The player starts in the opponent's zone 3 and overhand passes the ball over the net to zone 3 on the other side of the court. They then move under the net before setting the ball directly to a target.
The target can be anything from another player, to a cone, or even to a netball ring as shown in the video.
This drill is useful for helping players learn to sidestep obstacles on the court such as team mates, while keeping an eye on the ball, and the target.
To make the drill even more difficult, have the player setting the ball further than zone 3, to the attack line, and have them set the ball from there, making them run further and make the target harder to aim for.
New hitters rarely miss because of their arm. They miss because of their feet. Build a reliable approach, then time it with your setter.
When your hitter gets stuffed, five teammates standing and watching is how you lose the point. Good attack coverage turns a blocked ball into a second swing.
Coaches spend hours correcting arms in serve receive when the real fault is almost always the feet. Fix the movement and the platform fixes itself.
