In volleyball, six players rotate clockwise through six different
positions on their side of the net. There are three front row
positions (left front, middle front, and right front) and three back
row positions (left back, middle back, and right back). Teams
rotate with each new server.
4) No player can hit the ball twice in succession

during contact

ball to increase the difficulty of
receiving the hit.
