Purpose

To help backrow players warmup while practicing communication and ball control

Setup

  • 3-5 players on each side of the net behind the ten foot line
  • A coach stands just outside the court with a basket of balls

How it works

  • The coach tosses the ball into play on either side of the court.
  • Players dig, set, and back row attack while calling the ball
  • Each player who touches the ball must run and touch the net before they can play the ball again
  • Play rally scoring games to a set number of points

Notes

  • The fewer players on each side, the more each player has to move
  • Encourage the hitters to move quickly to get back into position
