Scramble to 7

Objective:

Fast-paced 6-vs-6 game to help teams perform well in chaotic situations.

How to play - Create two teams of six players, with one team on each side of the court.

Start the drill with a serve from one team to the other. Following the first rally, every following rally is initiated by a "scramble ball" toss from a coach to the team that won the previous rally. The types of scramble balls can include:

  • Hard spikes
  • Deep tosses behind the court
  • Tips
  • Balls off the net

The first team to win seven rallies wins that rotation. Move each team to a different rotation and play again.

How to keep score - Each rally is worth a point.

Time - Each game to seven points should take only two minutes to play. If you play all six rotations, this drill would take approximately 15 minutes.

Variations - Coaches should use the scramble balls to help the players improve in specific areas where improvement is most needed.

Benefits - This is a good fast-paced fitness game, perfect for the end of a practice.

Emphasis - Transition offense & transition defense.
