Four positions:
1. Server (may be a coach)
2. Returners (more than one—alternate after each return)
3. Volleyers (more than one—poach and then circle back in line)
4. Person in the Hot Seat
Server hits serve, return must go cross court/middle

If "hot seat" player can reach the volley, play out the point with the volleyer in the half court
