The difference is in the objective and the scoring system. Teams are aiming to score 7 points in a row. Any rally win is a point. A bonus point, though, is given for first ball kills. Thus, it takes at least 4 straight rally wins for a team to win the game (three first ball serve receive or transition kills and a rally win). If at any point a team loses a rally its points revert to zero.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Variations:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li title=\"Volleyball Coaching Concept: Wash Drill\">You can alter the <a title=\"Volleyball Games: Using Bonus Points Effectively\" href=\"https:\/\/coachingvb.com\/volleyball-games-using-bonus-points-effectively\/\">bonus point<\/a> earning process to focus on whatever you prioritize &#8211; like certain types of offensive plays, aces, stuff blocks, kills on off-speed shots, etc.<\/li>\n<li title=\"Volleyball Coaching Concept: Wash Drill\">You can even have smaller or larger bonus points (say 2 for a first ball kill and 1 for a 3-pass), especially if you find the 7-point target a bit too challenging for your team.<\/li>\n<li title=\"Volleyball Coaching Concept: Wash Drill\">To create a more intense focus on serve receive offense you can assign one team to serve to start every play.<\/li>\n<li title=\"Volleyball Coaching Concept: Wash Drill\">There should be no problem running this as a <a title=\"Small-sided volleyball games\" href=\"https:\/\/coachingvb.com\/small-sided-volleyball-games\/\">small-sided game<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Additional Comments:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The main focus here is on scoring points in a row, and conversely preventing the other team from scoring points in bunches.
