DESCRIPTION

Players work in pairs, this can be done with players facing each other without a net or with one player on each side of the net.

Player 1 sets the ball across to player 2 who catches the ball and then sets the ball back again.

COACHING POINTS

Fingers should be pointing up, with player's thumb and index fingers making a diamond shape.

Knees should be bent when catching the ball. When setting the ball back push up and stay tall on the balls of your feet.

Keep your elbows bent and push through the ball with fingers, keeping eyes on the ball at all times!

MORE VST:CATCH IN DIG POSITION DRILLS

3 Player Passing Drill

Working in 3's, one player throws the ball over the net for a player to underhand pass the ball to the target player at the net. The target player has a ball and as soon as the ball is thrown by the feeder he throws his ball so as to bounce once to the feeder and catches the ball being passed by the player. This drill can be measured in time or good repetitions. The reason for using two balls is you can do a vast amount of contacts in a short time; the feeding can be changed to a service when the feeder is a competent server as the emphasis is the passing.
