Volleyball: Set and Move

Very useful format and descriptions of drills. I am using Sportplan...

Tony

DESCRIPTION

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.

COACHING POINTS

After all players change positions twice, they should change the way they pass - for example underhand for overhand, than for tipping etc.

PROGRESSION

To make it more intensive put at least four players in a group so two would face the other two. After passing the ball the players have to run around the one they passed to and return.

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, call and move:

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.

2 Warm Up

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

One on one underarm passes:

Players compete one on one over the net taking underhand passes only.

Each of the players is allowed to touch the ball twice before returning it across the net.

The player to score 10 points first wins.

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.
