points. And it'd be pretty hard without a good setter and a good hitter. I hope the semi-helped you, even if thats not what you were looking for! |
