Good stuff! I'm really looking forward to doing some no-zone-5 4s with my liberos and pins during small group training this spring.
We do a variation of 4s in a square where the person who took the first ball must set the second ball as well. Top 10 drill of all-time so far for me. Works on digging high, delivering 2nd ball (often somewhat on the run), OOS attacking, etc. - can do cooperative version but we often do competitive for quick games to 3 (for us, earned points only) and then switch around as needed. Hits that balance of useful constraints, competitive (and therefore fun), and easily repeatable + lots of reps in a quick amount of time in practice.
