Question

Where does the setter move to (in a 5-1 rotation) after their team serves the ball?

Answer 1

he moves to front row

Answer 2

If she is at front row, she will stay in front as a blocker but may switch position with the strong blockers according to opponents rotation.

If she is at back row, she usually stays at right side of the 10-foot line to do defense and take off to setter's position when ball hit away from her.

Answer 3

Front center waiting for a pass from his/her player.  Once the second hit is done, the setter goes back into the back right (server) position.

Answer 4

If she's front row, she'll be up by the net as close to her setting position as possible without being out of rotation.  If she's in the back row, she shadows right behind the person in front of her so she can make a run for the setting position as soon as the ball is served.  I had a setter who would literally stand so close to the front row player that  she would be touching them.  If she's serving, she just runs up front as soon as she serves.  Most teams have the 'setting position' right by the net just off to the right side of the court.  This way she can easily set to right handed players on their dominant side.  (A set is easier to track if it's coming from your hitting side.)

Answer 5

If the setter is back row, they go to the right back spot.  If they are front row, they go to the right front spot.  The right side is where the setter plays.  They will go to the right front spot to set from & go bact to their spot for defense (front or back).  

The rotations where the setter goes to the middle front are NOT 5-1!  

I have been playing volleyball practicall all my life (I'm 31) & I have been coaching since 1993.  I am a setter & have run everything from a 4-2 (2 setters & front row setter sets from middle or right), 6-2 (2 setters both play right side & back row setter sets) and 5-1 (1 setter & plays right side).

Answer 6

Front center position.

Answer 7

I agree with most of the postings as far as the situation when the setter is the back row:  the setter will move back to his/her defensive cover position.

If the setter is in the front (again, like others have said, it depends on your coach), we prefer to switch the setter to the "weak" side which is the right, and maintain our best hitter on the "power" side which is the left.  Our setter, being on the "weak" side gives us more options for higher percentage attacks.  For example from the right side, the setter will have better visibility of the court and have more options as quick sets to the middle or shoot sets to right (power) side with a fake from the middle...or stunts with the power hitter crossing in behind the middle hitter...many possibilities.. enjoy

Answer 8

Front line center position.

Answer 9

The setter switches to the front right, what they call position #2, so that the remaining two front court players can spike "on-hand."

Answer 10

If she is in the front row, she will go to a blocking position, usually right front.  If she is in the back row she cannot block.  She will be in a back row defensive position, usually right side, close to the spiking line.  These are only generalizations.  Coaches will do a lot of different things to take advantage of the particular skills of their players.  However remember only front row players can block.

Answer 11

usually in any kind of rotation the setter is moved to the front center position where he/she can set for the hitters (spikers) on either side.

Answer 12

to the setters spot.........

Answer 13

Depending on what your coach tells you and where the setter is in the rotation. In the front row, she goes tot a blocking position. In the back row, she goes to a defesive position on the right side near the 10-foot line.
