Volleyball Serving Drill: Around the World

This drill improves serving accuracy and tactical placement by requiring players to serve to all six zones of the court. It builds control, confidence, and game awareness while keeping the exercise competitive and engaging.

This volleyball serving drill challenges players to serve accurately to all six court zones, improving precision and tactical serving under pressure.

• Players: Two teams, each starting on opposite serving lines
• Court: Full court, with each zone (1–6) designated as targets
• Equipment: Two volleyballs per team, net
• Roles: One player serves, one player sits in the target zone, others wait in line to serve

1. Team A starts behind the serving line with one teammate sitting in Zone 1 on the opposite court.
2. Servers alternate, attempting to serve the ball directly to their seated teammate.
3. When the seated player catches a serve, they return to the serving line, and the successful server moves to sit in Zone 2.
4. Continue this process until the team has successfully served to all six zones in order.
5. Team B runs the same challenge simultaneously from the opposite side.
6. First team to complete all six zones wins the round.
7. Suggested reps: Run 2–3 games, each lasting about 8–10 minutes depending on serving consistency.

• Targeted Practice: Limit serves to weaker zones (e.g., short Zone 4 or deep Zone 1).
• Advanced Challenge: If a serve is missed, the team must start back at Zone 1.
• Time Trial: Race against the clock to complete all six zones as fast as possible.

• Serving Mechanics: Emphasize consistent toss, contact, and follow-through.
• Focus on Accuracy: Players should aim for control over power to hit zones consistently.
• Game Awareness: Discuss how different serving zones impact opponent offensive options.
• Encourage Competition: Keep score or run relays to increase intensity.
• Common Game Situation: Replicates tactical serving where players must target specific passers or zones to disrupt offensive rhythm.

This is a competitive, accuracy-focused drill that works well in the middle or end of practice to keep players engaged while sharpening serving placement.
