Columbus Drill
The Columbus drill is played 6v6 and begins with a coach entering the ball to one side. The pattern is as follows. The person receiving the ball will pass to the right front who will then set the ball to the left front. The left front will snap the ball in a controlled fashion to the other side. The other side will repeat the same sequence. Pass to right front, set to left front and then snap the ball over.
The goal is to pass the ball over the net 10 times consecutively. Here are a few rules:
The players passing to the right front must call out the name of the player, if not you go back to zero.
Each player on the team must say the “number” as the ball passes over the net, if not you go back to zero.
If a free ball is played it is considered a wash. It doesn’t count, but you do not have to go back to zero
Players will rotate each time you start over.
This drill is cooperative and requires concentration and communication.
