At moment of serve the R2 will be standing away from the net, on the receiving team side, looking for any illegal alignments, blocks or attack on the serve.

6-2: Two Setters, Six Hitters If a team get s stuck in a rotation, they can change their formation so the other setter can set. Because of this flexibility, and the fact that you always have 3 attackers attacking in the front row. There will always be a setter in the back row. 5-1: One Setter, Five Hitters The setter sets in every rotation. This is different from a 6-2 offense in that only does the setter set when playing in the back row, but also across the front row. If the setter is in the back row she has three hitters, but if she is in the front row she has two hitters but she also has the option to attack the ball. 4-2: Two Setters, Four Hitters The most basic volleyball offensive system. The two setters play opposite one another on the court. The setter that is in the front row sets for that volleyball rotation. With a 4-2, it s much easier to adjust the formation because the setter lines up near the target because they are always a front row player. 6-6: Six Setters, Six Hitters Primarily used as an introductory offensive alignment to allow all players to gain experience at all positions. Each player assumes the responsibilities of the setter when the player rotates into the right back position. This is the setter s position when in the base defensive alignment.
W Formation The W involves five passers aligned to receive the serve. It is a common starting formation for young athletes and involves having three athletes along the attack line with two in the back, between the front three. Four-Person Serve-Receive When a team moves out of a W and into four-person assignments you are generally pulling your front-row middle attacker out of passing so that she is available to attack. Examples of alignments: box, cup, horseshoe, and the line Three-Person Serve-Receive Three-person alignments are in a line half way between the attack line and the end-line. Two-Person Serve-Receive In this serve receive technique there are only 2 people passing the serve. These two players are usually the two best passers on the team. This allows the setter to have all three of her hitters ready to hit and attack immediately.
