6.4 Positions

It is the second referee's duty to check on the positions of the receiving team.

Impor­tant

The feet of the players are relevant for determining whether there is a positional fault or not. The players have to be lined up correctly at the service hit.

Focus of the second referee:
Position 4 has to be closer to the center line than positon 5. Make sure to have an eye on the setter, who might be running early and end up closer to the center line than position 2 at the service.




Setter in position 6

The setter on position 6 has to be "between" positions 1 and 5 and further away from the net than position 3.

Make sure the setter on position 5 is further away from the center line than position 4 and, at least with one part of the foot, closer to the left side line than position 6. In addition, position 3 has to be closer to the center line than position 6.
