A rotation in Vollyball is when you win the point back and swap positions. I know that sounded wrong.

For example:

If you served the ball over the net, and they, of course, hit it back over and you missed, they'd win the point back and rotate in a clock-wise direction.

If they served it over, and you hit it back, but they let the vollyball drop, you'd win the point and rotate.

Out of Rotation is a positional fault, meaning that at the moment the serve is completed, the front row player must have some part of their foot closer to the centre line then they're corresponding back row player. Likewise, the right side player must also have some part of the foot closer to the right sideline then the person in the middle and the same with the left side player.

In simple terms: There is one player in each position. After you side out (earn the point after the other team serves), you earn possession of the ball and you must rotate. The player in position 1 (serving position) now moves to position 6. Position 6 moves to 5, 5 to 4, 4 to 3, 3 to 2, and 2 to 1 (player who will now serve). You remain in the position you just rotated to until you side out again (this requires you to lose the serve, and once again win a point off of the other team's serve).

In more complex terms: There are 6 rotations that revolve around the position of the setter. If the setter is in "Rotation 1" he/she is in position 1. all of the other players fill in the remaining spots on the court based on position. Outside hitter #1 would be in position 2, Middle Hitter #1 in position 3, Opposite side hitter in position 4, Outside Hitter #2 in position 5, and Middle Hitter #2 (most likely a libero) in position 6. When the setter moves to "rotation 2" he/she is now in position 6. The other positions rotate as well. So now the setter is in 6, OH 1 is in 1, MH 1 is in 2, OH 2 is in 4, MH 2 is in 5. The rotaions move around all the positions in the direction you rotate (clockwise). So when you say the setter is in rotation 5, he/she is in position 3. In rotation 6 the setter is in position 2. This is the exact same thing as the simpler explanation except I'm just detailing where each designated position would be and how the formation works.
