Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the discrimination skills according to the setter position in the defence zone (Zones 1, 6 , and 5) in forty nine matches (n = 49) played during the semi-finals of men’s senior volleyball competitions during the biennium 2010–2012 (World Championship; European League; World Cup; European Championship; World League; Olympic Games). For data analysis using Data Volley Software, the discriminating function identified the discriminating variables with the canonical structuring coefficient |SC| ≥ 0.30. Results revealed that the reception error, counter attack point, set error, and attack point were discriminating variables that can identify the final outcome (i.e., win or loss) of the match when the setter was in the defence zone. In effect, this study helps to explain why volleyball teams win; success with the match skills of attack point and counter attack point often predict a winning outcome. As such, the study provides substantial contributions for volleyball training and competition.
