Purpose

To practice running the offense out of serve receive with an emphasis on quick points.

Setup

  • Position players on both sides of the net as if starting a regular scrimmage.

How it works

  • One team begins the scrimmage with a serve
  • If the serving team wins the rally, the other team has to serve
  • If receiving team wins the rally, they score a point and receive another serve
  • You only score a point when you win the rally off of serve receive.  The first team to 15 (or 25) wins.

Notes

  • Alternately, give teams two points for winning rally off serve receive and one point for winning rally off a serve
  • This drill strongly encourages siding out on serve receive as that is the only way to score
