Volleyball: Set, call and move

I can't get enough of Sportplan. It's given me back the enthusiasm...

DESCRIPTION

Players stand in square formation. The aim is to set the ball vertically all the time. Player one starts in the middle of the 'square' and sets the ball high. He/she calls the name of the next setter and runs to take his/her place at the corner of the 'square' The player whose name has been called runs into the middle of the 'square', sets the ball high and call the name of another player. The player who has just set then runs to the position of the player he/she has just called out to.

COACHING POINTS

To begin, allow the players to let the ball bounce once after the high set so the called player can get into position properly.

PROGRESSION

As players'skill levels increase get them to complete the drill without the ball bouncing

Competitive passing and court awareness drills

By keeping the session fun and encouraging some competition amongst the team, it will develop your players ball skills and court awareness in a way that will keep them engaged and motivated ready for match days.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Set and Move:

In threes the players line up in a row, around three metres apart from each other.

The players on either end of the line face each other, Player 1 (standing in the middle) starts the drill by passing the ball to one of his/her team mates.

Player 1 then runs and swaps position with player 2, who he/she has just passed to.

Player 2 passes the ball to player 3, then runs to swap position with player who has just received the ball.

Player 3 then passes the ball to player 1 and runs to swap position with him/her.

4 Passing Drills

4 in a team - setting and passing across the net:

In fours have two players on one side, the other two on the other side of the net.

All of them make one team. Have the players on either side of the net face each other, with one player standing at the net, the other on the attack line.

Player 1 then passes the ball to player 2 (who is standing nearest to the baseline on the opposite side of the net) Player 2 then passes to player 3 (who is standing facing player 2 on his/her side of the net).

Player 3 then returns the ball back to player 2, who in turn passes back over the net to player 1.

At this point player 2 and 3 swap positions. Player 1 then passes to player 4 (who is standing facing player 1 on his/her side of the net).

Player 4 then returns the passes the ball back to player 1, who in turn passes back over the net to the player standing on the attack line.At this point player 1 and 4 swap positions

4 Passing Drills

Baseline dig, move and spike:

In pairs player 1 stand at the net on the opposite side of the court to player 2, who is standing close to the attack line facing the net.

Player 1 then passes the ball to the baseline on the opposite side of the net.

Player 2 runs back and digs the ball back to the net, where player 1 is now standing after moving underneath the net into the setting position after the initial pass.

Player 2 then runs from the baseline and spikes the ball. He/she then moves underneath the net to the opposite side of the court to begin the drill again.

Each pair has 10 attempts, the best ratio of 'well done/missed' wins.
