Why does the second guy jump in volleyball after the set?



Why is it in volleyball after the setter makes the set a guy jumps up and fake spikes it and then the guy who actually spikes it hits it near the other side of the court?
see what I mean

the other guy jumps up and fake spikes it to confuse the other teams middle blocker.

since the middle blocker helps both right side and left side block middle blocker has to make the decision on who to block. it's a 50 50 shot that he will choose the wrong one.
leaving the guy who actually spikes it with the chance to only have to go up against one blocker.

hope that makes sense! Source(s): high school volleyball player
wow
its just a way to be ready. he doesnt have to, he just does. also see above reason.
It helps contain the opposing middle blocker. The middle blocker is supposed to block the middle position and help with the right and left sides as well. If you can get the opposing middle to hesitate just a little, they will be late getting outside and your outside hitter will only have one blocker. And when you guess the opposing middle starts cheating to the outside, your middle gets the set and the kill.
yea, that's called a dummy. that's one of the tactical attacking plays that the team uses to make the opponent's blockers confused. men's and women's volleyball use that a lot.
Its strategy to confuse the other team.
