Collecting

A stands on a mat next to the ball cart and underhand serves to B. B passes, C sets, and D spikes the ball back to A. A has to catch this ball without stepping off the mat. Before he catches the ball, he serves the next ball to B. A is not allowed to drop any of the balls that he has caught, so he has to find a way to keep hold of them.

The drill is over when A was able to keep hold of a predetermined number of balls. Players change positions after each failed series.

Jumping is prohibited because the drill is meant as a warming-up drill.
