Zig Zag Passing/Setting

A great volleyball passing and setting drill.

GREAT COMMUNICATION DRILL!
Have your players line up facing one another approximately 10-feet apart in kind of a “zig zag” formation as shown in the diagram. Players will pass the ball back and forth through the “zig zag” with player #1 passing to #2, #2 to #3 and so on. When the ball reaches player #12, she will reverse the direction and pass the ball BACK to player #11 and the ball will then travel back up the “zig zag”. Players must call out the name of the player they are passing TO before they pass the ball. This can be done using just passing or just setting or a combination of both. If your team becomes really controlled at this, add a second ball (I usually throw one in when the first ball is about 2/3 down the “zig zag”. This is a GREAT communication drill, especially with more than one ball.
