Serves may be overhand or underhand, but the form grade will be one point higher for overhand serves. Hitting with approach/down ball– Athletes will hit 5 down balls from behind the 10-foot line from a toss by one of the coaches. Only balls going over the net and hitting inbounds will score points. Athletes will have the option of advancing to hitting off a tossed ball, with an approach during this test. ½ Mile Run - Run 800 meters on the track for time. Score is based on best time.
