What is a "back set"?
A back set in volleyball happens when the player who is passing the ball, the setter, throws it behind their head to a teammate. This move is used to help the teammate attack the ball from a different angle, making it harder for the other team to block the shot. The setter uses their fingers to gently push the ball over their head, guiding it to the right spot. It requires good timing and teamwork to make sure the ball goes to the right player at the right moment.
