The teams continue to rally until a dead ball occurs. The primary focus of the setter is to get the ball to the middle hitter. The middle hitter must continually make adjustments to attack various zones at various speeds to remain in the offense. If the setter cannot get the ball to the middle, she has the option of setting the back row players behind the ten foot line or dumping the ball. Both players stand at the 10 foot line to start.
Players serve to their partner - the partners catch the balls and serve it back to their partners.
Continue for 10 serves each. After 10 serves, each player backs up 10-feet and repeats 10 more serves. After 10 more serves, each player backs up to the endline and repeats 10 more partner serves. Instead of simply catching the serve, have each player pass the serve up to herself, catch it and then serve it back. Setters work on repetition of any particular set.
