Purpose
To focus on serving accuracy and encourage teamwork
Setup
- Divide the players into two groups and have them line up on opposite serving lines
- Put a cart of balls on each side
How it works
- On go, everyone starts serving.
- If a player misses the serve, they run to the other side of the net and lay on the ground flopping like a fish out of water.
- The rest of that group must then save the player from being a “dead fish” by serving the ball to hit the “dead fish”
- If the player gets hit, they are saved and can return to serving!
- The first team to lose all their players to the other side become “dead fish” and lose the game.
Coaching Tips
- You can also try this the opposite way, where those who successfully serve in become the dead fish, thereby giving weaker servers more opportunity to practice
