***A middle player to serve ***
Once the service has been won back, it is the middle player (M1)'s turn to serve. As before, (s)he can serve from anywhere on the base-line and as soon as the ball is hit, the players all run to their base positions, demonstrated above.

***A middle player just lost their serve - '3-6' ***
When the service has been lost, the team adopts a rotation known commonly as '3-6'. This is because we now have a setter at '3', and one at '6'. (Setters are extremely arrogant and beleive that the team cannot function without them. This is why most rotations have names or calls relevant to where the setters are and what they are doing.)

Now remember, we want to have the same shape of receiving, so there should be two main receivers in the middle of court, but we want the setter to take the second ball in the rally, and not the first. For this reason, we push both setters together at the net, and everyone else sqeezes round.

The back court setter (S1) takes the second ball, while the front court setter (S2) becomes another attacking player. Again, after the first attack, the players switch to their base positions.
