Volleyball: Rolling Ball

Place your finger in the middle of the back of your partner and try and keep it there. The partner then walks around changing direction, stopping, starting and side-stepping etc.

Coach feeds the ball for the player to practice the correct footwork for an attack approach to jump and catch.

Partners stand facing each other about arms distance apart, one of the partners is the tagger who tries to touch the partner on the knee the other has to avoid being tagged whilst remaining close.

In pairs 3-4 metres apart, roll the ball to your partner so as to make them move to either side, before they let the ball roll through their legs and sit on the ball.

Both players stand with their arms straight and hands on the shoulders of their playing partner. The aim of the game is to lightly touch the top of your partner's foot with your foot.
