Volleyball: Grassroot serving

Very useful format and descriptions of drills. I am using Sportplan...

Tony

DESCRIPTION

2 players 1 ball. The player serving has to hit the ball over the net so that the other player can catch the ball.

If they are successful 3 times in a row the player can take a step back and move closer to the back line.

Once players reach the back line they can swap roles.

COACHING POINTS

Control the weight movement from back to front when serving.

Look at the tension in the hitting hand (should be like giving a high five).

Amoeba serve game:

The drill starts with a player from each side serving a ball. They then go and sit down where their serve landed - assuming it went in (if not they join the back of the line and will have to serve again in a minute).
The rest of the players then start serving, trying to serve to their teammate on the other side of the net. If successful and their team-mate catches the ball, they go join them.
The drill ends when one team has all of their players reach the other side.

2 Player Serve:

Players 1 and 2 serve 5 balls each. Players 3 and 4 pass the ball to player 5 who catches the ball and rolls it back under the net to the servers. Servers should try and serve into the open court to make it difficult for the receivers

Target practice:

Divide court into six and challenge players to hit the area you call out.

Serve and Follow:

Half the group at one end and the other half at the other end.

Taking it in turns players serve the ball and use their serving momentum to follow the ball, run and collect your ball.

Repeat from the other end.
