Player 1 starts by serving from the base line and then enters the court. He/she then runs into the correct zone (zone 1), where player 2 (standing in zone 4) hits the ball to him/her around waist high. Player 1 then has to dig up the ball, and return it to player 2 as if setting up a spike. Player 1 then returns to their zone, where player 3 (from zone 2) hits the ball to them short in the middle of court. Player 1 then has to dig up the ball back to player 3. Player 1 then returns back to their zone and steps two to three are repeated.

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.

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.

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. The target can be anything from another player, to a cone, or even to a netball ring as shown in the video.

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.

The player starts in zone 6 and overhand passes the ball high. With the ball in the air, the player runs to the net, touches it and runs back to set the ball to the target. The target can be anything from another player, to a cone, or even to a netball ring as shown in the video.
