DESCRIPTION

Two players stand in the middle of the court with their backs facing each other. Meanwhile, two players are on the outside of the court, either side of the players in the middle. The ones in the middle set the ball to the outside and then switch places with the other player in the middle, but keep their backs facing each other.

COACHING POINTS

Both setters must set similar quality balls so they can change their positions easily and have appropriate time to prepare for the next ball.

PROGRESSION

To increase footwork required, shorten the distance between inside-outside players and have them play quick balls.
