Catch and Set

A close up example of a Catch and a Set.

VST:CATCH IN VOLLEY POSITION

Slow Motion Overhand Pass

MVT:VOLLEY

Two Player Set

Players work in pairs setting the ball to one another first time. This can be done with players facing each other without a net or with one player on each side of the net.

Player 1 sets the ball across to player 2 who sets the ball back again.

Ensure passes have enough height on them to allow the rally to continue smoothly.

SMVT:VOLLEY

Self Pass - Dig and Volley rally

To start the exercise, one player volleys the ball to their partner who digs the ball up to themselves then volleys the ball back.

The other player then repeats this pattern.

Underhand rolling

In pairs, the players stand around 3-4m apart. Player 1 rolls the ball along the floor to player 2, then shuffles sideways to the left or right. Player 2 collects the ball and rolls it to player 1. Player 2 then shuffles left or right. The movement while passing the ball should imitate the underhand pass, with both arms straight when passing.

Underhand Serving

A fun and simple way to introduce the serve. Using the underhand serve players pass the ball over the net one another. There should be no loose balls here, players should focus on accuracy as they aim to get the ball up and over. Once again players should be stepping forwards with the opposite leg to the hand that you serve with.

1 Techniques

Underhand Serving: 1

Throw the ball to go under the net and bounce once to your partner stepping forwards with the opposite leg to the hand that you roll with (using body weight) and releasing the ball.

1 Techniques

Underhand Serving: 2

Stage two of the serving progressions; Throw the ball to go over the net and bounce once to your partner stepping forwards with the opposite leg to the hand that you roll with (using body weight) and releasing the ball slightly higher.

1 Techniques

Underhand Serving: 3

Stage three of the serving progressions; Working in pairs, players throw the ball to go over the net to their partner (with no bounce), stepping forward with the opposite leg to the hand that you roll the ball over with (using body weight). So if players throw the ball with their right hand they should step forward with their left foot.
