The coach loops the ball into the air, slightly to the left or the right of the blue cone, and the first player runs out and bumps the ball back into the coach's hands.
The player then continues in the direction they were moving and touch the red cone. They then shuffle back towards the middle where they receive their second feed from the coach which they bump pass back.
Finally the player shuffles across the other wide cone, touch it and then return to the middle to play the third and final bump pass.
Players should read the coach's feed quickly and position themselves under the ball to play an accurate bump pass.
Players should always be facing the coach throughout this drill (until they finish and join the back of the line).
Volleyball demands explosive power, quick reactions, and endurance for long matches. Sport-specific conditioning prepares athletes for the unique physical demands of the game while reducing injury risk.
Volleyball is the ultimate team sport - no player can dominate alone. Effective communication before, during, and after every play prevents confusion and creates a cohesive, confident team.
Elite attackers don't just hit hard - they hit smart. Shot variety, reading the block, and making good decisions under pressure separate great hitters from one-dimensional power players.
