My main pos. is Libero, but I’m trying to learn back row outside (OH2) and front row outside (OH1) because in my first game, my friend hurt is foot and I was thrown into the outside spot. So just in case that happens again, I’ll know how to transition to a different position
Never seen a libero serve xD usually the middle serves once and then moves to libero position (5). When the ralley is lost and the enemy is serving the middle is replaced by the libero
I don't quite understand what you are referring to. I don't have set images of where each player should be standing during each rotation, but I supposed I could make one for you if you'd like.
When I was in middle school we ran a 6-2 rotation, but we never ran three passers. It was always 2 passers on serve receive and both setters on the court... literally 13yrs later am I finding out about all that you can with these rotations. I mean it worked (and we also only had six players on the team)
Perhaps you likely ran a 4-2 rotation? It is fairly common for middle school players. Both setters on the court with the front row setter setting two front row hitters.
I replayed this over and over and couldn't understand this exact part you are referencing, because it looked different from the very first rotation. So was this rotation ok to do? or should it be back to how rotation 1 was? Also, I feel like there were extra steps for rotation 6 that weren't mentioned.
@@Jocelynvillegasmusic The rotation 1 at the end is incorrect, looks like the editor may have accidentally switched L/MH and OH. When I was looking at videos explaining rotations, I was looking for a good one to show my team I coach so they could watch it if they picked it up easier though watching a video (everyone learns differently) I didn’t use this one cause it had a mistake. I ended up sending them this one 👇👇👇 ua-cam.com/video/b48Y9BhVsSs/v-deo.html Hope this helps.
hello ! Thanks for your video ! two comments however : 1/ i don't know which rules you play, but international vb rules NEVER allowed the libero to serve afaik 2/ those international rules also allow one player (except libero) to only leave the field once per set and only enter it once as well, that's why after one full cycle of 6 positions you are stuck with S1 and OP1 on their starting positions for the rest of the set. i would use 6-2 formations only in the case where S1 and OP1 are both able to set from the back row AND attack when on the front row !
in addition, those rules also states that there should be a completed rally between two changes by the the libero. so the same libero cannot leave the field (to avoid coming to front row) AND at the same time re enter the field to replace the other MB in the back row ! the MB is forced to take the serve himself and stay in the back row until the rally is complete. and when it is, and if the point has been won, then the MB is forced to go on serving because the libero cannot serve, but before the second MB's serve the libero could opt to reenter in place of another back row player, but again i wouldn't do it, because the MB is certainly the best option for the libero and waiting the MB is finished with serving allows the libero to have some rest ...
This video is for high school level volleyball in the US. Our rules allow the libero to serve and change in the same rotation only in the event of them serving. As far as substitutions go, we are allowed up to 15 substitutions to use however we see fit. Thanks for the comment though!
It all depends on the level, like for guys I don’t think the libero is allowed to serve, I could be wrong, but for women the libero can serve for only one person
I have been playing recreational volleyball for decades and still don't understand the need for these rules. If the positions are ,as described, then every move becomes choreographed and predictable hence the element of surprise (attacks) are eliminated. It appears that majority of points are made only from strikes of sheer brute force/effort. In soccer the positions are set for 90m mins and nobody rotates so that attack moves aren't predicted. An even slow , innocuous move creates goals. Maybe I am missing something in these rules .
I would say that it depends on the age group, but generally speaking, I would say that most teams over the age of 15 generally would use some sort of rotation setup to help get the setter up to the setting position as quickly as possible while keeping everyone in their correct positions without an overlap. For example, watch this video at the 1 minute marker and you can see that they are in rotation 1 with the setter releasing from the backrow as soon as the ball is contacted by the server: ua-cam.com/video/lzz8zMGCnx0/v-deo.html. It may be hard to see on television because generally speaking, the receiving team is off screen when the server is serving the ball, and all of the movement of the players happens so quickly that you might not notice that they are even switching.
This is used a lot in normal teams, on the very top in mens it is usually not used a lot anymore, mainly because top opposites can spike from behind nearly as well as from the front But the rotations / who stands where practically every top team plays
@@SDVolleyballVideos yes, except most teams leave their Opposite on 4 and OH on 2 in Setter 1 side out. Also in FIVB / non American Volleyball Liberoes are not allowed to serve. Other than that, great video😊
Why is this lineup used? Why "hide" the setter and make them run to the front to set? Push that OH forward in the first rotation, and let the OP receive, and then the setter just steps forward to set, and the OH steps back to hit until the switch. There is NEVER a reason the setter should be running from the back to set the ball, they can be pushed up to the net for easier transition and positioning, and still maintain 3 passers and someone to cover the short serve.
Generally speaking, considering that the setter can see when the ball is being contacted, they can time it perfectly and they usually have plenty of time to get to the net and then play the ball. We use this form of setup to keep things consistent. By default, it is always the two outside hitters and the libero that are passing on Serve Receive. Yes, you can make adjustments if someone is having an off day or just need to mix things up to get a side out, but we generally pick our outside hitters as players who can attack the ball but also have good ball passing capabilities. That doesn't mean the opposite can't pass, it simply means that normally, the outside hitters are the better passers on the team, outside of the libero of course. I have definitely seen other teams use the rotation you are suggesting if they feel comfortable enough to have the opposite pass and there is nothing wrong with that, but most if not all of the rotations have a method of "hiding" the setter to ensure they don't have to pass the ball and can get into position to set as soon as possible.
@@SDVolleyballVideos I have no problem hiding the setter, the issue I have (as a setter) is hiding them so they have to run around to a position, when it is so much more simple to just take one step forward (or even not have to move). I've tried the way the video shows, and found that racing into position, and then a bad pass comes up, and I have to spend more time doubling-back or chasing that bad pass, than if I was already in position...and a bad pass happens, then I'm not having to change momentum, I just move towards that pass. I know the video shows a common way of lining up...I just believe it's not as practical as pushing the OH forward so the setter is already in position.
@@alexethier4038 I was a setter myself so I get it, but I generally didn't have too much of an issue with getting to the net before our passers were passing the ball. But, to each their own. If you feel like your method is better then by all means, utilize that with your own team. This is just a general guideline on a method of rotations.
I played volleyball for over 25 years (including NCAA div 1, professionally, etc) and I STILL have a hard time understanding 🤣
Well, hopefully this video can help remind you of certain things when you need it :)
This is the best 6-2 explanation, with proper use of lib and OH for passing.
I was told I had to play opposite a day before our tournament and this video saved me
bruh 😭 i swear my coach made tweaks to this rotation n i get rlly confused . watching this on repeat cuz i got a game tmr
Rotate 1-2-3 used to have an web site that i can just print and pass out to the players to study the rotations
This helped me so much! Thank you!!
Thanks coach Brandon !

why would they put the libero in for an outside? lmao
@@mi3lla cuz we didn’t have any other subs -_-
I play volleyball for my school and this is my 4th year. This saved me and my team! Btw I’m a setter
Do you have PDF's of the rotations for download?
It's really hard to notice the players rotating to their positions cause it happens so fast
Agreed
Never seen a libero serve xD usually the middle serves once and then moves to libero position (5). When the ralley is lost and the enemy is serving the middle is replaced by the libero
What program you use for blank rotation sheets please? I like to make copies to hand it out to my 11U to study.
I don't quite understand what you are referring to. I don't have set images of where each player should be standing during each rotation, but I supposed I could make one for you if you'd like.
Isnt this like 5-1 rotation except that every one full rotation, the OP and Setter swaps with the other OP and Setter?

@@Primeministahh idk. We called it 6-2. And by we, I mean everyone in my community
The final rotation 1 at the end of the video is different than the rotation 1 at the before of the video (switched the L/MH and outside hitters

Hope this helps.
Is it still possible to utilize 6-2 with only a total 6 players? Basically having all players play full time
You also need the setters to be able to play a frontrow attacking position. Either OH, MB or Opposite.
Played OH once, and the coach told me to just play the opposite of OH 2 and follow him. Now I understand 😂😂
Hi! Can you tell me what program you use to create your videos? I'd like to make some for my team to study this offseason. Thanks!
I used Adobe After Effects to animate everything using my own made player icons from Adobe Illustrator.

Hi
thanks for your nice videos
Which program you used to design?
I created the player icons in Adobe Illustrator and then used Adobe After Effects to animate everything.
1 question. Why is the Labero not playing back middle and the OH going to left side in base D?
never mind. I just seen where that can be an option. Thanks!!
can we play this 6-2 rotation without base position?
huh? that means u guys lost all the points, and I think it's there so refs can't take away a point
Is it correct libero can serve?
It all depends on the level, like for guys I don’t think the libero is allowed to serve, I could be wrong, but for women the libero can serve for only one person
Yes in our league. Libero can replace only one player to serve. Must be same player
Here from Chavez
can any one helps me with what benefits of this 6-2 rotation!!
The benefit of a 6-2 rotation instead of a 5-1 rotation is that you can have 3 hitters in the front row the entire time you are playing.
I play middle and this is not how my coach tells me to rotate but it’s the right rotation so I’m confused
Same..
Look for 5-1 rotation vids, we use that on our team
