The server starts this drill with a serve to the receivers on the opposite side. The middle starts at the net and backs off after the ball is served. The passers aim to pass the ball well enough to set the middle a quick set. No high sets are allowed in this drill. The middle must hit a hard driven ball that doesn't touch the tape.
There are no blockers in this drill, but the three diggers in the back row attempt to make the dig. The setter works both sides of the net, ducking underneath the net each time the ball crosses to the other side.
Diggers rotate clockwise after every serve. Receiving team does not rotate until one team is victorious.
The serving team scores if they get an ace or if the middle fails to get a hard-driven attack on a quick set. If the diggers dig the middle's hit, there are no points awarded. The receiving team scores only if the middle puts a quick set down on the other side.
