Volleyball Competitive Drill: Reverse Sideout Game

This drill trains teams to focus on terminating the ball during serve receive situations. By only awarding points on successful sideouts, it teaches the importance of first-ball offense and sharpens execution under pressure. Players learn to value serve receive, communication, and strong attacking as keys to scoring.

This volleyball drill emphasizes offensive termination by rewarding points only when a team successfully wins a rally off serve receive.

• Players: Two full teams (6v6 or adjusted for numbers)
• Court: Full court with normal rotations
• Equipment: Volleyball, net, scoreboard or counters
• Roles: One team serves, the other attempts to sideout; all rallies are live

1. Divide into two full teams and rotate into standard game positions.
2. Serving team begins the rally with a legal serve.
3. Play out the rally normally.
4. Scoring Rules:
   If the receiving team wins the rally, they score 1 point and keep the serve.
   If the serving team wins the rally, no points are scored, but the other team rotates to serve.
5. Teams may only score points by winning off serve receive.
6. Play until a team reaches a set score (e.g., 15, 21) or for a set time limit (10–15 minutes per game).

• Double Points: Award 2 points for winning a rally off serve receive, 1 point for winning off a serve.
• Rotation Requirement: Teams must earn a certain number of points before rotating.
• Short Game: Play mini-games to 7 or 11 for quicker rotations and higher intensity.

• Terminate the First Ball: Stress the importance of attacking aggressively on the first swing.
• Serve Receive Discipline: A strong pass is the foundation of the offense.
• Setter Decision-Making: Encourage quick, smart sets to maximize termination chances.
• Communication: Constant talk between passers, setter, and hitters improves execution.
• Common Game Situation: Replicates match scenarios where sideouts are essential to maintain control and win games.

This drill is excellent as a competitive, game-like finisher to end practice, building pressure around serve receive and first-ball termination.
