6-2 Rotation 4: Setter 2 Sets from Right back (Position 1)

In rotation 4 of the 6-2, setter 2 starts in position 1 (right back). Setter 2 is in the back row and sets, so all three front-row players (setter 1, middle blocker 2 and outside hitter 2) can attack. Setter 1 hits from the right side, like an opposite. The setter 2 serves.

Every formation on this page follows these rules.
