Up & Back, Side-to-Side

A volleyball ballhadling practice drill.

Players should partner up. One is the “control” player (C) and the other is the “active” player (P). The control player (C) tosses or passes a short ball to area “1” and P runs up and passes the ball back to C, C then tosses/passes a “long” ball back to area “2” where P has shuffled back to, she then passes the ball back to C. P continues up & back for 10 contacts, then P and C switch roles. The next time thru, C will toss/pass the ball to areas “3” and “4” so that P has to shuffle side-to-side and play the ball back to C. Again, after 10 contacts, players switch roles. Repeat the entire drill using sets in place of passes. For players with decent control, have the control player (C) pass or set the ball rather than tossing.
