Set up

# of players : 4-8 players
Ideal : 4 players
Equipment : 1 ball +
Average duration : 15-35 minutes

Two teams will be on opposing sides of the net. The other teams should be waiting off the court, ready to play.
The coach starts the drill by feeding a free ball to the team with less points.
From the coach’s feed, the frst time each team plays the ball, they are only allowed one touch.
The second time each team plays the ball, they must use only two touches.
The third time each team plays the ball and every time after, they must use three touches.
The only exception is if you block a ball. If you block a ball, play continues as if you used the proper touch sequence.
If you win the point and have not played the ball or have only used your one touch chance, you get 3 points.
If you win the point and have only gotten to your two touch opportunity, you get 2 points.
Anything after that is worth 1 point. If a team does not use the proper amount of touches to return the ball. The point is over.
Play mini games to 7 points. First team to win 5 mini games wins the drill
