If enough courts are available, teams of less than the regulation six players may be organized. Four-man teams are composed of two setters and two spikers and a diamond formation used (Figure #45). The rotation order is changed so that the spikers play only the two outside positions. A three-man team with one setter and two spikers is another variation. A two-man team or doubles can be either two spikers or one setter and one spiker. Mixed doubles can also be played.

The advantage in reducing the number of players lies in developing the ability to move quickly on the court. Defensively, the block is minimized and emphasis placed on back-line digs of the spiked balls.
