Coach’s Hit

A volleyball defense practice drill.

Set your team up in their base defensive alignment, indicated by solid circles (diagram shows alignment for “middle-back” defense). Coach (standing on a box or elevated platform) slaps the ball so that players can move from base to true defensive positions, indicated by “dotted” circles. Coach then hits/tips ball so that players can play out from defense. You can also have a player (T) occasionally yell, “free” and toss a ball over instead so that your defense transitions to their freeball positions. Have players play the ball all the way out. Hit five from each front row position (right front, middle front, left front) then have the defense rotate and repeat the drill.
