- Playmaker must look for the next ball immediately after the first set-up.
- Attacker, after landing, must go backwards as quickly as possible to make another attack.
- Trainer can indicate where the balls should be hit, determine the pace of set-ups or that passer should do attack coverage immediately after first pass to then pass the second ball.
