30-Second Ballhandling

A volleyball ball handling drill. ALSO A GREAT WARM-UP DRILL!

Each player needs a partner and a ball. One partner is with her back to the net, facing the other partner who is on the same side of the net just inside the 10-foot line (approx. 5 ft apart). On coach's cue, partners will begin forearm passing back and forth from a low position so that the ball is moving straight across between them, just three feet above the floor. Time for 30 seconds. Repeat the drill and have each pair them COUNT their total number of passes (ask each for a count). In the same positions, have the players stand more upright and repeat drill using OVERHAND PASSING. Go 2x 30 seconds, counting the 2nd time through. Have players repeat the preceding sequence one or two more times, each time moving further away from each other - we go 5 ft, 10 ft and 20 ft) - forearm 2x, overhand 2x; counting on each 2nd set.
