Volleyball: Set and Switch

The first player starts the game with a throw over the net.

The two players on the other side of the net communicate - with one moving towards the net and the other who volleys the ball while their partner moves to meet the ball.

The player that has moved to the net faces their partner to receive and return the pass.

The player who first passed the ball moves towards the net and points to where they want the next high pass to be placed.

The player then volleys the ball over the net.

After this both players should return to a side by side playing position ready to play defence and start the drill again.

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.

Start the game by volleying the ball over the net to the player at the back of court they overhand pass the ball to the player at the net who sets the ball up for the player to move forward and play the ball over the net with a volley, this then is repeated for a set number, length of time or can be made competitive.

In pairs half a metre from the net players volley the ball cooperatively over the net moving side-ways until they reach the end of the net.

Players then move back to the 3 metre line and volley the ball high to each other moving the opposite way until they reach the other end of the net where they move back close to the net and repeat.
