I really need help. 5-1 volleyball rotation?

Question

I don't get the 5-1 volleyball rotation. And I'm the only one on my team that makes an idiot of myself. ---->

NET

1 2 3

4 5 6.

This may not be how the numbers go usually, but just humor me. Using those numbers can someone please tell me the different responsibilites of each number.

ex;

#4-Switches places with number 6 everytime ball goes over net.....

Something along those lines. Little hints, tips, and what number I switch with during serve recieve/defense and where I should go, and what to do. I'm so confused. It would mean a lot if someone could tell me.

Answer 1

The answer above me is right.

My team runs a 5-1 and I admit sometimes I get confused too.

I play only left side, so I'm constantly switching with people to get where I need to be. I remember when volleyball used to be easy. Of course, that was 7 years ago, in fourth grade. lol

Good Luck

Answer 2

There was a good answer to this up. But one thing that you should remember is that a 5-1 system utilizes only one setter and the remaining five are hitters.

Receiving:

The setter if possible should never receive the ball otherwise a good set will never take place.

Answer 3

ok LISTEN .. #6 is the setter, the only setter on the court. #5 and #2 are your two middle hitters, #4,#1 and #3 are you power hitters.

Defence:

start with your setter serving, middle blockers center and opposite of each other, and strong side hitters opposite in the corner. The weak side hitter, or opposite setter will naturally be opposite of the setter. I like to put my stronger middle blocker up next to the weaker of my two outside hitters. That way we have a strong hitter up front to start and with the first rotation we will have an even stronger front line, putting the pressure on the opponents. Some coaches like to start with the both weaker hitters up front and come strong later.

Recieving:

Preparing 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.

It's Easy, jus review it :)
