Description
- There will be three players on each side of the net.
- P1 and P2 should stand at normal serve-receive depth
- P3 should be waiting in the “pre-set” (middle of the court, three to four meters from the net).
- P4, P5 and P6 should be in the same formation on the other side of the net. P3 and P6 are the full time setters.
- P1 and P5 will each start with a ball in hand. AT THE SAME TIME, P1 throws over the net to P4 and P5 throws over the net to P2. From this point on, it is three touch volleyball with the middle player setting every second touch.
- The passer/hitters should only hit line. Rotate everyone after two or three minutes. Later, move to hitting only cross
