Volleyball: Pass, Jump And Set

I can't get enough of Sportplan. It's given me back the enthusiasm...

DESCRIPTION

Players work in pairs with a ball between them, starting in a squat position. They pass the ball high, jump, and set it to their teammate who repeats this.

COACHING POINTS

Jumping works the leg muscles and this drill helps players learn to jump at the right moment to reach the ball at the highest spot.

PROGRESSION

For professionals, when they jump they could spin in the air so they would set the ball backwards.

Create better setters that can pass the ball effectively and accurately wherever they receive the ball on the court.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Pass And Cross Centre Line:

Two players stand on attack lines at either side of the net, while a third player stands between them at the net.

One of the players at the attack line passes the ball and then receives it back from the player in the middle, who now crosses the centre line, ducking under the net, before doing the same with the other player.

2 Warm Up

Pass Short And Long:

Players work in threes with one player in the middle.

A player from the outside sets to the middle player before receiving the ball back. The middle player now turns 180 degrees and the player with the ball passes to the players at the other side of the court.

Players on the outside set the ball once to the middle and then to the other side.

Ball Slalom:

Place a few balls on the baseline and spread them out. Players move in and out between the balls, moving as if they were in defence. Make sure players avoid contact with the balls.
