The "5-1" Rotation (1-3)

ROTATION 1:

- This is our "Rotation 1", we will likely start every game in this rotation.

- This means on our service, the Libero will be the first server. 

- In the case of our serve receive to start the game, the setter is the first server.

- This is serve receive for "Rotation 1".


N.B. Front row and back row players must maintain their service order prior to the opposing team server contacting the ball into play.

1. This means the OH must remain between the Middle and the Setter.

2. Players sharing a row do not need to worry about positioning in regards to proximity to the net, only lateral position. e.g. left and right, not backwards and forward.

3. So, above, the position of the players in the front row (M, OH, S) don't matter in regards to whom is closer to the net, or even if they overlap, only that the OH remain between the M & S.


4. Similarly, the back row (RS, OH, L) doesn't need to worry about overlap or proximity to the net, only staying in service order.

- After the ball is put over the net onto the other team's side of the net, all players return to their "home" defense.

 *** Please note - this is the last time I will post an image of "Home" or "Base" defense ***




ROTATION 2:

- This is our "Rotation 2". 

--- NET---

(Sorry about the quality of these scans)

- This is serve receive for "Rotation 2".

- Please note: Whenever the setter moves in front of the 3 meter line for serve receive, he must remain behind the player in the service zone directly in front of the setter's service zone, and to the right or left of the players with whom the setter is sharing the back row.

N.B. In this rotation, rotation 2, the Setter is in service zone 1, so, for serve receive he must remain behind the OH (in zone 2), and to the right of the Libero, until the opposing team server contacts the ball into play.

ROTATION 3:

--- NET---

- This is our "Rotation 3". 

 --- NET---

- This is serve receive for "Rotation 3".

N.B. The position of the setter. He is "in" service zone 6, so for serve receive he must stay behind the player in service zone 3 (the RS), and to the right of the Libero and the left of the OH. Or, put simply, the Setter must be between the L & OH.

Also, note the RS in relationship to M.
