Quiz · 5 questions

Do you know the 5:1? Test yourself.

5 questions. Then the court shows who runs where.

The problem

12 situations. One season. Then full court.

The 5:1 has 6 rotations, each when serving and when receiving. Add overlap faults, setter runs and libero substitutions. On a whiteboard that stays abstract. On a phone, at your own pace and against your teammates, it becomes real.

Understand instead of memorising

Every rotation is shown, animated and explained: who stands where, who runs where and why.

Keep going with flames

A few minutes on several days a week keep the flame burning. The coach sets the weekly goal.

Team competition

Send challenges to teammates, fight back and climb the team ranking.

The learning path

One system at a time.

Nobody starts with the 5:1. The path leads through the systems that youth teams actually play.

  1. Level 16:0

    Everyone sets

    No fixed setter. Whoever is at the net sets. Perfect for getting started.

  2. Level 24:2

    Two setters in the front row

    Two setters stand opposite each other. The setter always sets from the front row, no setter run yet.

  3. Level 35:1

    One setter, six rotations

    The system used at performance level. With the setter running in from the back row, opposite, outside hitters, middles and libero.

Indoor and sand

Two games. One development.

Many young athletes play indoors in winter and on sand in summer. Next Rotation supports both: rotation systems for indoor, tactics and game sense for the beach.

In development

Indoor

Rotation systems 6:0, 4:2 and 5:1, overlap faults, serve-receive formations and libero.

Planned

Beach

Hand signals, court sides, shot selection, wind and side switches.
