10-foot-line Sets

A volleyball warm-up drill.

Split your team into two teams, one on each side of the net ALL players are between the 10-foot-line and the net. The boundaries for this game are the usual sidelines, but the 10-foot-line is now the endline. Players can pass or overhand the 1st ball; pass or set the 2nd ball; and set or tip the 3rd ball over the net to the opposing team. Start play by just tossing a ball in to one team. Here's the conditioning part: after a player contacts the ball she/he runs and touches the wall at the back of her court and then comes back into the court to continue play - so EACH time someone contacts a ball, she/he should then be running.

You can play this a couple of ways: 1) just for time, say 5 or 7 minutes; or 2) you can keep score and play to "5" - it is rally scoring so if someone sets/tips the ball out of bounds or into the net, the other team gets a point. If you play games to "5", you'll want to play a few games in order to get enough of a sweat going.

A TWIST: you can make this game ALL sets or ALL passes if you want to emphasize a skill, or you can make the 3rd hit ONLY a tip or ONLY a rollshot - be creative!
