The coach will tell the players inside the circle what they will be working on.

Volleys with Laces, Volleys with instep, Thigh Volley, 1 touch pass, 2 touch pass, turns, etc

The cylce goes for 1 minute with players in the center resetting there each time before finding a new partner.

Coaches encourage game speed approaching the player serving the ball and recovery speed as the check back to the middle.
