Right side hitter (also known as offside hitter) has a similar role as the power hitter does. They play front row and back row, attack, block, serve, and play defense. Right side hitters aim to place themselves to the right front playing position. Generally, the offside hitter covers the setter in the front row, while the setter concentrates on setting the ball. They don't get as many opportunities to hit as a power hitter, because the setter would need to back set them in order to hit, and that doesn't happen as often as sets to the power. Blocking is also a big role as a offside hitter because when the power hitter hits from the other side, the offside hitter needs to block the spike so the setter can wait to set the ball.
