Tyler's Drill
This is a warm up 4 v 4 drill. 3 back row players and a setter. One side serves to the other side and they play it out. The three players have to play back row but can hit front row. The setter is the only blocker. The team who wins either stays on the winner side or moves to the winner side and 4 more people come on.
The game is always started with a serve. If the server misses their serve, they go to the end of the line, but the other 3 do not go off the court. It is a fast-paced game, and it moves quickly. I let them play for 5 minutes, and then they keep track of their points for another 5 minutes.
