The serving team will take turns serving to the other team. Whichever player passes the ball moves to target with a new player filling in. The target sends the ball back to the servers, then goes to the back of the passing line. Each pass is scored on the <a title=\"Scoring Volleyball Serving and Passing Effectiveness\" href=\"https:\/\/coachingvb.com\/scoring-serving-and-passing-effectiveness\/\">0-3 scale<\/a> with the passing team getting that many points and the serving team getting 3 minus whatever the passers got. For example, if the passers get a 2 pass they would get 2 points and the servers would only get 1 point (3-2). A missed serve counts as 3 points for the passing team. The first team to a designated point objective wins. Switch passers and servers and go again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Variations:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You can use an alternative pass scoring system.<\/li><li>If you want more aggressive serves you could either not count missed serves or have them worth fewer points to the passing team.<\/li><li>You may also use different scoring for each side if you are working A team vs. B team.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Additional Comments:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If you find either servers or passers consistently winning, you may have to alter the scoring system to make things more competitive.<\/li><li>You may also find that you need to adjust the scoring and\/or length of the game over the course of a season as players develop to keep things balanced.<\/li><li>Keep an eye out to see if servers start specifically targeting weaker passers, which is strategically a good idea and also gives those players more reps.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This simple game volleyball drill works on serving and passing in a competitive way with enough flexibility to let you create a balanced challenge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":133,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,17],"tags":[39,40,60,180,237,286,288],"class_list":["post-1299","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-volleyball-coaching-articles","category-volleyball-drills","tag-advanced","tag-all-levels","tag-beginner","tag-intermediate","tag-passing","tag-serve-receive","tag-serving"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1299","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1299"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1299\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1299"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
