It\u2019s time for some \u201cBICS & Quicks\u201d or a way to deliver some important volleyball items rapidly, or as the names imply, \u201cquickly.\u201d A quick set, also known as a \u201dQuick\u201d or a \u201c51\u201d or a \u201cone\u201d, is an extremely fast-paced set 1\u2019 to 2 \u2018 above and near the net, where the hitter is approaching the setter and is usually in the air before the setter delivers the ball. A \u201cBIC\u201d or back row quick, is a low set in the middle of the court near the ten foot line delivered to a back row player to execute as an offensive attack. The BIC is similar to a \u201cpipe\u201d but is set lower and faster than the pipe to add more surprise to the attack. A quick is usually executed by a middle hitter, but a BIC is often executed by the backrow opposite or a backrow outside hitter. The Bic and the Quick both require exact timing and coordination between setter and hitter and both are deadly offensive weapons.<\/p>\n
