March 2024 Coaching Tip

Tip by Denise Rose from Guilford, IN.Volley BaseballThis is my drill to work on converting serve receive to attacks, while working on more aggressive serves.Divide into 2 teams, can be 5 v 5, the serving team is trying to score runs, the defensive team is trying to get 3 outs.An out is achieved if they convert a serve receive pass into an attack.
