Work the Court

A volleyball warm-up drill.

Modify this as needed, according to your players’ abilities. The objective is to move around the entire court (quickly) and to incorporate some volleyball skills and some conditioning elements. Players start in right back (X’s), they sprint to 10-foot line (#1) and do an approach (#2), while at the net they do a blocking jump (#3) then transition to 10-ft. line in middle front and do an approach (#4) and another blocking jump (#5), transition to 10-ft. line in right front and do a 3rd approach (#6) and blocking jump (#7), then duck under the net and slide across the court facing the net (#8), turn and do three sprawls or rolls back to left back corner (#9) and then sprint along endline (#10)* to right back corner.
