6-2 volleyball rotation?

Question

my team is going to use a 6-2 rotation. are all 6-2 rotations the same? or are there different variations for a 6-2?

Answer 1

6-2 offenses are pretty set, but are not done all the same way.

The constant remainder from all 6-2 is that the setters have to be opposite each other.

How you set up your line-up from there is up to you...

Many coaches like to have the OH-MH-S when they are in the front row so the setter doesn't have to move when there is a serve and the other two hitters are set also... Some coaches do that line-up in the back row so that the players are near there "base" or "home" position.

Even other times coaches do a MH-OH-S so that everyone is moving every time... I would advise against this line-up unless you have very very versatile and powerful hitters.

Yet another variable is the setting position.  The middle front or the right front is a choice or the setter can come from the back or front row.

No matter what, with a 6-2, the setters need to be opposite each other.

I know that this is a lot, but not all 6-2's are the same. I hope this semi-helped... =]

Answer 2

We play 5-1 (unfortunately), but 6-2 is 6-2 all the time. It's the same rotation. One setter starts out in the front right position and the other setter starts in the back left, so they are opposite each other all the time, and there is always a setter in the front row.

Answer 3

No, a six-two is a six-two, for the simple fact that the setters should be in opposite playing positions at all times.  There are advantages to this, like in situations where one setter is a great hitter.

Answer 4

no there is no difference 6-2 is always the same!

Answer 5

Here is all you could know about volleyball in one short article. :)

6-2 rotation are usually all the same.  If there would be a different variation for a 6-2, it would be in serve receive.  This would be how many people would be receiving. Whether the coach chooses a 5-man, 4-man, or 3-man serve receive.

Edit:

The poster above me is wrong on the setters position.  6-2 means that there are 6 hitters and 2 setters.  This means that the setter ALWAYS has to be in the back row.  Then, the 'setter' who is in the front row is a hitter, until they reach the back row.  That way you can have 3 hitters in the front row at all times.  The only downside to this rotation, is that the setter can never dump or hit, because they're technically back row, so they can not jump after they've passed the 10 foot line.
