4-2 Volleyball Formation5-1 Volleyball FormationSo kicking off the article I want to just go over once more exactly what the 5-1 formation is and what players you might find in each position. So as mentioned above the 5-1 formation has 5 hitters and only 1 setter. Unlike the other formations this means the setter must set whether they are front court or back court. As you know when teams line up...
Provides the Most Setting Options & Creativity
One of the main advantages at least in my humble opinion is just the amount of creativity it gives the team and sheer number of setting options available. Running this formation allows for elaborate players and clever sets like no other. As a setter it offers a lot of freedom and when the pass is consistent there really isn’t anywhere on the court that you can’t set. This makes it extremely hard for the opposing team to line up any good blocks or even set up a solid defensive line. A team run...
Builds Strong Relationships Between Hitters & Setters
Another massive benefit to this formation is because the setter is always the same player, it can lead to great understanding and a strong relationship between setter and hitter. As a hitter knowing that the setter is always at the same tempo and can always hit the sweet spot with their set is a massive confidence boost. I feel like this relationship is particularly important between middle hitters and setters. When a middle is running in like the speed of lighting it is so vital that as a se...
Improves Consistency
Touching on the above pointthe hitters become a lot more consistent because they know the timing and speed of the set. This formation also means that all players get a lot of repetitions in their preferred positions. This is particularly true for the setter. Unlike the other formations where the setter only sets half the time. This rotation allows the setter to get lots of repetitions which can only lead to good things when it comes to consistency.
Can Create Weaknesses In Defense
No admittedly high level players and teams probably won’t let this happen however I have seen it on more than one occasion and truth be known as a setter I have even been guilty of it myself. When the setter is back court obviously they want to try and creep forward ready to set the ball on the second touch. The main problem with this is it leaves a weakness in the defense at position 1. As the ball is about to be hit by the attackers if the setter starts creeping forward too early and the op...
Difficult For Beginners To Learn & Remember All Rotations
The other obvious drawback to this formation is not only the number of rotationsbut also the fact they are quite complicated and confusing. Obviously you will see these in a second when we dive into the diagrams, but unlike both the 4-2 and the 6-2 there are actually 6 rotations to learn with this formation. Rotations are often a point of contention for new players anyway so when there is 6 rather than 3 it can be very overwhelming. This is the main reason why this formation is not often seen...
All Players Need To Be Ready To Attack
I touched on this earlier when I spoke about the advantages but I feel in this formation more than any other it is important that every player is ready to attack the ball whether they are front or back court. This formation remains so effective as there are so many different ways to catch defensive teams out by having attackers hit the ball from different heights, positions and even speed. By ensuring every player is ready to hit it not only makes the opposition’s life extremely difficult but...
When Setter Is Back Court 6 Player Needs To Try & Cover More
This point slightly contradicts my point earlier however I do think it is important that where possible the player in the deep 6 position is prepared to cover the setter when they are back court. If the ball is hit high and loopy meaning the 6 player has time to take the ball I feel they definitely should step in to allow the setter to get ready to set up the attackers. Obviously if the opposition are swinging hard then the setter will have to stay firm and play defense above all else.
On Free Balls 2 Player Needs To Switch With Setter For Defensive Duties
In this formation when the setter is back court we obviously want them to avoid taking the first ball. Apart from the 6 player covering a bit more ground there is actually something much more clever we can do with the player at position 2 (The opposite) When we know the opposition are not spiking the ball and it is likely going to be a free ball the setter and opposite can actually quickly swap positions. Not only does this prevent the setter taking the first ball and allows them to get in po...
When it comes to starting serving I often like to start with Setter as the first server as this allows the team to have 3 dedicated front row players that will all likely be good blockers. Starting like this also allows the team to have three rotations where there are 3 dedicated front players for attacking. Based on the above this is how the team ...
Okay so I will level with you. I started with the easier rotations and now we are moving on to the more complicated set. A common starting lineup for the a team using this formation that is receiving first would as follows So starting off we have rotation 1, now I will warn you, you are going to see a lot of arrows on these diagrams but hopefully I...
So you have just seen the above and thought ‘What is there more still?’. Well the short answer is no, don’t worry you have learnt all the rotations however I really want to ensure you know exactly how and when to rotate so using the above diagrams I am going to take you through the full rotation point by point so you can really piece together.
- Normal Pass. A normal pass is a ball that is received by extending the arms in front of one’s self with the wrists locked together and the shoulders shrugged to create a stable platform.
- Absorb Pass. An absorb pass is a ball that is received almost identical to a normal pass, but involves absorbing the impact from the ball by bending your knees and leaning backward.
- Deep Pass. A deep pass is a ball that is received deep in the court and requires the use of an arm swing to return it to play rather than being received only by a passing platform.
- Diving Pass. A diving pass is a ball that is received during a dive, where the player throws themselves through the air in a controlled fall in order to reach a difficult ball.
