Circle Pit Drill

A volleyball defense drill.

All players form a circle on one side of the court. Each player on the perimeter of the circle has a ball. One player is the digger, in the center of the circle (make the circle large enough that the digger is 10 feet from the players on the perimeter). Each player with a ball will hit the ball to the digger who will attempt to dig the ball back to that player. After each hit, the digger turns slightly to face the next player on the perimeter who will be the next one to hit the ball. This continues until the digger has taken a hit from each player around the circle. You may want to have them go around twice before the next player takes a turn in the middle. NOTE: coach your players to hit the ball TO the player in the middle, not to see how hard they can hit it. It should be a fairly hard, but controlled hit.
