SERVING TECHNIQUE: 
Underarm Serve
1) hold ball in non-dominant hand around waist level out in front of you, stood with foot forward in relation to the same side the ball is held on (e.g. ball held in left, left foot forward), striking hand starting down by pocket
2) with hitting hand, create a "flat" fist so ball flies in a straight line
3) aim on the ball where you want to me contact (middle) and look with your eyes where you want the volleyball to end up (at target)
4) back lift striking hand to waist level which will help generate more power and strike ball (by either throwing up into air slightly or lettiing volleyball fall from hand), following through aiming at your target

Students will pair up and practise this technique. Either time students so they get enough turns each or tell them to aim for 10 or 20 serves each.  

OPTIONAL - depending on year level/ability of class!
Overhand Serve
1)  hold ball in non-dominant hand around waist level out in front of you, stood with foot forward in relation to the opposite side the ball is held on (e.g. ball held in left, right foot forward), striking hand starting up by ear/flat hand pointing down to ground
2) sight target on the volleyball as to where your hand will make contact (centre) and look in direction of target
3) toss the ball up directly above your head and acorss to your right side where you will strike the ball by extending your hitting arm and making contact with your palm in the centre of the volleyball whilst simultaneously stepping forward with your left foot to generate more power into the serve
4) follow through with your serve to ensure volleyball will go in intended direction 

Students will move back with their partner and practise overhand serve back and forth to each other - can time or aim for 10 to 20 serves each.

Students will continue using the same partner from the prior activity. Using spots, create an outline of a square defining the playing area. Spread out hula hoops and tall cones inside this space as targets. Shorter cones will be placed inside the hula hoops and act as "treasure". Each pair will position themselves at a spot with one stood on it, the other standing behind them. The coach will call out instructions of which colour hoop to aim for, then count down from three and yell out "hit". Students will aim and strike the volleyball using a serve. If they manage to hit their volleyball into a hula hoop, their team will recieve one point. When the coach blows the whistle, the student that had their turn will move back, whilst the other student will retrieve their volleyball and collect a piece of "treasure" from that hula hoop and place it on their teams spot. If the coach calls out "cone" students will aim, strike the volleyball using the correct serving technique and knock it over - their team will recieve two points and collect that cone. The team with the most treasure at the end will be the winners.  

Divide the class into two teams "Donkeys" & "Ogres". Students will placed on different sides of the net depending on their character. The aim of the game is for students to serve the volleyballs from their side of the net to the other until they have none left. 

RULES:
- students must not kick or hit the volleyball over the net (correct serving technique must be used) 
- if the volleyball goes under the net it will not count - a student on the other side of the net will then need to roll it back under the net to that student so they can try again

PROGRESSIONS:
- set the net at the right height depending on year level/abilities of class
- use different objects for this game (dodgeballs or spike balls - something softer) to make it easier to get over the net
