Hold the ball in the palm of your hand and stand in a good ready position.
Using your bodyweight and movement side-step taking the ball with you, letting it bounce, catching the ball with the other hand and changing direction (don't throw the ball, use the whole body movement to move the ball side-side).
Progression:
You can instruct your players to move the ball faster or get them to keep their knees bent so that they are moving from a low position - this will make the drill a lot harder and more tiring for your players.
Volleyball demands explosive power, quick reactions, and endurance for long matches. Sport-specific conditioning prepares athletes for the unique physical demands of the game while reducing injury risk.
Volleyball is the ultimate team sport - no player can dominate alone. Effective communication before, during, and after every play prevents confusion and creates a cohesive, confident team.
