The players on one side of the court serve at the same time. If everyone serves well, the group scores a point and the players on the other side serve. If someone makes a mistake, everyone crosses the court and the group starts with zero points again. The goal of the drill is to score (for example) ten points by serving ten times in a row without any errors.

The players have to serve towards targets 1 to 4, in that order. If their serve touches a target, they can move to the next. After one complete round, they score a point.
Each time their serves miss the target, they have to move to the other side of the court and are only allowed back after they have successfully served towards one of the bigger targets. On this side of the court, they must perform jump serves. They can continue where they left off when they move to the other side again.
