Assignment: Set to the spiker who is opposite to the shortest blocker.

SD serves and moves into the court to defend. B1, B2, and B3 stand behind each other and choose position when SD serves. The shortest blocker always takes a different position. PH1 and PH2 pass and spike on the outsides. S penetrates and sets.

...

First round:

1. A overhead passes a high ball to B. B forearm passes the ball back.
2. A overhead passes a low ball to B. B forearm passes the ball back.

...

First round (top of the diagram):

A overhead passes all balls; B forearm passes all balls back to A.

...

A sets the ball to B, B spikes the ball to C, and C digs the ball to A. Now, A sets the ball to C, C spikes the ball to B, and B digs the ball to A. A sets to B again, and the drill continues in the same way. In short, A is the designated setter.

...

You can extend the drill playing over the net in pairs of three or four by varying the way players have to move after playing the ball or by adding actions after playing the ball.

...

Team playing defence:
SD serves and move into the court to defend. D1 and D2 defend. B blocks and sets.

Team playing side-out:

...

DH1 plays the ball to setter S, who sets the ball back to DH1 and then moves to the other side of the net. DH1 spikes the ball across the net to DH2. DH2 digs the ball to S, who sets the ball back to DH2 and moves to the other side of the net again. DH2 spikes the ball to DH1 and the drill continues as before.

...

A overhead passes the ball to B. B overhead passes the ball backwards to C. Immediately afterwards, B, D, and A switch positions. C overhead passes the ball to A (who is now in the middle) and the drill continues as before.
