Watch as Coach Shay Goulding Meurer explains, and players demonstrate this competitive two-touch game that encourages productive communication. Players focus on digging a hittable ball — hitting high and off the net. When a team reaches 15 points, they earn a third touch and the first team to 25 wins. This is a great warm-up drill for small groups and is not position-specific. The goal is to cut out the free balls and coach emphasizes that you have to be okay with 'ugly'. Stick with it and every play is better than the last.
