Volleyball Rotations 5-1

[@johnwright9611]

5-1 rotation seams confusing to most at first. I believe this video gives a good fundamental description of how it can work. As with most things there are variations. Remember only rotations 4, 5 & 6 are different. 1, 2 & 3 are the same for both 5-1 and 6-2.

[@ivespoken8902]

What i learned that have made it easier for me is to find your opposite/across from each other partner/teammate as if you are a SetterOP & OH1OH2 & MB1MB2/L and always make sure he or she is opposite of you. The next trick is whoever is in front of you and behind should always be that way during serve and serve receive before you go back to base position in the Clockwise rotation cycle. Im Probably making it harder now haha at least thats how i think of 5-1 rotation when I’m playing with new people. I play OH so at the start of the match i will always find the other OH and position across/opposite from him etc. fun stuff, once you play often, it will come naturally to you of where to be. Remember it isnt there to complicate things but to make it easier for all the positions to do their job from where they are being rotated to 💪🏐

[@nottellingya9887]

Well if you're not situated in your proper position by the time the serve is ongoing, that's a foul. Do the math. What happens if you keep repeating it? Jokes aside tho, I hope you've learnt it after five months.

[@cowwithoutlegs7932]

well he is kinda forced to make u use this rotation cuz its the proper way to play volleyball... most of my team is still new and is learning the basics, so we still use the (not valid) "fixed setter rotation" or whatever its called (idk if it even has a name): basically the setter never rotates and the rest of the team takes the role of its position. (no we havent played matches with other teams yet, we are trash) as a middle blocker who practices quick spikes instead of normal ones, this is pretty annoying ngl cuz i cant use them in practice games: i have neither the proper rotation, neither a proper setter (i practice spikes with my coach setting) andddd if ur asking urself why am i even watching this video, then idk just curiosity😅

That's why i like 4-2 rotation etter because in 5-1, the opposite which was firts called utility and is the most strongest player on the court, is now very weak and defenseless, which is why they hide him when the opponent serves.

They hide the Oppo because he/she is the best attacker the Oppo Hits in every Rotation she is Not a passer. There you want your best attacker even from the backrow or your lefty

[@nolajoe580]

does it differ internationally or at higher level? i believe they call rotation # based on where the setter is. so if the setter is in 5, that's rotation 5 not 3. Mostly they call it "position" instead of rotation but non the less...

[@nolajoe580]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKrZpZt_fat2qsU rotation 3 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH3SdH-mbr5mY68 rotation 6

[@SDVolleyballVideos]

@@nolajoe580 It might differ internationally. We are using the rotation numbers simply as a number for each time the team rotates, usually starting with the setter serving in Rotation 1. That being said, there are zones in the court that are in relation to who the next server is that is always constant. So the zones would go Right Back = Zone 1, Right Front = Zone 2, Middle Front = Zone 3, etc. This is explained in the videos you linked when they say that the Setter is in Position 6, for example. I have never heard of the rotations being linked directly to where the Setter is, other than a general rule of thumb that the Setter is serving in Rotation 1. With your method, it sounds like you call our Rotations in reverse order, is that correct? So you would start serving in Rotation 1, and then go to Rotation 6, then Rotation 5, and so on? Being a referee as well, I could see it being easier for the refs to keep track of the Setter with that method, but generally speaking, the rotations are the same, they might just be numbered in a different way.

[@nolajoe580]

@@SDVolleyballVideos yes, it's easier to keep track and task, it just makes sense. My question to you was more so to understand if the way you explained it is used only at club level, USAV and AAU or do National teams use the same one. I'm familiar with both, and understand the game well, i just know at a ....Pro level they use the setter as a point of refference for rotation. Example: in italy they call P1, P2, P3...and so on, that stands for Palleggiatore, and in other leagues where english is used most they call Setter 1, Setter 2. and so on, and since they refer to starting rotations...obviously they lose the "Setter" and just use "start in 1-2 - 5... . I'm asking because i see this happen quite often at club level, where they use it the way you had your diagram. Where that gets confusing IMO is when your setter starts in 2, and you call it rotation....6. Now you have to explain that even tho the setter is in 2 we're calling it 6 because in the next rotation she/he will be in 1 and that's where we "start" Just curious what the national team uses...

[@SDVolleyballVideos]

@Gabriella Perez Thank you for clarifying. To respond to their question, I am not sure what the national teams use as far as what they call their rotations, but after looking at videos it appears that they use similar rotations most of the time. Obviously things can change from team to team depending on their composition, but for the most part, I believe most teams in the US use this sort of rotation format, but again, any team/region can call each rotation whatever makes sense for them. We use this method to say, we are in Rotation 1, so the next rotation would be Rotation 2. It's not directly linked to the setter position, simply based on the number of times we have rotated until we get back to 1. We use this method for our club teams ranging from 6-17 years of age as well as for our high school teams. This rotation video should be following all the normal rotation rules for any level of volleyball as far as I am aware. Every player should be in a legal position when the ball is contacted for serve if you follow this setup. However, there could be some region specific rules that I am unaware of so make sure you read your own rule book to see if there is anything that is different.

[@SDVolleyballVideos]

@Gabriella Perez I've seen some schools run their Rotation 1 in a different manner. They stack all their front row players to the left (Opposite, Middle, then Outside Hitter) from left to right, so that their OH1 can hit on the left. It might be difficult to get the Opposite all the way to the right side as they would need to be the player closest to the left sideline on the court. I can send you a picture if you'd like to see what I am referring to. It would essentially be the same as rotation 4 but switch the Opposite and the Setter and the Setter is hiding just behind the Libero. But yes, you would still be in rotation so long as the Setter is close to the end line than OH1 and OH1 is closer to the right sideline than your middle.

[@tammywright3312]

my friends coaches are running this and they’ve switched up the rotations, it sounds really complicated 😅

[@SpunkeyMonkeyJess]

[@Sheenifier]

My hs team would run a 5:1, but it was usually only 2 back row serve receive. Don't know why tho

[@kyledrake9750]

This would be even better if you put a red dot on the players that are back court. Good video though.

[@juanllorente3925]

Omagata tank yu so much

[@nmssis]

why is it called 5 - 1 ? is it because 5 up and one back as the base position?

[@SDVolleyballVideos]

It is called a 5-1 because there is 1 setter who sets the entire time, and when the setter is back row, there are 3 hitters and when the setter is front row, there are 2 hitters, so a total of 5 hitters. So 5 hitters - 1 setter.

[@marvintg2002]

To add on to this: A common alternative is 4-2, so 4 hitters and 2 setters. This is more common in less experienced teams because it's a lot simpler than 5-1.

What is the maximum amount of team players a 5:1 rotation can play per set?

[@headblank]

6

[@marvintg2002]

Depending on how the question is meant. The maximum of players on one team per set is 13. According to the rules you have 6 in the starting lineup, then another 6 as substitutes, and the Libero. But be aware that every player except for the Libero can only be subbed in and out once per set, and once a player was subbed out, they can only be subbed back in for the person that got subbed in for them before.

[@jonaskriegl7993]

So i was watching the Video lately and in general it is very helpful. As a beginner it's fairly complicated to understand the movement of the players. BUT in order to understand every move I watched the video carefully and noticed in base position Setter and Opposite sometimes are changed, so sometime the setter is at the net and sometimes the opposite. (E.g. Base Position 3: Setter in the Back at 3m - Line and Base Position 4: Setter at the net). Is that supposed to be or is this by mistake?

[@SDVolleyballVideos]

The players rotate clockwise every rotation, so the setter starts in the backrow in rotation 1 and when they get to rotation 4, they are now a front row player, which is why the setter's base position now plays up at the net. The reverse is the same for the opposite, which is why they are playing in the backrow in rotations 4, 5, and 6.

[@jonaskriegl7993]

@@SDVolleyballVideos Thanks for the fast reply! So the setter is the one allowed to hit at the net and when he's in rotation at the back the opposite is allowed to hit at the net, am I understanding this one right.

[@SDVolleyballVideos]

@@jonaskriegl7993 Generally speaking, yes. Front row players are allowed to hit and block at the net whereas backrow players cannot contact the ball above the plane of the net while in front of the 10 foot or 3 meter line (again in a general sense of the rule). There are a lot of small nuisances to the rules, but that's the basis of it. As the setter, they still generally do not hit as much, but they might "dump" the ball instead of setting when the ball gets passed to them. It allows the setter to be an offensive tool while they are in the front row.

Isn't tbere an overlap violation in Rotation 3 Receive? You have the setter moving ahead of and to the right of the OH.

[@SDVolleyballVideos]

Overlaps are only a concern with the players that are either directly to your side or in front of or behind you. In receive 3, the Setter is in Left Back so he only has to worry about overlaps with the Left Front (MB1) and Middle Back (OH1) players. The Outside Hitter 2 is in Middle Front and therefore needs to worry about the Left Front (MB1), Right Front (OP), and Middle Back (OH1) players. Therefore, the Setter and Outside Hitter 2 can overlap without any issues so long as they are still adhering to the other overlap lines.

Libero doesnt serve.. right?

[@maysanbuenaventura613]

[@popcat3814]

liberos do serve sometimes. It mainly depends on whether or not the coach wants them to. As a result of liberos being the ‘captain’ of defense, they usually don’t do offense (serving is offense). That’s why mostly the middles are serving instead of liberos. In my team, our liberos are strong in the serving category; that’s why our libero serves for our weaker servers.

[@cameronstacy8785]

It depends on where you're playing. As far as I know, liberos cannot serve in international play but in the US it is fine. In the US, if the libero isn't a strong server, teams may opt to have their middle serve. This means that the middle has to play defense after serving but gives the better server a chance to get an ace or force an out-of-system play.

[@Sheenifier]

[@lanceinto1961]

So, whoever is in front of the setter he/she should not overlap the one who's in front of him/her? Like, if the setter's front is the MB he/she should not overlap the MB?

[@SDVolleyballVideos]

The overlaps apply to every single position, not just the setter, though the setter is usually the player trying to push the boundaries of each overlap to try and get to the setting position as soon as possible. In general, each player cannot overlap with any person directly in front of behind them, or directly to either side of them in the rotations. The only people you don't have to worry about are people that are at a diagonal to you.

LIBERO SERVES? WTF? THE LIBERO DOESN'T SERVE. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? He is normally the smallest, while the middle blocker is usually the higher and stronger.

[@SDVolleyballVideos]

As I've stated in other comments, depending on the rules in the area you play for, the libero might not be allowed to serve. That being said, although generally, yes the libero might be the smallest player on the team, it does not necessarily mean that they are the weakest server on the team. Height and strength tend to be much less of a factor when it comes to the effectiveness of a server. It all depends on the player's overall skill level. This is just an example of what a rotation can look like for your team and it's what we use very often in this part of the world.
