About Learn Volley

Learn Volley is a free educational website that teaches volleyball through interactive, animated court diagrams — letting players and coaches learn formations and rotations by watching them in motion.

What we do

Our core feature is a set of interactive, animated court diagrams for the most common volleyball formations and rotations (6-6, 4-2, 6-2 and 5-1). Alongside the animations we publish written guides on individual skills, physique training, equipment, and the official FIVB world rankings.

Our approach

We assume you already know the basics, and focus on showing how the game is played. The animations are simplified models meant to be adjusted to your own team's ability — a starting point for understanding stages, formations, rotations, positions and roles.

The Coach Christian guide

Our introductory video guide was created in collaboration with Coach Christian of DrivenDragonsVolleyballAcademy, who walks through the site and the basics of the full rotation system for beginners. His input also helped us substantially reduce the advertising load on the site. You can watch it on the home page.

Rankings data

The world ranking pages present the official FIVB (Fédération Internationale de Volleyball) rankings, updated from FIVB sources.
