Volleyball: 2v2 Pattern Play

As someone who is new to coaching this site was just what I needed,...

DESCRIPTION

2 vs 2

The first player starts the game with a throw over the net. The two players on the other side of the net communicate and one catches the ball, the other moves to the net and faces their partner who passes the ball to them with a high pass from a volley position with the ball above their forehead.

The person at the net holds the ball in a volley position and keeps hold of the ball until their partner is about 2 metres away from the net, facing them with the hand up, nearest the net pointing where they want the next high pass to be placed. The players should then pass the ball high to the area pointed at and that player moves in, catches and plays the ball over the net.

Both players return to a side by side playing position ready to play defence.

COACHING POINTS

This sequence is repeated without trying to score points but in a more cooperative way so that the format of the game can be learned.

4 Player Passing Rotation:

Working in 4's with the final player throwing the ball back to the feeder under the net.

Once the drill starts the setter passes the ball to a target player at the net.

The net player then sets the ball for the wide player who receives it and then returns the ball ready for the drill to start again.

This drill can be measured in time or good repetitions.

3 Player Passing:

Working in 3's one player throws the ball over the net for a player to underhand pass the ball to the target player at the net, the target player has a ball and as soon as the ball is thrown by the feeder he throws his ball so as to bounce once to the feeder and catches the ball being passed by the player this drill can be measured in time or good repetitions. The reason for using two balls is you can do a vast amount of contacts in a short time; the feeding can be changed to a service when the feeder is a competent server as the emphasis is the passing.

SMVT:DIGGING

Digging:

Player starts by being fed the ball by a feeder and plays a defensive dig against ball hit by feeder at then runs, side-steps and plays defensive dig from another feeder.
