Purpose

This activity is a way for teams without 12 players to scrimmage.

Setup

  • Position 6 players on one side of the net and 3 on the other. Have players transition to their standard post-serve receive positions (middle, OH, etc.)
  • Coach stands at net with a ball

How it works

  • Coach slaps the ball and then tosses the ball into play on the side with 3 players
  • Players then play the point out
  • If the team with 3 players wins the point, they transition to the back row on the other side, while the back row transitions to the front row, and the front row transitions to the side with 3 players.

Coaching Tips

  • Emphasize the importance of coverage for the side with only 3 players.
