Volleyball: Zone 5

Give your players the knowledge and understanding of the roles and skills required for each of the zones of the volleyball court.

Player 1, standing at the net, performs a block movement, and returns back to zone 1 behind the attack line.

Player 2 (standing close to the net in zone 4) then hits the ball to player one to mimic an opponents spike.

Player 1 then digs up the ball to player 3 (who is standing close to the net in the centre of the court), who then sets up player 1 to finish with a right side attack.

The drill is then repeated.

1. Player 1 starts by serving from the base line and then enters the court.
   
   
2. He/she then runs into the correct zone (zone 1), where player 2 (standing in zone 4) hits the ball to him/her around waist high. Player 1 then has to dig up the ball, and return it to player 2 as if setting up a spike.
   
   
3. Player 1 then returns to their zone, where player 3 (from zone 2) hits the ball to them short in the middle of court. Player 1 then has to dig up the ball back to player 3.
   
   
4. Player 1 then returns back to their zone and steps two to three are repeated.

Player 1 (setter) in Zone 3 jumps to imitate a block at the net, lands and turns to face the back of the court.

Player 2 then feeds a high ball (a) to player 1. Player one will then set the ball up close to the net on the left hand side of the court (b) so player 3 (running in from zone 5) can finish with a left side attack.

Players 1 and 2 then repeat steps 2 and 3. This time player 1 sets up the ball close to the net on the right hand side of the court (c) so player 4 (running in from zone 1) can finish with a right side attack.

Repeat steps one and two, but this time player 2 should set the ball up (d) so player 1 can attempt a ball tipping.

The ball is served to player 1, who is standing in zone 6. Player 1 then digs up the ball (a) to player 2 (standing close to the net in zone 2). Player 3 then throws the ball (b) from zone 4 to player 1 who has to either bump or set the ball (c) depending on the way the ball is fed to them. Player 2 then feeds the ball (d) to player 1, who again either has to bump or set the ball (e). After a set number of repetitions of the previous steps, player 1 must set the ball (f) from Zone 6 to Zone 4 for a spike (g).
