Serve Receive Drill

Purpose: To give the players serving repetitions, and to force them to focus on a serving tactic.

Set-up: Three passers on each side, a target on each side (can be a setter who sets to the outside for repetitions), two or three servers per side.

1. The object is to score 15 points. The servers and passers on one side of the net are on the same team.

2. The servers have to tell each other where to serve the ball. If the server serves an ace, the server’s side gets a point. If the serve is missed, then the server’s side gets minus one point. If the passers pass a perfect ball their side gets a point.

3. The coaches should give the servers a tactic to focus on. Either they should try to serve one player the entire time, serve the seams to cause confusion, mix up the serves to catch them off guard, etc. This should put the servers into a competitive situation where they have to focus on a certain tactic while penalizing them if they miss their serve.
