Run and Play the ball

A volleyball warm-up drill.

Players need to get a partner and a ball and line up on the volleyball endline (one side of the net only). One of the partners will be the “control player” (C) and the other will be the “active player” (X). X begins at the endline and runs (or sprints, depending on how difficult you want this to be) under the net to the opposite endline and then returns to a point approximately 10 feet from the starting endline (shown by the dotted line), player C (standing a few feet behind the endline) then tosses a ball to X who passes it back to C and then runs again to the endline and back for another pass. X should get a total of 5 tosses in a row from C and then players switch roles. Repeat this again using overhand passes. For more experienced players, you can even have them do it a 3rd time with the control player hitting/tipping a ball at X so that she has to dig it back. A great way to get them running without it seeming like their running!
