Volleyball: Footwork

Develop your players' ability to set accurately and the correct technique for making the overhand pass.

Place four cones so they make the corners of a square.

A player stands at each cone, and using tiny foot movements, moves around it as fast as they can.

On the coach's signal all players change their position, going clockwise. Players must face the net at all times as they would during a match.

In pairs with one ball, both players face each other in the squat position.

The players then have to push the ball at head height with two hands. Heels should not stay in contact with the floor.

On the coach's signal the players should start to push harder and jump in squat position with the aim of making their opponent lose balance.

The one to stay balanced three times wins

Players take it in turns to hop over the red cones, with both feet together and then run to the net and then jump with their arms in the air to perform 3 jumping blocks.

After performing 3 quick and high blocks players turn and run around the blue cones to join the back of the line.

Throw the ball in the air using two hands, move to where the ball is coming down, lay down on the floor and catch the ball.

When you have caught the ball, throw it up in the air, get up and catch it (when laying down be aware as to not bang head on the floor).
