The first player starts the game with a throw over the net.
The two players on the other side of the net communicate - with one moving towards the net and the other who volleys the ball. The player that has moved to the net faces their partner who passes the ball to them with a high pass from a volley position with the ball above their forehead.
The person at the net volleys the ball for their partner who is about 2 metres away from the net facing them with the hand up nearest the net pointing where they want the next high pass to be placed.
The player then passes the ball high to the area pointed at and that player moves in, and volleys the ball over the net.
Then both players return to a side by side playing position ready to play defence and start the drill again.
This sequence is repeated without trying to score points but in a more co-operative way so that the format of the game can be learned.
When both teams play this well you can make it competitive.
Volleyball demands explosive power, quick reactions, and endurance for long matches. Sport-specific conditioning prepares athletes for the unique physical demands of the game while reducing injury risk.
Volleyball is the ultimate team sport - no player can dominate alone. Effective communication before, during, and after every play prevents confusion and creates a cohesive, confident team.
Elite attackers don't just hit hard - they hit smart. Shot variety, reading the block, and making good decisions under pressure separate great hitters from one-dimensional power players.
