DESCRIPTION

In fours have two players on one side, the other two on the other side of the net.

All of them make one team. Have the players on either side of the net face each other, with one player standing at the net, the other on the attack line.

Player 1 then passes the ball to player 2 (who is standing nearest to the baseline on the opposite side of the net) Player 2 then passes to player 3 (who is standing facing player 2 on his/her side of the net).

Player 3 then returns the ball back to player 2, who in turn passes back over the net to player 1.

At this point player 2 and 3 swap positions. Player 1 then passes to player 4 (who is standing facing player 1 on his/her side of the net).

Player 4 then returns the passes the ball back to player 1, who in turn passes back over the net to the player standing on the attack line.At this point player 1 and 4 swap positions

The team which is able to keep passing the ball over the net over 1,2 and 3 minutes scores 1 point.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Baseline dig, move and spike:

In pairs player 1 stand at the net on the opposite side of the court to player 2, who is standing close to the attack line facing the net.

Player 1 then passes the ball to the baseline on the opposite side of the net.

Player 2 runs back and digs the ball back to the net, where player 1 is now standing after moving underneath the net into the setting position after the initial pass.

Player 2 then runs from the baseline and spikes the ball. He/she then moves underneath the net to the opposite side of the court to begin the drill again.

Each pair has 10 attempts, the best ratio of 'well done/missed' wins.

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.
