Volleyball Serve Receive Drill: Serve Receive Lines

This drill develops serve receive skills by giving players repeated passing reps against live serves. It emphasizes proper footwork, quick rotation, and passing accuracy to a target. By rotating continuously, players stay engaged and practice receiving serves from different court positions.

This volleyball serve receive drill builds passing consistency as players practice receiving serves straight across the court and rotating quickly.

• Players: 3 servers, 3 passers on court, 3 passers waiting to rotate in
• Court: Full court with servers on one end line and passers opposite
• Equipment: Volleyballs, net
• Roles: Servers deliver balls, passers receive and pass to target, waiting players rotate in

1. Position 3 servers evenly along the end line of one side.
2. Place 3 passers directly across from them on the opposite side.
3. Servers serve straight across to their assigned passer.
4. Each passer attempts to pass to the target, then rotates off the court.
5. A new passer rotates in immediately to take their spot.
6. Servers continue serving straight across to the new passers.
7. Suggested reps: Each passer should complete 8–10 quality passes per round, about 2–3 minutes of work before full rotation.

• Competition Variation: First group to achieve a set number of accurate passes wins.
• Rotate lines between games so players practice from multiple serve receive zones.
• Clock Challenge: Groups race against a timer to complete a required number of good passes before time expires.
• Target Scoring: Award points for passes landing in a designated setter zone to increase precision.

• Switch Lines: Ensure passers rotate into different lines to practice receiving from all court angles.
• Communication: Call every ball early and clearly.
• Footwork: Stay low, shuffle to get behind the ball—avoid lunging.
• Consistency: Controlled, accurate passes to the target are more valuable than one strong pass.
• Common Game Situation: Prepares players for serve receive rotations where servers consistently target different zones of the court.

This drill is ideal as an early practice serve receive warm-up that provides high-repetition passing opportunities for all players.
