Amoeba serve game:

The drill starts with a player from each side serving a ball. They then go and sit down where their serve landed - assuming it went in (if not they join the back of the line and will have to serve again in a minute).
The rest of the players then start serving, trying to serve to their teammate on the other side of the net. If successful and their team-mate catches the ball, they go join them.
The drill ends when one team has all of their players reach the other side.

Bounce Game:

Players work in pairs with one ball.

Players play within a section of court and are attempting to get the ball to bounce twice to win a point.

Players can catch the ball in one hand to the side of them, moving up and down with the motion of the ball as they catch and release the ball.

VSD:GRID GAME

Grassroot serving:

2 players, 1 ball. The player serving has to hit the ball over the net so that the other player can catch the ball.

If they are successful 3 times in a row the player can take a step back and move closer to the back line.

Once players reach the back line they can swap roles.
