Volleyball: Set And Hands Clap

Very useful format and descriptions of drills. I am using Sportplan...

Tony

DESCRIPTION

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.

COACHING POINTS

By clapping, players have shorter time to prepare for the next pass, just like they will at times in a match. This way they improve their reaction times.

PROGRESSION

You may ask players to clap more times or even turn around while clapping if the drill becomes too easy.

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.

Two players stand on each side of the court, with two balls between the four players. These two balls should be with players on the same side. The two players with balls set to the players opposite them, and switch places with the other player who set the ball. The players opposite meanwhile, set the ball back but stay where they are.

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.
