Hitting Lines

A volleyball hitting practice drill.

Hitters are in single file lines on the 10-foot line at each front row hitting position (on one side of the net) with a setter in the setting position at the net. (If you use a front-row setter, then have just two hitting lines). Coach tosses to setter, setter sets to hitter in one of the lines. Hitters hit, shag, hand and return to hitting line. If you have two or three setters, have them set a certain number and then switch or have them set for time & switch.

VARIATIONS:

1) Add BLOCKERS on the other side of the net if you have a lot of players on your court and you want to keep everyone active - have the blockers jump 10 times then switch with one of the hitters.

2) Divide your team into three groups: hitters, blockers, shaggers - have the hitting group hit 5x as many balls as the number of hitters in their group, i.e. a group of three hitters will hit 15 balls (or have each group hit for time, say 2 minutes); and then have hitters become blockers, blockers become shaggers and shaggers become hitters. Make sure to change setters.
