Setup
Both players at the kitchen line, straight across from each other.
Reps
Play to 11, attacker changes every game
How to run it
- 1Dink straight on. One player is the designated attacker.
- 2The attacker may speed up any ball that is above net height; the defender may only block or reset until the rally is neutral.
- 3Score a point for the attacker on a clean winner, a point for the defender on a successful reset that leads to a neutral dink.
- 4Switch roles after each game.
Watch for
- Speeding up balls that are below the net
- Attacking to the strong side
- Defender backing up off the line
Make it harder
Remove the designated roles: either player may attack, and the point plays out.
