Volleyball: Digging - up and over continuous rally

Sportplan is fantastic with all the various drills for every area...

Julie

DESCRIPTION

Players stand in two lines on either side of the net.

The first player throws the ball up in the air to themselves and digs the ball over the net to the player on the other side.

Following the ball at all times the other player must position themselves in such a way that they are able to first-time dig the ball over the other side of the net.

After players have made their pass they should then run to the left, under the net, to rejoin the back of the queue on the other side.

Defensive Drill:

3 players stand in a line just off court. Two feeders at the net set the rhythm for the defenders to move using appropriate footwork and then play defence. The defender then moves back off the court and goes the other way and this repeats for either a set time or number of good contacts.

Dig and Move:

Player starts in front of one feeder and plays defence against ball hit by feeder then runs, side-steps and plays defence at the next feeder. This continues with 3-4 players for set time or number of quality contacts.
