Flamingo Hitting Warm-Up

A volleyball hitting drill.

Coach tosses “sets” to hitters in a hitting line. Place two or three hitting lines w/coaches on one side of the net (coach doesn't need to toss from the actual "setting zone"). Players should start IN FRONT of the 10-foot line for this warm-up. Have player start in a "flamingo" stance (standing on one foot with the other foot off the ground and arms back - as if ready to do a 1-footed broadjump). Coach tosses ball about five feet higher than the net so that the hitter can "flamingo" jump and hit. As players get the "hang" of the "flamingo" have them move back to the 10-foot line and use their full (3 or 4-step) approach - coaches will have to toss a higher "set" for these.
