This is another really fun but challenging game for older players, and relies on strong ball control skills.

Set up a "volleyball court" of about 20-25 x 20-25 yards, with discs along the "midline". There are 4-5 players on each side (for large teams either rotate players in on each point, or set up a second court).

Similar to real volleyball, the game starts with one side "serving" the ball over to the other side with a soft punt. The other team will try and return it. The conditions that apply, however, include:

• The ball must stay in bounds.
• The ball is allowed to bounce only one time (if needed) on each side before it is played back.
• Each team may only use a combined five touches before playing the ball to the other side (adjust this total as necessary).
• No low kicks across the net. Pretend there's a real net there which the ball has to go over (height dependent upon age and skill level).

If any of these conditions are broken, a point is awarded to the other team. Play to a specified point total.

Encourage your players to use all parts of their body (except their hands) as they play the ball back and forth.
