Main focus: Ball control

Additional focus: Setting, Hand-Eye-Coordination

4 players stand around the net. The ball is played around the net from player to player until 10 touches are reached. The 10th touch is a hit onto the net which is received by the opposite player who starts passing the ball in the other direction as before. The group counts their points (1 point for each hit onto the net after 10 touches). If the ball hits the floor all points are lost. A good game for young, new players.

Variations:

Competition with multiple groups and nets. The team with the highest number of points in X minutes wins.
