DESCRIPTION

Each player has a ball and should stand inside a 2m-diameter circle drawn with chalk.

The player throws the ball high above his/her head - it should be overhand passed up so it bounces inside the circle.

The player should allow the ball to bounce, get into position to use the overhand pass again to push the ball back into the air.

Alternate passing and bouncing.

COACHING POINTS

Tell players the higher they pass up the more time and space they have to prepare for next pass.

PROGRESSION

Continuous passing in a circle.

Developing Correct Technique For Overhand Passing And Setting

Develop your players' ability to set accurately and the correct technique for making the overhand pass.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Setting-like bouncing:

Each player has a ball no matter what position they normally play on the court. Each player starts with the ball on the floor.

The first step is for the player to put his/her fingers on the ball like during overhand passing - that is fingers extended and wrists flexed towards forearms.

The second step is to pick the ball up and start bouncing it with no change to the way their hands are positioned.

1 Techniques

Overhand throw-catch:

Each player has a ball. The player starts with the ball above their shoulders in front of their face in the overhand passing position.

The task is to throw the ball up with both hands from the forehead position, just like they would during passing and catching it back in a game.

4 Passing Drills

Throw and set:

In pairs, the players stand facing each other with one ball.

Player 1 throws the ball using an underhand pass, over player 2's head who then sets it back.

4 Passing Drills

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.
