The drill starts with one team serving the other with play running as usual for that rally. If the receiving team gets a first ball kill they get a point. If not, that rally is a <a title=\"Volleyball Coaching Concept: Wash Drill\" href=\"https:\/\/coachingvb.com\/volleyball-coaching-concept-wash-drill\/\">wash<\/a>, though the winner of it will serve the next ball. Before that, though, a coach initiates three balls to the offensive teams. If either team wins all three rallies they get a point. If not, no point is earned by either side. The game continues until one team reaches 25. Repeat all six rotations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Variations:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li title=\"Volleyball Coaching Concept: Wash Drill\">To make getting the wash mini game point (the 3-ball part) a bit easier, you can award the point to the team which wins 2 out of 3 rallies instead of all three.<\/li>\n<li title=\"Volleyball Coaching Concept: Wash Drill\">The coach can initiate the ball as an attack, a downball, or a free ball.<\/li>\n<li title=\"Volleyball Coaching Concept: Wash Drill\">To have a more concentrated focus on serve receive you can have the non-offensive team serve all balls.<\/li>\n<li title=\"Volleyball Coaching Concept: Wash Drill\">To make sure to give weak rotations more time, you can require a team to win the game before rotating, with the first team to go all six rotations winning overall.<\/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 played at <a title=\"USD Volleyball\" href=\"http:\/\/usctrojans.com\/index.aspx?path=wvball\">USC<\/a>, though I may not have all the details exactly correct.<\/li>\n<li>The focus here is obviously on first ball serve receive kills, and secondarily winning points in a row. The way the coach initiates the three balls also creates an opportunity to work on some other types of offensive play (e.g. free ball attack).<\/li>\n<li>If you do have only one team serve you&#8217;ll want to allow for miss serves (but not two in a row) to encourage aggressive serving.<\/li>\n<li>I should note that this is not a game that&#8217;s meant to replicate end-of-set conditions. Yes, you&#8217;re playing to 25. You could just as easily play to 3. <a href=\"https:\/\/coachingvb.com\/a-couple-ways-to-develop-mental-toughness\/\">Starting at 22 doesn&#8217;t create any kind of end-of-set pressure<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a short-duration game which focuses on serve receive attack and secondarily on winning points in a row.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":178,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[37,38,39,40,60,62,164,180,286,490],"class_list":["post-833","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-volleyball-games","tag-4v4","tag-6v6","tag-advanced","tag-all-levels","tag-beginner","tag-big-pointlittle-point","tag-game-play","tag-intermediate","tag-serve-receive","tag-wash-drills"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/833","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=833"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/833\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=833"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=833"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=833"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
