Purpose

To allow players to scrimmage while encouraging multiple touches on the ball.

Setup

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

How it works

  • The players scrimmage with one key difference.
  • Players score a point for every second and third touch on the ball, even if they don’t return the ball over the net. No points are earned when the ball lands on the ground either on court of out of bounds, so the only way to earn points is to get multiple touches on the ball. The first team to 15 (or 25) wins.

Notes

  • Continue to remind players that their goal is to get multiple touches, not to return the ball over the net.
