The six players on a volleyball team have the duty, during the match, to rotate clockwise when their team is receiving and scores while the opponents are serving. Learning to rotate positions is, therefore, fundamental.
The roles in volleyball can be divided into two main fronts: attack and defence. The attack roles are played on the front line, that is, those players who play under the net.
During a volleyball match, there are six players but there is one, called the “libero”, who enters the court when the player occupying the central positions is on the second defence line.
The roles of the players on the court are five:
- setter,
- middle hitter,
- spiker,
- opposite hitter,
- libero.
