• Players: 2 players with 1 volleyball
• Court: Can be run anywhere on the court or in small spaces
• Equipment: Volleyballs

1. Player A begins with a toss to Player B.
2. Player B performs the sequence:
   Pass to self
   Set to self
   Down ball to partner
3. Player A repeats the same sequence: pass, set, down ball back.
4. Continue back and forth until the ball hits the ground.
5. Suggested reps: Each pair completes 15–20 continuous rallies, or run for 4–6 minutes total as a warm-up.

• Increase difficulty by requiring higher passes and sets.
• Add footwork restrictions (e.g., stay low, shuffle only).
• Play for points: 1 point per successful exchange without error.

• Stress high, controlled passes to allow enough time for the set.
• Remind players to use a consistent setting technique with proper hand placement.
• Encourage snapping the wrist on the down ball for control and realism.
• Focus on smooth transitions between each skill without rushing.
• Common Game Situation: Reinforces the three-touch sequence (pass-set-hit) used in every rally, preparing players for live gameplay.

This is a perfect warm-up drill for integrating all three volleyball contacts while keeping players moving and sharp.
