Baseline To Zone:

Three players stand on one side of the court with a receiver on the other.

One setter stands near to the net while another is one the baseline, and a spiker is on the wing. The receiver passes the ball to a setter who sets the ball up to the other setter and runs back to the baseline. The other setter now passes to the player on the wing and runs back to the baseline, while the spiker now hits a winner over the net before returning to the baseline.
