- Divide students into teams of three
- Set court boundaries to be in front of 3 metre line only
- Teams play games of 3 v 3
- Start play by using an underhand serve from behind 3 metre line and restart play after each point in the same manner
- A point can only be earned when a team uses three forearm passes per side with the third hit going over the net and into opponents playing area in which they are unable to return in the same manner
- Play continues if during a rally one of the three hits is not an underhand pass or if the return is prior to three hits but no point is earned
- Each game will last 5 minutes and then teams will rotate
