In this perimeter-based drill, 3 players in defensive position form a triangle.
The coach tosses a ball, and the closest player passes it back
- If the front right player handles the ball, all three players rotate one position clockwise.
- If the left front player handles the ball, the players rotate in a counterclockwise direction.
- If the back player handles the ball, she must switch positions with one of the front players.
Variations:
The coach may progress from tossing to hitting the ball.
Requirements:
3 players, 1 ball feeder, 1 cart of balls, a half court and a coach.
New hitters rarely miss because of their arm. They miss because of their feet. Build a reliable approach, then time it with your setter.
When your hitter gets stuffed, five teammates standing and watching is how you lose the point. Good attack coverage turns a blocked ball into a second swing.
Coaches spend hours correcting arms in serve receive when the real fault is almost always the feet. Fix the movement and the platform fixes itself.
