Reset Challenge: Dig 50 Balls From Transition With Fewer Feeds

Summary

John Cincola’s reset challenge builds the ability to extend points under fire.

One player feeds from the kitchen (starting around shoulder height — a high, attackable ball). The digger in transition tries to get to 50 successful digs total, but in the fewest balls possible — so a 10-contact rally counts 10 toward 50 on a single feed. Miss → new ball, keep the running total. A strong session lands in the five-to-six ball range (roughly 10 digs per rally).

Key takeaways

• Train digs under attackable feeds from the kitchen line
• Score = total digs toward 50, minimized by sustaining longer rallies
• Target band: ~50 digs in 5–6 balls (~10 per rally)

Action items

• Run one full reset challenge to 50; log balls used
• Repeat weekly — beat last week’s ball count
