- Serve and Step to improve your serving skills. Start 5 feet from the net and serve the ball into the appropriate service box. For every successful serve, move one step backward and for every misstep, take one step back toward the net.
- V-O-L-L-E-Y to work on your volleying skills. Hit from each section in the correct order and spell out Volley:
