Volleyball: Rotation Game

A simple 3 player passing drill, with movement from player 2.



Defensive Dig passes work best.

Divide the court into 3 equal areas with a line across the length of the court. (6m x 9m) 8 player per small court

Start the game with an underarm serve, and the opposition has to catch the ball and throw it back first time with one of the typical volleyball throws.

The player who drops, throws the ball out side the court or in to the net has to leave the court. If the team catches the ball 3 times in a row, one of the players on the side can join back in. A point is scored when the opposition has no players left.

ORGANISATION:
Divide the volleyball court into 3 parts with 8 players per area and 2 teams of 4.

TASK:
Start the game/rally with an underhand serve where the ball hits the ground. If too close to the net, take 2 steps back. Pass the ball over the net in one go with:
- 2 outsrectched arms
- 1 overhand
- 1 underhand

For each team of 4, the rules are:
If you throw the ball across the net, everyone rotates clockwise. If a player drops the ball/throws the ball out of play or into the net, they leave the court. When the ball is caught in the next rally three times in a row the player returns. When the court is empty the other team gets a point.

3 balls in play, teams of 4 in each half of the court.

Each court has 1 ball which they must pass around constantly, with all players participating.

At the same time, each team attempts to pass another ball back and forth between the teams, with the aim of getting the ball to land on the opposition's side of the court.
