In this clip, we're going to talk about rotational strategy in volleyball. There are three main strategies used in rotation in volleyball; they are the 4-2, the 6-2, and the 5-1. In a 4-2, there are two setters that are going to be used in the rotation but they only set when they are in the front row, and they only have the option of setting two hitters because they're one of the front row players. In a 6-2, you have two setters used in this rotation as well. But in this one, the setter in the back row will take responsibility to set up at the net, allowing the front row setter to hit. That's usually the right side. This way there will be three hitters on the front row and more options on offense. It's much harder for the defense to block three hitters than it is for them to block two hitters. The last rotation strategy is a 5-1, and when a team runs a 5-1, one setter sets the whole way around on the rotation. This allows the team to get accustomed to the setting styles of the setter, but there won't always be three hitters on the front row...only on one half of the rotation. Also when a setter is back row, he cannot jump and hit the ball over the net. On a high pass it may be really hard to set the ball without having it go to the other side off his hands.
