3-5 Serve Pass

OBJECTIVE:

Develop the middle attack from serve receive.

DIRECTIONS:

  1. The team is divided into two serve receive capable groups of passers, each with a setter.
  2. Team 2 begins by serving to Team 1.
  3. The passings' team goal is to run a middle attack. This can be anything designated by the coach (quick, slide, wide one, etc.).
  4. The receiving team must run 3 middle attacks before not being able to 5 times. A missed serve counts as a success.
  5. The first team to their goal (passers - 3, servers - 5) earns a point.
  6. The teams switch roles.
  7. The game is to 7 points.
  8. Passers should rotate each time they take the court.

VARIATIONS:

  1. Add a opposing middle blocker and backrow diggers.
  2. Not allow the middle to run the same set twice in a row.
  3. If the passing team is able to aggressively attack from the backrow when they can't run the middle, this is a wash.

Remember the best drill is any drill that the players pass, set, and hit in.

You should be teaching your players skills, not drills.
