5. HOW TO GET TO YOUR CORRECT POSITION (Part I) - serving

Basically, you need to start in your rotation, and as soon as the ball is served, rush to where you should be.
Start as close as possible to where you are going to end up (under constraints of rotation) - you will be ready to play the receive earlier, and you will be less knackered at the end of the match.
Below represents where and when you should be moving for different rotations.

1. Outside Player Serving
  • outside player serves.
  • the back-court setter needs to be to the left of the middle player to keep in rotation.
  • everyone else is already in their correct positions
