Volleyball: Pass Short And Long

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

DESCRIPTION

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.

COACHING POINTS

This drill will prepare players' hands and wrists for overhand passing the ball and setting with ease. Players should perform intensive footwork and should always be able to face the direction of where they want to set to.

PROGRESSION

Have the player in the middle setting the ball backwards rather than to the player they received the ball from.

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.
