Dear Volleyball Mom, Do You Know What Sets My Private Volleyball Training Apart From Anyone In Vegas? I invite You to read what my private volleyball training mission says before considering hiring me as a private volleyball coach because I'm not available for everyone.

The 6-2 Volleyball Rotation What're The Advantages or Disadvantages?

If a team has two strong setters that are also strong attackers then they usually play a 6-2 volleyball rotation where both setters play opposite each other.

What is the 6-2 rotation in volleyball, how does this offense work with two setters and what advantages or disadvantages are there for players on the court.

Dear Volleyball Mom, Did you know your player can Upgrade their volleyball skills with an expert college volleyball prep coach Las Vegas based April Chapple (that's me!) creator of the Breakfast Club for College Players.

The 6 - 2 volleyball rotation is the simplest of volleyball offenses a team can run where two setters and 3 - 4 eligible attackers are on the court at one time.

If a team has two strong setters that are also strong attackers then they usually play a 6-2 volleyball rotation where both setters play opposite each other.

What's The Difference Between the 6 - 2 Volleyball Rotation and the 5 -1 Volleyball Offense?

If setter one (S1) starts in zone 1 in the service position then she will serve, play defense and set while she's in the backrow.....playing opposite setter two (S2) who will start opposite her in Zone 4 and after her teammate serves switch to Zone 2 (right front) to play (block and attack) on the right side of the court.

Learn how to run a 6-2 volleyball rotation (both serve receive and service rotations) and learn what the concept of base positions of defense is.

Let's start in the back row and talk about the most popular position on the court which is position 1.

P1, Position 1 or Zone 1 is where the ball is served from at the start of each rally after the referee blows the whistle.

Right Back, Zone 1, P1

Position 1 is located in the right back area of the court.

You'll hear people say the "RB" or " go right back" which is another term for the Position 1 area.

After the referee blows the whistle, this is the area where the player who has rotated into Position 1, will step outside of the endline before putting the ball in play with a serve that sends it into the opposing team's court which starts the rally between the two teams.

Defense in Position 1

The setters and right side hitters also known as "opposites" play in the far right positions on the court in defense and offense.

When he/she's backrow in defense they play in Position 1.

When they're in the front row on defense, after her/his team serves, they will switch over to block, set and hit in Position 2.

If you are the player in zone 1 at the very start of the game, and you're on the team that won the right to serve first, then you would be your team's first server.

If you are on the other side of the net, in zone 1 but your team is passing the ball because they are receiving the serve,

Then after your team wins their first point, they also win the right to serve the ball for the first time.

The 6-2 Volleyball Rotation What're The Advantages or Disadvantages? If a team has two strong setters that are also strong attackers then they usually play a 6-2 volleyball rotation where both setters play opposite each other.

Since you're the player that started the game in zone 1 and you're on the team that's receiving the serve, you wouldn't be the first server, you would rotate to zone 6 and your team's first server is the player behind you that is rotating from zone 2, the right front position to zone 1 the right back position, that is your team's first server.

The other four players would also rotate--one position-sliding clockwise from one volleyball zone to the next.

The "MB" or "middle back" is one of the commonly used court terms that describes the part of the court called Zone 6.

So now you started in zone 1 but you slide over to be in zone 6.

This is how a team rotates in the backrow whether they run a 6-2 volleyball rotation, a 5-1 offense of a 4-2 offense..players move ..clockwise after their team wins the right to serve.

Serving slang is not just about individual techniques; it also relates to overall game strategy. A coach might instruct a player to serve a "short serve" or a "deep serve" to target specific areas of the opponent's court or exploit weaknesses in their serve receive formation.

Ari, my private training client and I are working specifically on serving on jump float cross court serves ...short to Zone 2

There's so much we work on to get to this point where she can contact the ball with

the same toss height and same toss location
the same armswing speed
the same timing for when her serving hand contacts the ball
the middle of the hand contacting the middle of the ball every single time
getting use to watching her serving hand contact the ball at the highest point of her jump ...before she starts to land
and finally contacting the ball in the precise spot on the ball so it goes where the coach wants the player to put it so in this case ..a short serve in the farthest short right corner on the court also called Zone 2.
