Volleyball: Receive The Ball Overhand

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

Cornel

DESCRIPTION

Players stand in a line in Zone 6, with the coach on the other side of the net serving the ball.

The player receiving the ball attempts to overhand pass the ball into Zone 3, where a ball cart or something that they can aim for should be placed.

COACHING POINTS

Receiving the ball overhand is much more effective and accurate than underhand passing.

PROGRESSION

You may ask players to receive overhand standing both-legged, one-legged, jumping etc. Coach's serving abilities must be perfect.

Set And Hands Clap:

Players work in pairs and stand across the court from each other. One player starts with the ball and overhand passes the ball high in the air and then claps their hands over the head and behind their back before the ball comes down.

Once the ball comes back down, the players sets it to their partner, who does the same thing.

Sideways Setting:

Players work in pairs and stand across the court from each other. One player starts with the ball and overhand passes the ball high in the air before changing position to stand sideways.

When the ball comes back down, the player sets the ball sideways to their teammate while standing sideways. The recipient then repeats this.

Overhand Pass and Quarter Turn:

Players work in pairs and stand across the court from each other. One player starts with the ball and overhand passes the ball high in the air.

While the ball is in the air, the player makes a quarter turn and sets again before turning again. The player keeps doing this until they have made a 360 turn, at which point they set to their teammate who does the same.
