Volleyball: 6 metre passing

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

Cornel

DESCRIPTION

In pairs the players face each other, around 6metres apart.

Player 1 throws the ball to their partner accurately so the receiver does not have to move to reach the ball.

Player 2 then underhand passes the ball back to their partner accurately.

COACHING POINTS

Players must be able to pass the ball where they want and this drill will help develop passing accuracy.

PROGRESSION

As players become better and more accurate get them to rally underhand, making surer they no longer catch and throw the ball.

Controlled underhand pass and receive:

In pairs, get the players to face each other.

Player 1 underarm throws the ball high to his/her partner so they have to receive the ball using the dig method, and then they catch it.

The player who received the ball then passes the ball back to the partner who receives the ball using the dig method, and then catches it.

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.
