Volleyball: Overhand Pass and Quarter Turn

Very useful format and descriptions of drills. I am using Sportplan...

Tony

DESCRIPTION

Players work in pairs and stand across the court from each other. One player starts with the ball and overhand passes the ball high in the air.

While the ball is in the air, the player makes a quarter turn and sets again before turning again. The player keeps doing this until they have made a 360 turn, at which point they set to their teammate who does the same.

COACHING POINTS

By turning, players improve their orientation and awareness.

PROGRESSION

Ask players to turn around clockwise and counter-clockwise.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Overhand-Underhand Mixing:

Players work in pairs and stand across the court from each other. One player starts with the ball and overhand passes the ball high in the air to their teammate.

The teammate then sets the ball in the air above their head, digs it on the way down, and then sets the ball back to their teammate who does the same thing.

Pass And Run:

Working in pairs, one player passes the ball and runs around their teammate before returning to their original position. The teammate then does the same.

Pass And Run Quickly:

Players work in pairs and stand across the court from each other. One player starts with the ball and overhand passes the ball high in the air to their teammate.

The teammate then overhead passes the ball in the air continuously while the teammate accelerates, runs around the other player and returns to their starting position to receive the ball back, where the teammate will now do the same thing.
