Short Serves / Rainbow Shots

How to run it

1. 1

   Athletes at the baseline serve short to the receiving team. The receiving team plays out the ball with a rainbow shot over the heads of the team on the opposite side of the net. Pairs on each side of the net are independent of each other - they DO NOT play out each others attack. Teams get a point each time their attack lands in the last 3 feet of the court. This could be run as a drill or turned into a team competition. You could have teams working together and competing to be the first group to 10 points. Alternately you could have teams compete for points individually - if you gain a point you can stay on to continue to score. The diagram only shows one side of the drill - the same would be happening from the other side.

   Coach emphasis: Keep modified game reps game-like and technically clean.
