The steps

How it works

  1. Receive 20 serves.
  2. After each pass, give it a 3 (perfect), 2, 1 or 0.
  3. Add up your score and write it down.
  4. Next time, try to beat your own average.

Coaching point

Rate it honestly, then improve.

Make it fun

Play it, don't drill it

Game version

Pass-to-target pairs: a partner tosses or serves softly and you pass to a target. The pair counts good passes, then swaps.

Challenge

Pick a level: Less (close), Core (medium), More (to a small target). Beat your own best out of 10.

Story

You are a mail carrier delivering the ball to the setter’s door.

My best

Beat your own count

Beat your own best out of 10. Only your own number counts: today against last time.
