Volleyball: Amoeba serve game

As someone who is new to coaching this site was just what I needed,...

DESCRIPTION

The drill starts with a player from each side serving a ball. They then go and sit down where their serve landed - assuming it went in (if not they join the back of the line and will have to serve again in a minute).
The rest of the players then start serving, trying to serve to their teammate on the other side of the net. If successful and their team-mate catches the ball, they go join them.
The drill ends when one team has all of their players reach the other side.

COACHING POINTS

As the drill goes on there will be a growing target on the other side of the net. This makes the drill easier for players who struggle with their serving.

You'll also probably find your players encouraging one another and being supportive which will help improve team chemistry.

PROGRESSION

To make this harder you can enforce the rule that the seated player must catch the ball for the serve to count.
