Incorporate drills besides a regular volleyball scrimmage in your practice. Mix different rules and formations into scrimmages to work on specific areas of the game. Keep track of points and reward winning teams to keep players motivated and working hard in every drill. Mix teams and drills in order to practice different parts of the game.
Four Square
Place one player in each of the corner squares of the court. Label the squares numbers one, two, three and four, starting at one and moving clockwise. Line up the rest of the players behind square four. The player in square one serves over the net to either square three or four. The object is to volley back and forth to either square without making a mistake. If a player mishits the ball, he or she goes to the end of the line and a new player enters square four. The rest of the players rotate clockwise. The player who stays in the game the longest wins.
Make a Run
Play this game like a normal six-on-six scrimmage. Volleyball.com suggests using a set number of points the serving team must score in a row in order to win the game. Switch serves between teams like a normal game. Whoever gets the set number in a row first wins. Start with at least three points in a row to start and move up from there.
Two-Pointer Wash Drill
Play a normal six-on-six scrimmage. Set up a small area in the back four corners of the court for players to aim at. Volleyball.com says to give players extra points if they can kill the ball into one of the opposite corners of the court. The drill teaches aiming for the deep corners on serves and spikes.
Red White and Blue
Play a scrimmage using only the three back row players. Players are only allowed to pass, set and hit from the back row. An additional setter may be used by the net, but scoring is only allowed from the back row. Keep normal rally scoring and rotate players in as the game is played.
