5-1 Rotation

This shorter video starts with an excellent explanation why 5-1 rotation is used – it’s all about getting our players in the best area to receive. It’s also useful to see the first movements in serve receive through to the hit.

This is a long video, but comprehensive.
Couple of notes:

  • Right sided hitter (RS) we call Opposite.
  • We always play with front court Outside receiving the serve in the left (or Outside) channel.
  • Progression is to have a designated opposite who will hit back court as well as front (on the right channel).
  • IMPORTANT: We play with Libero (or Middle Blocker) in position 5, not position 6 as in this video.
