One player in the middle spikes the ball to a player, who will set the ball up and another player must set it back to the spiker.

COACHING POINTS

As players almost do not run they cool down their muscles but they still work on technique.

Baseline To Zone:

Three players stand on one side of the court with a receiver on the other.

One setter stands near to the net while another is one the baseline, and a spiker is on the wing. The receiver passes the ball to a setter who sets the ball up to the other setter and runs back to the baseline. The other setter now passes to the player on the wing and runs back to the baseline, while the spiker now hits a winner over the net before returning to the baseline.

Line To Line Run:

Set up as shown with cones on the baseline and the attack line.

Players start on the baseline and they have to run to the attack line and then return to the baseline. Once here, they then run to the centre line and then back to the baseline.

On the next run, they run to the attack line again and back, then to the centre line and back, and repeat this.

2 Warm Up

Cones Cross:

Set up as shown with 5 cones on the court, with one in the middle. The player starts at the centre cone and needs to run to each cone via the centre cone.

2 Warm Up

Pass And Run:

Working in pairs, one player passes the ball and runs around their teammate before returning to their original position. The teammate then does the same.
