DESCRIPTION

Players work in pairs and have a ball each. They overhand pass the ball high at the same time and then spike the ball off the floor to each other.

COACHING POINTS

At the beginning it may be difficult even for elite players to spike accurately so they should be instructed to focus on technique rather than on power.

As players must fast switch from spiking to receiving, adjustment ability is built up as well as ball control through spiking.

Glued to the Line:

Players walk around the court stepping on the lines, so walking towards the net, then across the net, then back again.

While doing this, they are overhand passing the ball in the air.

2 Warm Up

Jump Over The Ball:

Players start on one side of the court and have a ball in their hands, and another in the middle of the court.

They overhand pass the ball in their hands forward so that it drops on the other side of the laying ball.

The players then run, jump over the ball and underhand pass the ball back to a teammate who will be waiting at the starting position. The next player will then do the drill.

4 Passing Drills

Pass And Toe:

Players work in pairs with two balls between them. One ball starts on the floor with a player while the other ball is in the hands of the players opposite.

The ball is overhand passes at the same time that the other ball is pushed by the leg of the opposite players.
