What players are learning

Create many competitive, game-like contacts with very little standing.

01

Set it up

  1. Use a short court for 2v2, 3v3, or 4v4.
  2. One team begins on the queen side.
02

Run the drill

  1. Challengers initiate with a serve or coach toss.
  2. Win the rally to move to the queen side; the losing team rotates off.
  3. Keep a new ball ready so the next rally begins within five seconds.
03

What to say

  • Talk before the ball crosses.
  • Use open court, not only power.
  • Rotate fast so everyone stays active.
