Variations

Use larger target zones or allow one retry per turn.

Make it harder

Require the serve to cross at the agreed height or hit the back half of the zone.

Optional setup

Use this as the main activity from Volleyball Board. Play for points, bragging rights, or simple rotation first. STUD mode is optional and the activity works without it.

Why it works

It keeps serving reps focused because every attempt has a visible target and progression.

Safety / fair play

Use a safe space, avoid hard contact or unsafe surfaces, adjust for age and skill, and agree on close calls before the round starts.
