Hitting Lines vs Defense

A combination volleyball practice drill.

Place six players in defensive formation (X’s) on one side of the court (this diagram shows a “middle back” defense). The remaining players and a setter (S) should line up in hitting lines (H’s) on the other side. Coach (C) tosses the ball to the setter on the hitting side, setter sets to one of the hitters in a hitting line (her choice, random selection). The defensive side plays defense against the hit and tries to play the ball all the way out, back over the net (this may be pass/set/hit or just pass/pass/pass). Rotate the defensive players every five tosses to the setter. Toss 25 balls for the setter to set the hitters and then switch the hitting team and the defending team. You can also do this with all the hitters hitting just from one position to focus on defending that particular player.
