Servers are on one side, passers the other. One pair of passers starts on the court in positions 5 and 6. One of the servers serves. The passers pass, then one of the following happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If the pass is a <a href=\"https:\/\/coachingvb.com\/scoring-serving-and-passing-effectiveness\/\">3-pass<\/a>, the passers slide over to 1-6, keeping their same relative positions (i.e. 5 goes to 6, 6 goes to 1).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If it&#8217;s a 2-pass, the passes flip positions (5 to 6, 6 to 5)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the pass is a 1 or an Ace\/Overpass, the passers go off and the pair waiting takes their place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Repeat with the servers alternating for 5 minutes. Each 3-pass is a point for the passing pair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rotate the pairs and repeat such that each pair passes twice and serves once. The winning pair has the highest total score.<\/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 time of the rounds, or define a certain number of good (over and in) serves to ensure all rounds are evenly distributed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you just want to focus on your primary passers, you can just do one round rather than multiple and have non-passers serve and target.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can also count 2-passes as points and\/or give the serving team points for Aces\/Overpasses.<\/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>Having servers going from multiple locations along the end line creates a variety of angles for the passers, and thus differing sets of <a href=\"https:\/\/coachingvb.com\/whose-ball-seam-responsibilities\/\">seam responsibilities<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can run two sets of this on the same court going in opposite directions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can run this as a drill with no scoring if you like.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a game you can use to work in a competitive way on serving and passing, with seams a big focal point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19697,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[448,449,450,453],"class_list":["post-96070","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-volleyball-games","tag-volleyball-serve","tag-volleyball-serve-receive","tag-volleyball-serve-reception","tag-volleyball-serving"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96070","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=96070"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96070\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96070"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=96070"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=96070"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
