How it Works

  1. The coach will toss the ball into play to the Passer.
  2. The Passer will bump the ball to the Setter.
  3. The Setter will set the ball to the Attacker.
  4. The Attacker will then complete a successful hit over the net.
  5. Have each player rotate so that they get to play each position.
  6. Make sure each group of 3 players gets the opportunity to complete the drill 2-3 times.
