In rotation 5 of the 5-1, the setter starts in position 3 (middle front). The setter is in the front row, so there are only two front-row attackers (outside hitter 1 and middle blocker 2). The setter can also attack or dump the second ball. The outside hitter 2 serves.

Overlap check for rotation 5
At the moment of the serve, each front-row player must be closer to the net than the back-row player directly behind them (OH1 ahead of MB1, S ahead of OPP, MB2 ahead of OH2), and each row must stay in order left to right (front: OH1, S and MB2; back: MB1, OPP and OH2). Every formation on this page follows these rules.
