Volleyball Serving Drill: Serving Relay

This drill emphasizes serving accuracy and consistency under pressure while keeping players engaged in a fast-paced, competitive format. By racing as teams, players must stay composed, use correct technique, and deliver successful serves without rushing.

This volleyball serving drill creates game-like pressure as teams compete in a relay to serve accurately and quickly to finish first.

• Players: 2 even teams lined up behind the serving line on the same side of the court
• Court: Full court with serving zones available for targeting
• Equipment: 1 volleyball per team, net
• Roles: Players serve in order, retrieve their ball, and pass it to the next teammate

1. Divide players into two even teams behind the serving line.
2. First player from each team serves the ball.
3. If the serve is successful, they retrieve the ball and pass it to the next teammate in line.
4. If the serve is missed, the player must retry until they make a successful serve.
5. Continue until every player on the team has completed a successful serve.
6. The first team to finish wins the relay.
7. Suggested reps: Run 3–4 relays, each lasting 3–5 minutes, to keep intensity high.

• Zone Focus: Require all serves to land in one specific zone (e.g., short Zone 4).
• Rotating Zones: Assign different zones for each server in the lineup.
• Advanced Challenge: If any player misses a serve, the team must restart from the first player.

• Serving Form: Emphasize consistent toss, body balance, and follow-through.
• Pressure Serving: Players should stay calm and controlled despite racing the clock.
• Encourage Accuracy First: Speed matters, but successful serves win the game.
• Competition Energy: Use the competitive format to simulate game-like pressure.
• Common Game Situation: Mimics serving under pressure during matches where one missed serve can shift momentum.

This drill works perfectly as an end-of-practice competitive finisher to combine skill work with fun team competition.
