Volleyball: Walking Setters

Make sure your players are ready to receive the ball from any position in this awareness and footwork session!

Introduction of basic tactics; throwing the ball into space on the designated court, catch in a volley position in front and above the forehead and throw from a volley position in front and above the forehead. You can't move with the ball and must face the net at all times.

One of the partners has the ball and holds it out away from their body in front of their belly button. The player then turns and drops the ball and the partner has to move and catch the ball before it bounces twice and they repeat (no dummy moves and the ball must land twice in the same place).

As they get better at the game, the player catching the ball must be facing their partner when they catch the ball and the ball must be caught with their hands just in front of and between their knees.

The catcher then must turn and drop the ball within 1 or 2 seconds. You play this game for points or time.

Feeder feeds ball over the net for players to run into position so that the ball is landing in front of them. They then move forwards letting the ball go through their legs (don't jump).

Players stand on opposite sides of the net at the attack line. They shuffle across the court and set the ball over the net to each other.
