Serving Side vs Playing Side

A volleyball combination drill.

Line players up on one side as you would in a game. The other side is just serving. Each server serves five (attempts) in a row. The playing side plays the ball out. Depending on your skill level, you can have the playing side simply pass, pass, pass it over; OR pass, set, pass it over; OR pass, set, hit it over. The playing side earns a point each time they successfully play the ball over (which ever method you are using, i.e. “pass, pass, pass”). The playing side rotates with each new server. If you have 12 players, you can have the playing side rotate amongst themselves and after all six players have served on the serving side, have the teams switch roles (playing side becomes servers and servers become playing side), keep score and see which “playing side” can earn the most points. OR, if you have more or less than 12 players, you can just rotate servers into the playing side (have the left back player rotate out of the drill and over to the serving side and have a new player rotate into left front), and set a team goal of 15 or 20 points, or even 10 points of “pass, pass, pass”, 10 points of “pass, set, pass” and 10 points of “pass, set, hit”.
