Iowa State’s Christy Johnson-Lynch, the 2022 AVCA Midwest Coach of the Year, introduces drills to improve and invigorate your serve and pass techniques. Johnson-Lynch talks about how drills can be strategically placed in your practice sessions, and, be competitive, to make these type of drills less routine and more important to a practice by contributing to player development/growth and game-readiness. 

The drills Johnson-Lynch shares go from one server - by themselves - to adding other activities for the server to do once the serve is successful. 

Johnson-Lynch also shares suggestions on serving strategy, serving after a time out and adds excellent coaching points and takeaways throughout the video.

Johnson-Lynch then introduces several additional drills by adding passers - starting with a 2-on-2 drill, then 4-on-4 drill, a 6-on-6 drill, the ‘ISU Drill’ and others. 

The drills shared are competitive and serve a wonderful secondary purpose as great conditioning exercises.

This video is a great video to make serve and pass drills a more competitive and less routine!
