The basic starting serve receive line up when setter (S2) is in the right back position in 6-2 volleyball rotation.

The other setter (S) is in left front position.

In this formation the front row setter is one of the primary passers.

Second setter (S2) in Position 5 - Line Up

The next picture is the serve receive line up when back row setter is in the left back position in 6-2 offense. The other setter is in the right front position.

In this picture below the front row setter (or the hitter, if the setter is replaced) is not serve receiving the ball. Like mentioned before, rotations can be formed multiple ways - this is not the only way to do it. The coach could for example make the right front setter the primary passer.

The most common rotation fault on this position:

The common rotating fault in this situation occurs when RH is NOT in front of OH at the serving moment.

RH needs to be closer to the net than OH (because RH is the middle front player and OH is the middle back player.) Naturally the front row player needs to be closer to the net.

Also MB needs to be closer to the net than S2 (because MB is the left front player and S2 is the left back player.)
