Volleyball: Pass And Run

I can't get enough of Sportplan. It's given me back the enthusiasm...

Cornel

DESCRIPTION

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.

COACHING POINTS

By continuously running, players work on endurance while also focussing on passing.

PROGRESSION

If you want to add some speed to the drill, ask players to run as fast as and as many times as possible there and back before a teammate passes the ball over their head 10 times.

4 in a team - setting and passing across the net

In fours have two players on one side, the other two on the other side of the net.

All of them make one team. Have the players on either side of the net face each other, with one player standing at the net, the other on the attack line.

Player 1 then passes the ball to player 2 (who is standing nearest to the baseline on the opposite side of the net) Player 2 then passes to player 3 (who is standing facing player 2 on his/her side of the net).

Player 3 then returns the ball back to player 2, who in turn passes back over the net to player 1.

At this point player 2 and 3 swap positions. Player 1 then passes to player 4 (who is standing facing player 1 on his/her side of the net).

Player 4 then returns the passes the ball back to player 1, who in turn passes back over the net to the player standing on the attack line.At this point player 1 and 4 swap positions

Overhand Pass and Quarter Turn

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.

Set And Shuffle

Two players stand on each side of the court, with two balls between the four players. These two balls should be with players on the same side. The two players with balls set to the players opposite them, and switch places with the other player who set the ball. The players opposite meanwhile, set the ball back but stay where they are.

Overhand throw-catch

Each player has a ball. The player starts with the ball above their shoulders in front of their face in the overhand passing position.

The task is to throw the ball up with both hands from the forehead position, just like they would during passing and catching it back in a game.

zone 2 and 4

Player 1, standing at the net, performs a block movement, and returns back to zone 1 behind the attack line. Player 2 (standing close to the net in zone 4) then hits the ball to player one to mimic an opponents spike. Player 1 then digs up the ball to player 3 (who is standing close to the net in the centre of the court), who then sets up player 1 to finish with a right side attack. The drill is then repeated.

Zone 3

Player 1 (setter) in Zone 3 jumps to imitate a block at the net, lands and turns to face the back of the court. Player 2 then feeds a high ball (a) to player 1. Player one will then set the ball up close to the net on the left hand side of the court (b) so player 3 (running in from zone 5) can finish with a left side attack. Players 1 and 2 then repeat steps 2 and 3. This time player 1 sets up the ball close to the net on the right hand side of the court (c) so player 4 (running in from zone 1) can finish with a right side attack. Repeat steps one and two, but this time player 2 should set the ball up (d) so player 1 can attempt a ball tipping.

Zone 3 Spin And Set

Player starts behind the attack line and overhand passes the ball to zone 3 and runs forward to the net. Once in zone 3, the player overhand passes the ball high, before turning around and setting the ball directly to a target.

Zone 5

This task will get your players used to receiving a serve and preparing in second fraction to dig up a spike from Zone 4 and Zone 2. Player 1 serves from the opposite side of the court into zone 5. Player 2 (acting as a back row player) then digs up the ball. Player 3 (standing close to the net in zone 4) then spikes the ball to player 1, who has to dig up the ball. Player 4 (standing close to the net in zone 2) then spikes the ball to player 1, who again has to dig up the ball.

Zone 6

The ball is served to player 1, who is standing in zone 6. Player 1 then digs up the ball (a) to player 2 (standing close to the net in zone 2). Player 3 then throws the ball (b) from zone 4 to player 1 who has to either bump or set the ball (c) depending on the way the ball is fed to them. Player 2 then feeds the ball (d) to player 1, who again either has to bump or set the ball (e). After a set number of repetitions of the previous steps, player 1 must set the ball (f) from Zone 6 to Zone 4 for a spike (g).
