• Each player 10 balls. Person with most safes wins the game.
• Player 5 picks up any balls and keeps track of the count.

• Everyone on one position, we don't play center.
• Basically you play a small game, with only rallies.
• At each round you walk the lines as an outside attacker, walk from the front of the net to the three meter line to defend the balls within the three meter.
• At every rally that goes well over the net, you rotate one spot.
