The 32-point team severs every ball and scores a point on any rally win. The 0-point team also scores on any rally win, but also gets points based on the rating of each serve receive pass based on the <a title=\"Scoring Serving and Passing Effectiveness\" href=\"https:\/\/coachingvb.com\/scoring-serving-and-passing-effectiveness\/\">3-point scoring system<\/a> (so a 3 pass earns them 3 points, a 2 pass earns them 2 points, etc.). The teams play to 40, meaning the 32-point team only needs to win 8 rallies. An ace counts as a rally win, but missed serves are washes. The receiving team rotates each time they win a rally. The serving team does a front-to-back switch on each of their rally wins, but ensuring that servers change up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Variations:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li title=\"Volleyball Coaching Concept: Wash Drill\">You can change the starting point for the serving team to widen or narrow the gap the receiving team needs to overcome.<\/li>\n<li title=\"Volleyball Coaching Concept: Wash Drill\">You can change the winning score up or down to require the serving team to win more or fewer rallies.<\/li>\n<li title=\"Volleyball Coaching Concept: Wash Drill\">There can be negative consequences for multiple missed serves &#8211; especially in a row &#8211; from the same server.<\/li>\n<li title=\"Volleyball Coaching Concept: Wash Drill\">This could be used just as easily for <a title=\"Small-sided volleyball games\" href=\"https:\/\/coachingvb.com\/small-sided-volleyball-games\/\">small-sided games<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Additional Comments:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I saw this game at <a title=\"URI Volleyball\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gorhody.com\/sports\/w-volley\/index\">University of Rhode Island<\/a> training when I was there.<\/li>\n<li>Of the six times I saw this played (three different sets of match-ups played with each side being the receiving team and serving team once), only once did the receiving team win. That came when they averaged a 2.0+ pass rating.
