Leader of the Pack

A volleyball serve receive practice drill.

Two players begin as passers (P) in right and left back (if you use a three-man serve receive, do this drill with three passers) and one is at the setting target (T), the remaining players are waiting to begin the drill (Xs) and are also shagging balls. Coach (or you can use your own players) serves the ball to the serve receive side and passers attempt to pass to target. Passers get a point for every target pass (balls that the target can catch with one giant step). If the passer makes a TOTALLY unplayable pass (one that would result in an immediate point for the serving team), she/he is out of the drill and a new player rotates into that passing spot. If she/he makes a playable pass, but it is NOT to target, she/he stays in the drill, but does not receive a point. Players keep a “running total” of their points even though they may rotate out of the drill due to an errant pass. The first player to tally five points (or whatever goal you set), becomes the “leader of the pack”.

NOTE: for younger players, you may want to award points for ANY playable pass, not just target passes, but still have players rotate out of the drill if they make an unplayable pass.
