<p>One player <a title="performs the serve" href="http://www.volleyballblog.org/category/volleyball-skills/volleyball-serving/">performs the serve</a>.</p>

<p>On the other side of the net, player in the middle needs to <a title="move fast" href="http://www.volleyballblog.org/category/volleyball-drills/running/">move fast</a> to help his teammates making block.</p>
<p>When attack has finished, coach immediately throws the ball to libero for counter attack.</p>
<p><span id="more-890"></span><br />
Libero passes the ball to setter and the same procedure continues.</p>
<p>Goals: Practicing counter-attack right away, adjusting players to what can happen if the first <a title="attack" href="http://www.volleyballblog.org/category/volleyball-drills/attack/">attack </a>wasn&#8217;t successful.</p>

<p>First team have <a title="all posibilities for attack" href="http://www.volleyballblog.org/description-of-players-positions/">all posibilities for attack</a> (zone 2, zone 3, zone 4, zone 6). Team should win a point.</p>
<p>When first team finishes their <a title="attack" href="http://www.volleyballblog.org/category/volleyball-drills/attack/">attack</a>, coach throws a ball high to setter in the other team. Setter should set high ball to zones 2, 4 and 6 so the players in first team can perform block with three players.</p>
<p><span id="more-726"></span></p>
<p>When teams win two points, that counts as one big point. The game should be player untill one team wins five big points in every rotation.</p>
<p>Goals:  Improving attack and counter-attack play with  two and three players in block.</p>
