today's trivia
This question has three correct answers. Please restrict yourselves to one answer per patron in the morning. If any go unnamed until noon, I will open it to multiple guesses per patron in the afternoon. In addition to middle blocker and outside hitter, name one of the other three positions on a typical indoor (six person) volleyball team.

ding, ding, ding, correct #3 (that is all)
The opposite is arguably the most versatile player on the team. He/she must be able to set, hit, and play defense.

ding, ding, ding, correct #1 (1 to go)
The libero is the newest position, created 25-30 years ago and is intended to be a purely defensive player. The libero wears a different colored jersey from everyone else and can substitute for any player at any time but cannot attack the ball.

That's it. Defensive Specialist (DS) is the designation.

Libero and DS are different designations.

OK..I will give you credit for a DS, but that is not the position I had
in mind because it is not a starting position. There is still one starting position that has yet to be named.

ding, ding, ding, correct #1 (2 to go)
The setter almost always touches the ball second in any possession. It is his/her job to take the first hit and put the ball where teammates can go on the offensive. ** Edited by lilhokie525 at 4/30/2026, 7:39:35 AM
