Setup
A coach (CO) is on the attack line on one side of the court with a trolley of balls. On the other side, a setter (S) awaits in Zone 3. Two non-active (B) & (D) players stand on the baseline in zones 5 & 6. The two active players (A) & (B) start on the attack line.
Step 1
The coach (CO) tosses or spikes a ball towards the side of player (A).
Step 2
Player (A) then digs or passes towards the setter as accurately as possible.
Step 3
Meanwhile, the coach (CO) also tosses or spikes a ball towards the side of player (B).
Step 4
Once player (A) passes to the setter, they must run and swap position with player (B) who returns as quickly as they can to receive the next spike/toss.
Step 5
Player (B) also does the same, but swaps with player (D).
Step 6
After each pass, the setter (S) passes the ball under the net back to the coach (CO).
Step 7
As a progression, the coach (CO) can mix up the speed and difficulty of the spikes/tosses.
