Strike out rally pass without block

strike-out-rally-pass-without-block

  • C throws in balls to 1 who brings a rally pass(RP) to position 3.
  • SV may leave when C hits the ball.
  • Sv has choice of 3 attackers.
  • Attackers pick up ball and close behind.


When there is a reasonable setup, the ball should always be hit, but if it cannot be hit because it is too low, for example, another solution must be found.

Pay special attention to the passer/runners and diagonals to adjust their run if the setup is not perfect. They have to make sure that they catch the ball as high as possible in front of their hitting shoulder.

Also make demands on the RP!!!

  • Where should it be placed?
  • How close to the net?

Only allow passing when a certain number of passes are good. If it is easily achieved, throw the ball in harder or increase the number of good passes.

Attackers have to make up for "mistakes" made by the SV. Too often the distributor is told to pass the ball this way or that, while the attacker makes no effort to correct the "mistake" with her run. Keep in mind that they will do everything possible to get the ball in front of the striker's shoulder, so that they can press the ball over the net. After that, they can discuss with the SV how they want to get the ball
