                                 Target Dimension: A target is marked on the wall with marking chalk. Target is
                                 bounded by a horizontal line of 5 feet length at a height of 11feet and 5 inches from
                                 the floor/ground. The two ends of the horizontal lines are extended upwards, towards

                                                          Figure 14: Marking of the test
                                 Testing Procedure: The participant is asked to make a maximum number of volleys
                                 standing at any point in the front of the target in one minute. He/she is specifically
                                 instructed that only the legal volleys will be counted, that is the participant should
                                 perform real volleys which must hit the wall within the boundaries of the target. If
                                 the ball caught or gets out of control, the participant is asked to repeat from the
                                 start. Two trials may be given and the best one is considered. On a signal of Go ball
                                 is tossed against the wall at the target. On rebound, the ball is volleyed into the
                                 marked target consecutively for one minute, till the stop signal is given.

                                 Scoring Procedure: The number of real volleys in one minute gives the score of
                                 the test.
