the movement and positioning of volleyball players on the court to effectively defend against the opponent's attacks during play
Rotation defense in volleyball is a defensive strategy where players move or "rotate" positions on the court to adjust to the opponent's attacks. After each rally or serve, players shift positions to ensure they are ready to cover different areas of the court, such as the net or the back row. This helps the team respond to the ball more effectively and maintain a strong defense. The goal of rotation defense is to stay organized, communicate well, and prevent the opposing team from scoring by blocking or digging their attacks.
