Volleyball: Receive From Zone 6 and Spike

A slightly more advanced drill involving a pass to set and smash.

The player at the back of the court passes the ball to a setter and lies down. The setter then overhand passes the ball high before setting the ball up for the other player, who has now returned to his feet, to approach and spike the ball.

Player 1 (the spiker) passes the ball to player 2 (the setter) who sets it up for the spiker to attack with the aim of landing the ball on one of the target mats placed in various positions on the court.

In groups of 4, pair up and set the ball to each other. On the blow of a whistle, all players swap to the other side of the net, whilst continuing to set to each other.

Feed to player 2 who defensive digs the ball to player 1 to set to player 2, who smashes the ball to player 3 who defensive digs the ball to player 2 to set to player 3.

This drill can be used as a base for a variety of attacks. Player 1 (acting as an opposition player), serves to player 3 who defensive digs to player 4. Player 4 sets the ball to player 2, who will have made an attacking run to meet the ball and smashes it over the net.

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.

Spiker aims to spike the ball in between the lines in zone 2.

Players stand opposite each other with a mat in between them. One player starts with the ball and throws it up in front of them, before diving forward and digging the ball to their teammate. They should throw the ball so that their dive lands safely on the mate.
