DESCRIPTION

Working in pairs, one player sets the ball to the their partner who moves to meet the ball using good footwork to bump the ball back to their partner who catches the ball.

Ensure the player bumping the ball lets the ball bounce on their wrists and only makes minor adjustments to give direction to the ball (back to the setter).

COACHING POINTS

The setter shouldn't have to move to receive the return pass, only the player digging the ball should move to get themselves in a position where they can get under the ball.

Players must perform this skill 5 times before swapping roles.

Progression:

Players can try to perform this skill continuously, without catching the ball.

Game Passing Practice

Players work in groups of 4.

To start this drill one player throws the ball over the net. The player on the other side moves to be under the ball and then bumps it to the player to their right at the net.

The setter then passes the ball to the fourth player who already has a ball.

As soon as the ball is thrown/served by the feeder the fourth player should throw his ball, bouncing once before it reaches them, so that they're ready to serve the ball as soon as the setter has passed the ball back to the fourth player.

4 Player Passing Rotation

Working in 4's with the final player throwing the ball back to the feeder under the net.

Once the drill starts the setter passes the ball to a target player at the net.

The net player then sets the ball for the wide player who receives it and then returns the ball ready for the drill to start again.

This drill can be measured in time or good repetitions.
