Variety in the front row attack disappears:

2nd tempo on Pos. II / IV dominates

speed ball curve differences in dependence of the
opposite serve
in case of floating serve or free ball situations
attacks are quicker and flatter
Not only high balls from the back court attack

Running Score:
Win each rally!
Avoid any errors!
Outstanding hitters in the team is the guarantee of
success:
(YUG: Miljkovic, Vujovic; ITA: Satoretti; ARG: 3; RUS 5)
Diagonal Hitters:
31% successful attacks
One Receiver/Outside Hitter in a team:
over 20% of all attack points

Trends

Success of a team is based on two outstanding players:

diagonal and outside attackers contribute to the points
with a part of 50-60%
Substitution of specialist (serve, block, defence) in the
case of big points:
(in front of important rallies)
Set decreases to 40-50 rallies
Set subdivides in 5-7 intensive sections (time-outs)

Trends

Problems of load are reduced:

due to score system, new set limit, libero, technical timeout
Power Volleyball (rational & perfect play) succeeds in
opposite to Combination Volleyball:
that means: quality of individual abilities and actions are
decisive!
C2 break of rally:
part of block increases
Specialist means:
perfect and variable in the play actions
to calculate the behavior is more difficult

Quick Hitter:

game conceptions of most of the teams
Dr. Christian Krger

approximately identical team formations and profiles

of the players
hardly no differences in receiving formations and
attack variations
differences in the players abilities
differences in profile of diagonal attacker
(ITA-Satoretti; RUS-Jakovlev; ARG-Maly):

In case of brilliant servers: 4 persons in receive

formation
(YUG-no diagonal player in the receiving formation)

Trends

Back Court Attack:

Technical Seminar:
Teachers
Dr. Christian Krger

Integration of middle blocker/quick

attacker in the receive formation with
back court attack
(Pos. VI) offers more possibilities
Pos. VI:
Success 60%
Error 15%

Special attack techniques get more importance:

stop-roll
extreme angles
extreme off hand
wipe-off
