Volleyball: Backwards overhand passing

Description

1) In pairs the players stand facing each other on opposite sides of the court with one ball between them. 2) Player 1 then underhand throws the ball above his/her head, turns 180 degrees to face the opposite direction, and passes the ball to their partner. 3) Player 2 catches the ball and repeats step 2. 4) Repeat steps 2 and 3 for a set time.

Coaching points

The player's throw should be high enough for him/her to have time to turn around and prepare for the pass to their partner.
