Learning the 5-1: Rotation 1

Preparing to Serve
1st Rotation - ServingLet's start off the game with your team having the serve. The setter serves the ball and then runs up to the ten foot line. The strong side hitter and opposite setter switch positions on the court to put both of them in better position. After the ball travels back to your side of the court, all three front hitters back up and the setter slides into the setting position.

Preparing to Receive
1st Rotation - ReceivingPreparing to receive the front row backs up beyond the ten foot line. The setter will sit on the outside shoulder of the outside hitter. After the serve, the setter runs around the outside of the hitter and slides into the setting position. If the setter is having a hard time getting into position quick enough, push the hitter up to the net. This will put the setter closer to the optimum setting position.
