Yesterday, we discussed the concept of Terminal Serves. As a quick review, a Terminal Serve is an ace or a service error by either team. Our Terminal Serve points are our aces plus the opponent service errors. Our opponent Terminal Serve points are their aces plus our service errors.
Joe, I am sorry to be dense but I do not see an exact definition of what you mean exactly by 1-way aceball. Does this mean that the team starting “up” never serves, and instead gets a point for every successful side out? Sorry if I am missing the exact definition. Thanks! Mike
Yeah, a "1-Way" drill means your "A-side" never serves and is only on Sideout. And then generally you just cycle different players through your A-side.
The disadvantage of a 1-way drill is that it has a slightly different flow than an actual game, which is, of course, 2-way. The advantage is that it concentrates work on the sideout phase, which most teams struggle with, and it makes things easier to coach because the action is going the same way every time. So if you want to coach your liberos on passing, you can always stand on the receiving side. Or stay in a consistent spot to coach your setter, etc.
Hi Joe, I think you may have a typo in your paragraph about 1-Way Variation. I am checking to make sure I am understanding correctly. This sentence: If you find the receiving team consistently winning, have them start up [should be *down*] 21-24 or 18-23 and adjust the scoring to keep it competitive. Correct? Sorry to trouble you; I just want to make sure I am following. Thanks! Mike

Woops I noticed a mistake in the question. The middle sentence should read: "Does this mean that the team starting “Down” never serves" (not "up").
And as always, great answers Joe. Thanks for your incredible attention to detail.
I followed you :)
You got it exactly!
