Volleyball Drill Name - USA
Goal - Fast-paced 6-vs-6 drill. Teams must win a “U” rally, an “S” rally, and an “A” rally to score a point.
How to play - Create two teams of six and place each team on one side of the net. A coach starts the drill by tossing a free ball to one of the teams. If the receiving team wins that rally, it earns a “U.” After a “U” is earned, a coach sends another freeball to the same team. If the receiving team wins that rally, it earns an “S.” After an “S” is earned, a coach sends another freeball to that same team. If the receiving team wins that rally, it earns an “A” and scores a point.
Each time a team scores a big point, have the players on each team rotate to a new spot on the court or have the entire team rotate to a new rotation.
If at any time the receiving team loses a rally, the non-receiving team earns a “U” and will get the next freeball with an opportunity to earn an “S” and an “A” if it continues to win rallies.
How to Keep Score - After a team wins an “A” rally, that team scores a point.
Time - Play to a certain amount of big points or for a certain amount of time.
Benefits - Lots of good 6-vs-6 reps in a variety of phases.
