I play where strong people are lined together and weaker players are lined together. This sets up very obvious lopsided effect that works very advantageous for weaker players to step up to the plate and take it home.

1. Weaker players are less confused with plays without going over their head, they don't have to strain their kneck tracking those balls.
2. Weaker players get the chance to see good connection between setter and hitter on quicks, outsides, and tandems while on the floor.
3. Weaker players have to depend on themselves to make play connection without having to rely on a better player in between them to save the play.
4. Obvious lopsided serve recieve pattern if necessary. You may have to push the weaker players into corners, bury them in the net, or overshadow them if the stakes become the difference in a very close match.

While this may serve to isolate the weaker players from the main players and often upsets most people, the reality of skills improvement does not come from game play only. The importance of training and practice will account for more than half of a player's skills to as much as perhaps 90% of their skills. The rest is game play experience that serves the purpose of showcasing all of the training and practices. The weaker players with the correct competitive attitude will have to improve very quickly to compliment the rest of the team. Each person can only truly be responsible for their own unforced errors.
