Volleyball: Scatterball

This fun warm up sees players working in pairs 3-4 meters apart.

To start the game the first player rolls the ball to their partner who lets the ball go between their legs before trying to stop the ball by sitting on top of it.

Drill continues in this way.

One team runs clockwise round the inside of the circle with the other team running anti-clockwise around the outside of the circle (blue cones).

When the coach shouts 'Jailbreak' the players inside the inner circle try to 'escape' to outside the 10m x 10m square (yellow cones).

The inside team scores a point for each 'jailbreaker' - swap over. If you have an odd number of players give the defenders the extra man.

Players get into groups of 5 or more and form a circle, initially working with one ball per group.

The aim of this drill is for players to pass the ball around the circle using bump passes, trying to reach 20 passes without dropping the ball.

Two balls per player, who is laid on his/her back.

One ball is kept in his/her hands which are held with straight arms behind/above their head, the other ball is kept between the ankles.

The player then brings his/her legs up as vertical as possible, keeping their legs straight and the ball in control between their ankles.

Once a player lifts his/her legs to around 90 degrees to the hip joints, he/she reaches to touch the ball in their hands with the other ball. After that goes back to laying flat on the floor.
