Volleyball drill: passing, defending and attacking

• A serves to B.
• B passes the ball to the playmaker, who then plays a high ball into the backfield.
• B defends this ball back to the playmaker, who then catches the ball.

• A takes B's place and becomes B's reserve. The playmaker remains standing.
• The offside attackers use the left half of the field with one playmaker.
• The middle attackers and diagonal attackers use the right half with another playmaker.

Extension:

• B can attack instead of catching.
• B instead of long ball passing, short ball surfacing.
