Freshman Team Rotation Question.....Were LOST
Question
Coach
My daughter is new to the game but did make the Freshman A team. (Mostly due to her athletics) She did play in JR High but never in club. She is having trouble with getting the rotation down and frankly I haven抰 been able to be much help. (never playing myself) She plays outside and the coach sent home a sheet with the 3 rotations on them broken out into the Serve 1 and Return 1, etc? However when I watched her first game I noticed that some of the girls seemed to switch positions after the return. Do you have any advice or reference materials on how I can learn the concept of the rotation so I might better help her?
Thanks

Good afternoon Todd.
OK I'm home now and have re-read your question. I can't be sure what is "Serve 1" or "Return 1" without seeing the pictures.
Yes, most players do switch after returning a serve b/c the coach wants them to play at positions he/she feels they can best help the team.
You're also free to send me a video of the team playing. I'll then look at it, and tell you what I think.
I'm sorry that i can't be more help.
Please ask me the next question you have, and maybe I'll know more.

Good morning Todd and welcome to www.allexperts.com.
I am at work right now, so I can't answer your question this morning. I will be able to give you a some insight tonight.
However, w/o seeing the pages and w/o seeing what your daughter's team is doing, I may not be of much help. If you really want me to look at those pages, you could fax those pages to me at 540 297 2982, if you wish. You could also scan them and attach them to an email.
