Answer 2

There are six players on the court.  Divide the court up in a grid with two rows of three.  (Three at the net and three in the back row.) If you are facing the net you rotate clockwise.  If the ball lands on your opponents side you rotate and have a new server.  The server continues to serve until she misses a serve or the opponent scores.  

Answer 3

You move clockwise every time your team gains the ball back. So whenever the other team is serving [on offense], and you get a point, you rotate clockwise. If your team is serving and you get a point, you do not rotate. That's the best I can explain it =]

DONT FORGET TO COVER FOR  "INSIDE, OUTSIDE,MIDDLE."

Answer 5

Junior High volleyball is usually called a 4-2 formation.  Meaning, 4 hitters and 2 setters.  

There will be 2 designated setters that are opposite of each other.  That means there will always be one in the front row and the back row.  In a 4-2, the setter in the front row will switch with the person that's in the middle (unless he/she is already playing in the middle) and will set either the person on the left or the right.  When that front row setter rotates clockwise to the back row, his/her opposite will now take over as setter and do the same thing.  

If you are a hitter, you would have an opposite.  If you find that your opposite is in the same row (front or back) as you, then the rotation is faulty.  Also as a front row hitter, you will switch with the setter and hit/block in that position.  When you are in the back row, you would stay in whatever position you are after rotating because there is no need for you to switch with the back row setter.

Generally, the best way to implement a 4-2 is to make a W shaped formation with all the players except the setter since he/she should start by the net.  The two front row hitters will be tight up on the net to block/hit, the middle back player will move up towards the center of the court while the left back and right back players take care of the deep corners and the balls that land behind the middle back person.

There are other formations out there such as a 6-2 and a 5-1 but those are typically used in High School volleyball and higher.
