Learning the 5-1:  Rotation 5 [.gif of rotation 5]

Preparing to Serve
In this rotation some coaches keep the setter in the middle position as this is a natural setting position.  However, this pulls the middle blocker out of position.  What's better is to have the middle blocker and the setter switch positions.  Notice also that in the back row, the opposite setter sets up close to the net and after the serve the middle blocker in the back row will slide over and cover the back.  After the transition, the front row middle blocker and outside hitter back up and the setter has the option to set the middle, the outside hitter or a back row attack from opposite setter.

Preparing to Receive
Unlike when serving, when receiving a serve, I like to keep everyone where they are.  The middle blocker will approach at an angle and hit middle, the outside hitter hits normally and the setter has two options in the back row attack, the opposite setter and the outside hitter.
