Description
This volleyball drill will practice hitting against the block and transitioning off the net.
Setup
1. 3 blockers on one side of net
2. 3 hitters, a setter, and two passers on one side
Instructions
1. Have a coach standing on a chair in each of the three hitting positions. Take turns hitting down balls or tips. Work on defensive positioning.
2. Passer passes to setter who sets any hitter running any team plays or sets
3. Blocking side attempts to block, focusing on attempting to double block every attack. (Coaches need to move their chairs back to get out of the way of the blockers.
4. Hitting side gets 1 point for every hard driven attack they can get past the block
5. Blocking side gets 1 point for every significant touch at the net
6. Have the lines switch places to give the other players a chance to pass the free balls and attack
7. Play to a set number of points!
Coaching Points
1. Watching for significant touches at the net, not just barely touching the volleyball
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.
