Player cards show each athlete's natural PACE identity — their archetype, dominant trait, and how they communicate and compete.
Lineup diagrams show how those players were used in specific match situations. Coaches adjust roles based on match state, team need, and opponent pressure.
THIS IS WHERE PACE BECAME REAL
PACE didn't just describe the players — it told the coach exactly how to build the system.
YOUR TEAM — CURRENT ROTATION
ILLUSTRATIONTwo setters. Two different roles.
Sets from back row. Organizes offense, reads blockers, manages long rallies. When the game gets complex, Campbell simplifies it.
Enters when Campbell rotates to front row. Injects tempo, energy, and competitive fire. Best when the team is flat.
Replaces both middles in back row. Vocal backcourt commander and primary serve receive anchor.
