Set up the cones so that there are 5 on each side of the net on the side of the court , equally spaced starting from near the net running toward the end line similar to this:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/coachingvb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Tug-o-War.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/coachingvb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Tug-o-War.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91449\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The objective is for one team to move the coach all the way to their last cone (+5) using this scoring:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">+1 serving side for an ace<br>+1 receiving side for a perfect pass (or whatever quality pass you&#8217;re after)<br>+1 receiving side for a missed serve<br>+1 serving side for an overpass<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where a +1 means moving one cone in the direction of the team that scored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Variations:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You can vary the number of passers you have on the court, and if using less than you&#8217;d normally have in a game, you can narrow the area into which servers have to put the ball (e.g. only serve into Zones 1 &amp; 6).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You could incorporate out-of-system passes into the scoring as well. For example, you could make both Ace and Perfect Pass +2, then have +1 to the passing team for a <a href=\"https:\/\/coachingvb.com\/scoring-serving-and-passing-effectiveness\/\">2-pass<\/a> and +1 to the serving team for an <a href=\"https:\/\/coachingvb.com\/what-does-out-of-system-mean-in-volleyball\/\">out-of-system<\/a> pass.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rather than the players on one side taking turns serving, you could have a server who scored a point serve again, like in a real game.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Additional Comments:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>This game was shared in a Learning Lab for the <a href=\"https:\/\/coachingvb.com\/2022-avca-virtual-convention-day-1\/\">2022 AVCA Virtual Convention<\/a> by <a href=\"http:\/\/volleyballcoachingwizards.com\/volleyball-coaching-wizard-giovanni-guidetti\/\">Giovanni Guidetti.<\/a> He said his players love it!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Giovanni runs this game using a series of 5 cones on each side.
