- all players start at the basline on one side of the court
- race to 21 (or whatever number the coach/players choose)
- players serve, shagg their ball and return to the same side to serve again (or switch)
- Point system: 1 point for every serve inside the court, 2 points for hitting the corners, 3 points for hitting any side/back line
Variaitions:
1. Modify point system
-1 for hiting the net
-1 for serving out
-2 for serving under the net
+4 for serving short, inside attack line
+5 for hittting the "sweet spot" picked by the coach
2. Time it - highest score wins
New hitters rarely miss because of their arm. They miss because of their feet. Build a reliable approach, then time it with your setter.
When your hitter gets stuffed, five teammates standing and watching is how you lose the point. Good attack coverage turns a blocked ball into a second swing.
Coaches spend hours correcting arms in serve receive when the real fault is almost always the feet. Fix the movement and the platform fixes itself.
