How do you do a 6-2 rotation in volleyball?

Question

I know how to do a 4-2. But this season, we're learing 6-2. Can you please explain?

Answer 1

The basic idea behind this formation is that there are six hitters available to use so that there are always three front row hitters. This is done by having the setter come out of the back row to set.

The game starts with setters (S) opposite in the serving and 4th positions. Outside hitters (H) are opposite in the 2nd and 5th positions. Middle hitters (X) are in the 3rd and 6th positions.

The back row setter (blue triangle) serves and moves up to the 10 foot line to cover short balls and dinks.

Answer 2

It is basically to have the setter in back row go up and set, and come back half way for defense. All three front row players can then attack and block. You will need to pay attention regarding how to "hide" your back row setter when receiving, and who else would be setting if the setter hit the first pass.

Answer 3

The very basic - instead of switching your setter when they are in the front row, you switch them in from the back row.  This gives the team three hitters up front and a setter, with the other two back row players playing defense.  With this play, you always have three hitters, and your setters come out of the back row to set.  It beefs up the hitting and blocking, but it does take down the number that cover and play defense.
