Hitting to Partner or Wall

A volleyball hitting drill.

Players need a partner and ball. Facing each other on the 10-ft. line and the endline, partners will take turns tossing (with 2 hands, underhand) a HIGH toss to self and hitting the ball (with hitting armswing) to the floor and to partner - partner shags and repeats. The armswing on these hits should be large and "sweeping" - power should be added as control is gained.

VARIATIONS:

1) Have one partner be the "hitter" (hitting as described above) and the other the "digger." Hitter will hit the ball to the digger who attempts to dig it. When doing hit/digs, have players take a certain number of swings OR have diggers get a certain number of digs before the partners switch tasks.

2) Using the hit/dig variation, have the hitting partner hit 5 straight away, 5 with the digger shuffling to the right and 5 with the digger shuffling to the left.

3) Give each player a ball and have them do the high toss and hit to the WALL - the ball should hit the floor approximately 10 feet from the wall, bounce into the wall and then back to the player.
