T
Drill Objective:
Communication and coordination
between the receivers

Drill Description:
T serves a ball to either A or B. If one
of the receivers decides to receive
the ball he/she shouts out I/me. In
the meanwhile the passive receiver
runs to the net, takes up the position
of the setter, catches the bump-pass
from the active receiver and puts the
ball into the ball-box of T. The server
(in this case T) tries to serve the ball
right in between the two receivers in
order to enhance the necessity of
communication. Right after A and B
having played the ball, C and D take
up the receiving positions.

Drill Variations:

To make it easier for the

receivers the court may be
downsized
Perform the same drill with
three receivers at the same time
Various serving techniques
Another group may practice on
the other half of the court
