Purpose
To encourage players to chase balls and adapt their offense on the fly.
Setup
- Position 3 players at the net facing the net.
- The remaining players line up outside the court.
How it works
- The coach slaps the ball and then throws it toward the back court. The players must turn and scramble to reach the ball and then play the ball back over the net.
- Repeat for additional groups of three players, making sure to change up which players are grouped together.
Notes
- For additional challenge, require each player to only touch the ball once.
- This activity forces players to adapt to different roles on the court and to play out of system balls.
