Volleyball: Consecutive passes

Keep the point alive and create winning opportunities by perfecting the best underarm passing technique. Develop control in your play by teaching you players about their positioning, and movement before, during and after the digs.

In pairs, get the players to face each other.

Player 1 underarm throws the ball high to his/her partner so they have to receive the ball using the dig method, and then they catch it.

The player who received the ball then passes the ball back to the partner who receives the ball using the dig method, and then catches it.

In pairs, one of the players throws the ball underhand to his/her partner.

The receiver must:

• Stands in ready position
• Keeps their arms in front on themselves in the digging position
• Let the ball bounce off their forearms
• Hold the position

In pairs, the players face each other.

Player 1 throws the ball underarm to his/her partner.

Player 2 receives the ball using a dig method, and hits it high in the air, lets it bounce once, and then returns the ball to his/her partner using the underarm pass method.

In pairs, the players stand around 3-4m apart.

Player 1 rolls the ball along the floor to player 2, then shuffles sideways to the left or right.

Player 2 collects the ball and rolls it to player 1. Player 2 then shuffles left or right.

The movement while passing the ball should imitate the underhand pass, with both arms straight when passing.
