Volleyball: Digging Game

Throw the ball in the air and bend your legs, with arms out in front. Bump the ball up using mainly leg movement not arm swing.

Keep it going, changing which arm you bump the ball with (try and use good rhythm and mainly legs).

Players work in groups of 4.

To start this drill one player throws the ball over the net. The player on the other side moves to be under the ball and then bumps it to the player to their right at the net.

The setter then passes the ball to the fourth player who already has a ball.

As soon as the ball is thrown/served by the feeder the fourth player should throw his ball, bouncing once before it reaches them, so that they're ready to serve the ball as soon as the setter has passed the ball back to the fourth player.

Throw the ball in the air, let it bounce then bend your legs. Put your arms out in front and bump the ball up using mainly leg movement not arm swing.

Keep it going, changing which arm you bump the ball with (try and use good rhythm and mainly legs).

The first player starts the game with a throw over the net.

The two players on the other side of the net communicate - with one moving towards the net and the other who volleys the ball while their partner moves to meet the ball.

The player that has moved to the net faces their partner to receive and return the pass.

The player who first passed the ball moves towards the net and points to where they want the next high pass to be placed.

The player then volleys the ball over the net.

After this both players should return to a side by side playing position ready to play defence and start the drill again.
