I actually base my rotations around sideout performance. Since serving is the skill an individual player has the most control over, I think good servers can generally be effective regardless of where they are in the rotation. Sideout performance, however, requires the whole team working together, so I consider where each player is going to be in reception and attack after reception when putting my rotations together.
Hey Joe. Love the details of serving metrics and the examples you go thru.
Just from the title of your post are you going to cover attacking a perimeter defense at some near future time? The reason I’m asking is myHS team switched mid season to this because we were being dominated (and losing) to teams with OHs that were scoring machines against our perimeter defense… sometimes change is good. my kids once they learned it liked it but to self scout for next season what should I be aware of on the down side?? Thanks. Jim
Hi Joe, good reading! I have a question what is the first thing you do when you make a rotation? Serving?

Yes! Sorry I originally had it slated to go in that mailbag but I'm going to expand to make it a post of its own...
