Volleyball: Speedy Side Steps - Pairs Race

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

DESCRIPTION

Players stand on the sidelines with a ball on the floor ahead.

On the coaches signal, they pick it up and attempt to run sideways to the other side of the court faster than their partner.

Players then place the ball on the floor and sidestep back to their side to start again.

COACHING POINTS

If you want to work players really hard get them to race there (with the ball in hand) and back (without the ball).

For a variation on this exercise you can get players to work in small teams - racing each other in a relay race.
