Team divides into groups of three (or two, if necessary). Additional antenna is placed in the middle of the net to make two, more narrow courts. Teams will "pepper" over the net in a cooperative drill.
Ball is tossed in to one side. Side must complete required touches and send the ball over the net where the other side must complete its required touches. Repeat until goal is reached and then progress.
Three touches variations / progression:
Pass, Set, Pass Over
Pass, Set, Set Over
Pass, Set, Downball
Pass, Set, Attack
Generally, this drill is cooperative until the players reach the attack ball stage. Then, it is normally played as a real point.
Coach can vary the required number of each stage. 10 successful Pass, Set, Pass then move on to next. Successful is defined as completion of required elements. Any successful play over without one or more of the required elements is considered a "wash" and does not reset the count. Every time an error is committed (ball into antenna, ball lands out, ball lands in the court...) the play stops, the count is reset to 0 for that stage, and play resumes.
Stressing ball control, especially in passing. Setting at 10' line or slightly behind. All attacking must be done behind the 10' line.
Other items to stress:
Communication
Energy
Effort
Playing constantly in posture
Holding finished platform briefly after pass
