At the Net

A volleyball combination drill. GREAT DRILL TO END PRACTICE WITH!

Have all your players spread out along the net facing the net. When you slap the ball, the players all back off the net and into random locations on the court. You toss (or serve) the ball over and they play it out according to the instructions below. The constant rule is that once a player plays the ball, then she has to move off the court and is finished with her part in the drill.

The object is for all players to play the ball according to the instructions. We usually use the following progression: 1st time - all players must pass the ball and the last player must pass it over the net. 2nd time - 1st player passes, all other players set, last player downballs over net. 3rd time - 1st player passes, 2nd player sets, 3rd player passes, 4th player sets, and so on with the last player downballing over net. If your team is pretty sharp, you may want to really mix it up and do some combination like: 1st two players pass; 2nd two players pass to self then set to a teammate; 3rd two players set to self then pass to teammate; 4th two players set; last player hits over net (whatever the instructions are on this one you’ll have to make sure that the number coincides with the number of players you have).

In this drill, the players will find that it really helps if they “talk” and shout out what the next skill should be.
