Players start on the attack line and run forwards towards the net. Upon reaching the net, they take two steps sidewards before running backwards to the attack line. From here they repeat the test, all the way across the court.
By running forwards, backwards and sideways, players perform movements that they would do in a match, where they will approach sideways to block, and take a few steps backwards to prepare to spike.
Ask players to run in pairs especially when stepping sideways so there would be not much area between them, just as there would be when double-blocking in a match.
