About 30 years ago, there was a professional Co-ed Volleyball league that did not use any rotations. Each player served in turn, but there were no rotations.

What each team had was three male hitters, a male setter, and two female "defensive" players. There were also no front row/back row players and any player could play anywhere on the court. The league was only around for maybe five years...I went to a few matches here in Phoenix.

The league sold the "no-rotation" concept as more spectator friendly in that your hitters were always able to hit and did not have to spend half the game in a back row position or on the bench because of their (lack of) passing skills.

It was fun to watch...but I don't agree that it should be the norm at all levels.
