Side Shifting:

Hold the ball in the palm of your hand and stand in a good ready position.

Using your bodyweight and movement side-step taking the ball with you, letting it bounce, catching the ball with the other hand and changing direction (don't throw the ball, use the whole body movement to move the ball side-side).

2 Warm Up

Run and Strike:

Rhythm hitting; a number of players take it in turns to make an approach to hit a ball fed by the coach and hit.

After they have hit the ball they run around an object near the baseline of the court and then repeat.

SMVT:SPIKING

Finger Follow Drill:

Place your finger in the middle of the back of your partner and try and keep it there.

The partner then walks around changing direction, stopping, starting and side-stepping etc.
