Also potentially useful in situations where you have lots of players, but little space.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Age\/Skill Level:<\/strong> This game is suitable for all levels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Requirements:<\/strong> 6 players, 1 balls.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Execution:<\/strong> Start with three teams of 2 players each. One of the team starts as the net. They stand in the middle. The other two teams play out a rally. The loser of the rally swaps places with the &#8220;net&#8221; team and serves the next point.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Variations:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The game could be played for time or until one team won a given number of points.<\/li>\n<li>Depending on the amount of space available, you could configure the &#8220;court&#8221; to be short or narrow or whatever suits your purpose.<\/li>\n<li>You could increase the team sizes to 3s, and maybe 4s.<\/li>\n<li>Rather than switching on each rally, you could play mini games (say first to 3).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Additional Comments:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I saw this diagrammed on a table at breakfast by John Kessel.<\/li>\n<li>If there is a rope or string or some other thing that could act as a net, the &#8220;net&#8221; team can hold that rather than having the rally played out over them.<\/li>\n<li>This is something that potentially could be used in a pre-match warm-up when you only have one side of the court.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a small-sided volleyball game you can play when you don&#8217;t have a net.
