Volleyball 5-1 RotationOpen the interactive app →5-1 Rotation 4: Setter in Left front (Position 4)
In rotation 4 of the 5-1, the setter starts in position 4 (left front). The setter is in the front row, so there are only two front-row attackers (middle blocker 2 and outside hitter 2). The setter can also attack or dump the second ball. The opposite serves.

Overlap check for rotation 4
At the moment of the serve, each front-row player must be closer to the net than the back-row player directly behind them (S ahead of OH1, MB2 ahead of MB1, OH2 ahead of OPP), and each row must stay in order left to right (front: S, MB2 and OH2; back: OH1, MB1 and OPP). Every formation on this page follows these rules.
