Yes a setter can set while located in the back row. Its a little bit harder to get it to exactly where you want it, but it works. If it is his turn to serve, or is located in the back row at the serve, you can switch to the front row after the ball is hit, but before the next serve you have to go to back where you belong.

How are the different types of sets categorized in volleyball?
There are multiple sets in volleyball. They are mostly categorized by numbers. You have an outside which is a 4. A weak side hit which is a 9. The middle can run a 1 or 2. A 1 is when the ball is just above the height of the net and the hitter runs to the setter as soon as the ball is passed. A 2 is a set that is a little higher than a 1 ball and the hitter waits an extra second or two after the ball is passed. You also can run a 31 or a 32. These sets occur between the outside and middle hitters. This is mostly for the middle hitter and works especially well for a lefty middle hitter. A 32 is when the setter lobs the ball and a 31 is when the setter kind of throws the ball at the spot. A 31 is like a shoot set. A shoot set is when the setter sets the outside hitter but sets the ball quick and the ball is at a line drive, not a lob. It is very similar to a 31. A pipe is a hitter in the back row that occurs in the 6 position (Middle of the back). The setter sets the ball high close to the back row line and the hitter jumps and spikes the ball. The hitter cannot pass the back row line. A back 1 is when the setter sets a 1 except it is behind his head . This is killer for a left middle hitter!
What is the difference between a 6-1 and a 5-2 in volleyball?
First of all, it's a 6-2 and a 5-1. There is no such thing as a 6-1 and a 5-2. A 6-2 is where you have 6 hitters and 2 setters. The setter sets out of the back row so you will have 3 front row hitters at all times. When the setter gets to the front row they sub out for a right side hitter and a right side hitter that gets to the back at the same time subs in for the 2nd setter so that they are setting from the back row. A 5-1 is where you have 5 hitters and 1 setter. The setter sets from the back and the front so when they are in the front row you have only 2 front row hitters and when they go to the back row they set from the back and they have 3 front row hitters.
On volleyball how many hits per person?
When the ball comes over your side, your team only has 3 hits to get it over. In those 3 hits, a person cannot hit the ball 2 times in a row. A player can bump the ball to the setter, then the setter sets the ball, and he/she can hit it again.

Who should take the second hit in volleyball?
You always ideally want to get the ball to your setter on the second hit. That way the setter can push the ball out to one of the hitters in hope of a kill. The setter should be standing at the top right of the court so that they can set both the outside left and the middle. The setter is the person you always want to give the second hit to. The setter should stand at the top right of the court, to the right of the middle and outside hitter. When they get a good pass they should set it either to the outside, middle, behind them, or in the back row if it is not really a good pass.
What does 6 2 mean in volleyball?
In the few seconds between when the ball is given to the other team and when it is served over the net, our team makes the choice to try and give us the strongest defense against the serve. By running the 6:2 defense you remove your setter from coming into contact with the first ball and put them in position to set up a hit. The first move is the setter, who steps into the front row and "pushes up" the player in front of her. Pushing up is when the setter is in the back row and moves to the front row, for a defensive purposes, standing directly behind the player who is playing in front of her. Moving the setter is taking her out of the way of the first touch with the ball. This sets it up so when the second touch comes the setter can take it and try to get help get a hit. In the next second after the setter has moved the two remaining back row players, depending on their location, slide to fill the gap that was left. This opens up a spot opposite to where to setter is currently. At the same time the girl in the front row, farthest from the setter, will step into the back row. Therefor filling the gap and putting three passers in the back for serve receive This is an effective system for a few reasons. When you take the setter out of the back row it gives you three different people to give hitting opportunities to. Verses with a 5:1 the setter is the hitter on the weak, or left, side. This only allows for the middle and strong, or right, side hitters to be on the offence. Also with the 6:2 your setter is always in the back row. With it you have not one but two setters on the court together. They must be opposite of each other though for this play to work. As soon as the current setter rotates to the front then she becomes a hitter and the other setter takes over the position.
What does the setter do in vollyball?
in volley ball the setter in back just rotates as a normal player (hitter) until they get to the front where they run a 4:2 so the person in the middle switches with them after the ball is served and switches back after every point so people stay in rotation
How are all 6 of the volleyball positions played?
setter- sets the ball and serves, and occasionally hits right side-hits and serves and backs up the setter if she/he can't get there, and blocks middle blocker-blocks almost every time, hits mostly just plays front row, and servers also outside hitter (left)-hits, blocks, and serves left back-gets short balls, and angled balls (same as right back) labraro (defensive specialist)-just back row (mostly middle back) comes in for whoever isn't doing well in back row
Can a back row player close to the net legally be part of a completed collective block even if she does not touch the ball?
The answer to this question is no. According to new rules from 2008 a back row player may not be a part of any block if the ball is touched in the attempt. It does not matter if the backrow player touched the ball or not in the attempt only that it was touched. An immediate violation should be called in this circumstance. In addition if the ball is passed tight to the net (or an overpass) and the setter comes out of the back row and tries to set it and an opposing player makes a block attempt on the ball, resulting in both players touching the ball, the setter should be called for a back row violation even though she was not attempting to attack or block the ball from a backrow position. This is also a new(or clarified) rule from 2008.
Can a person on the back side of a volleyball team spike the ball when i person sets it in front of you?
A player in the back row is allowed to jump and attack the ball from the back row as long as they jump behind the 10 ft. line. If the back row player jumps in front of the 10 ft. line, the team looses the point.
When should the setter get the volleyball?
When your talking about receiving that ball from a serve, then no. While setters may "get" the ball from a serve to save it from hitting the ground it is never their goal to receive a serve. In most cases, the back row players will receive the serve and try to bump it to the setter who will, in turn, set it to the hitter. In a real game, it doesn't always happen this way of course but that is the basic set up for volleyball play.
