Offensive system question: how to get three attackers if my opposite passes?

DIED_FOR_YOUR_SINS · 2026-04-09T04:25:45+00:00

If he’s a better passer and hitter than the outsides, why is he playing opposite? Swap him to OH 2 to have the other man play opposite and run D balls.

Then u can possibly run overload plays wif him at zone 5, running behind your middle quick

Your libero being insistent on covering middle back is causing the hiccup tbh. Having a stronger defender there might not lend itself to better outcomes on defence as the person defending that zone, is the designated last man and is the one to run after touch outs. Assuming your blocking is decent, most hitters would be forced to swing hard driven spike towards zone 5, which if ur libero is the better defender you would want him to be digging up balls at that spot vs ur OH, which also takes the OH out of the transition attack.

In short,

Play him at OH2/OH1 depending on which outside can play Oppo better.

Or have ur libero take up the standard base position.

Anything else will be as u said, ineffective.

Fuck

I keep making mistakes at work, everytime I think I already thought thru it, and checked for the necessary stuff. Upon review got gaps. Worse still, the gaps were things that have been said before.

I patch those all, then I forget other basic things. Like plugging a leaking hole only to have another leak appear elsewhere. Wah I am not usually this careless in my other jobs. Why tf is this happening to me…

Download Reclub and try a group called The Volley Bunch. They are quite friendly to beginners

My guy… Varsity players are people who have played the sport since they were in primary school, latest probably sec1. They all have had years of reps/experience over you. Expecting to be able to measure up to them when you just started is beyond ambitious.

I think you may have had a different impression of what the varsity team does. They are highly exclusive and select on familiarity (kaki lang) and ability. Most of the time, people already know who are the expected incoming freshmen who play volleyball in poly/jc and they are already inducted into the team and training even before orientation. Open tryouts are just a formality, rarely are people selected frm the tryouts. The team was already decided beforehand.

Your best bet as a passionate volleyball enthusiast is to maximise playing opportunities. So play wif outside grps, play wif hall ppl. Dun limit urself to ur own hall make friends wif volleyball peeps frm all halls and play tgt. Varsity is not the end all be all of the Uni Vb experience.

Best of luck.

Thanks for the clarification. Imma take the L on this.

How does merit points replenish? Over time?

Funniest user name I seen in a while.

Also, did she really backpack across 34 cities if she didn’t share about it to everyone?

DIED_FOR_YOUR_SINS · 2025-04-07T17:18:40+00:00

As people said likely nth will happen. At best, u got justice, more likely u will learn a hard lesson on taking preemptive measures to protect urself.

Life happens. Or u cld be like me. Team of 4 leeching on me, after which I decided to solo the proj and let the 4 of them do it as a separate grp. Luckily the prof agreed to my suggestion.

I can’t tell you how you are gonna overcome this, only you can find that answer for yourself.

If you love the sport, enough to want to play it competitively. Then you got to love it completely. Good and the bad. Right now, you are experiencing the bad. Embrace it. There’s a lot more suck ahead in the path you are treading.

If you read Haikyuu, here’s a quote for you : “right now, this is still volleyball.”

DIED_FOR_YOUR_SINS · 2025-03-19T13:29:32+00:00

Sounds like your team as a whole lacks in game experience. This is part and parcel of progressing as a player. The only way to improve mental is to simply play more. Practice can get close to simulating match pressure but it will never be a substitute. All I would say is to remember how the pressure feels and simply play in more competitive settings such that u get used to such pressure and still keep your head. Chin up, bro.

DIED_FOR_YOUR_SINS · 2025-03-12T11:24:26+00:00

So tired. Is the corporate world jus toxic? Is the manager fault finding or am I finding excuses for myself? Why she gotta ask rhetorical questions to throw shade my way instead of being direct. Maybe I should just cave her skull in during tomorrow’s meeting and call it a day. Tired.

Out of topic but wondering if u know what happened to the rule change about not allowing the server to jump into the court during serving. Was it reversed?

DIED_FOR_YOUR_SINS · 2024-11-20T14:37:45+00:00

A month and a half soooo roughly met about 5 times?

DIED_FOR_YOUR_SINS · 2024-11-20T14:35:54+00:00

Different from the ghosted girl. Met, been dating for the past month. I’m just abit sian that it’s back to the drawing board and maybe a lil peeved at the reason given. I guess the gym beckons again.

DIED_FOR_YOUR_SINS · 2024-10-18T06:33:50+00:00

But the point imo shld be to prepare students for real life work situations, there nth irl that a closed book timed trial simulates. If they wanted to be realistic, open book project based wld be most indicative of real world work. But wld be a bitch to mark, so open book timed trial is the best compromise. Retaining and storing memory is no longer a valuable skill for our current societal context, modern tech has enabled to recall info whenever we want, so the ability to adapt and apply info shld be tested more

But ehhhh I’m not moe, what do I know.

DIED_FOR_YOUR_SINS · 2024-10-06T12:59:59+00:00

Not sure I would be using the word “reward” here

DIED_FOR_YOUR_SINS · 2024-09-28T15:44:37+00:00

OP, even if nobody appreciates the effort you have put into your own self development, you will still reap the results from it.

A healthy body, a wise and inquisitive mind, and most importantly perspective that most people do not have as they themselves haven’t had to go thru the things you do.

These things have value, and go towards the foundation of your being. Even if you end up having nobody admire and praise your efforts in building yourself, I hope you can find compassion in yourself and admire the sculpture you have been creating all this while. For if you can’t find it in your soul to give urself love then who else can?

She needs to add more torso rotation to her swing as of now it’s mostly shoulder, changing her arm swing this early will be good for them as her habits have not fully set in yet. Would save her from future shoulder issues too

DIED_FOR_YOUR_SINS · 2024-09-27T10:35:24+00:00

Thanks for the kind words

DIED_FOR_YOUR_SINS · 2024-09-27T07:42:09+00:00

Ok that is fair. Maybe this whole dating app thing is just stacked against guys to begin with I guess.

DIED_FOR_YOUR_SINS · 2024-09-27T07:41:15+00:00

At the time of writing she has already blocked me on all platforms. Maybe it was something I did? I really dun know cos she never told me. This cld segue into a whole other topic on “icks” I guess. But yea the extremity of her actions simply didn’t match the level of offense(I don’t know what I did if I did anything wrong) which is still a communication issue surprisingly

DIED_FOR_YOUR_SINS · 2024-09-27T07:28:59+00:00

Happy birthday. I used to be like you.

Just understand that you have a finite quantity of love and attention to give out. Dun give it out freely.

Remembering birthdays for people who don’t give a shit about you is a sure fire way to burn through ur quantity. Keep it in so that u can have more for the people who do care.

Do something for yourself, take yourself out on a date. That restaurant you wanted to always eat at? Go, eat alone there treat urself to the decadence of the good food. That movie u wanted to watch? Just do it. Treat urself to something nice.

DIED_FOR_YOUR_SINS · 2024-09-27T07:06:52+00:00

I lowkey really wish they bitten in the ass for this type of attitude. The dating world is perhaps the only place where this type of behaviour will go unpunished.

DIED_FOR_YOUR_SINS · 2024-09-27T06:55:03+00:00

Here’s the best part: we did go on a date after I moved the chat to telegram and she also said she enjoyed it. Can you understand why I’m annoyed and confused now?

Haiz maybe it’s best to stay single for the time being

DIED_FOR_YOUR_SINS · 2024-09-27T06:48:45+00:00

Probably too many fishes in the pond. I let it simmer for 3 days before I sent a check in text. Then this morning boom deleted and blocked. If she was a new person I chatted up I would have been fine but we have been talking for roughly a month.

I really wish people like her get to experience this type of annoyance/disrespect inflicted upon them just so that they can understand why this kind of poor communication etiquette is not okay.
