Objective:
To strengthen movement and passing
Directions:
Divide team into groups of three or four players depending on size of team
Each T has a ball. P1 stands in middle between
tossers
and moves back and forth opposite the T.
As the P moves to one side, the
tosser
tosses ball straight ahead.
Passer moves to put body behind ball, passes
ball
back to T
As soon as P passes first ball, the other T tosses ball straight ahead.
Passer then shuffles to a point opposite other T and passes ball back to T.
P shuffles back and forth passing balls.
T attempt to catch ball in OH passing position.
Repeat
6x and rotate P2 to P1 (if four player groups, P>T1>T2 if 3 player groups) After each P has passed designated # of balls, switch T and P (4 player groups).
Variations Basic: Passer catches the ball with arms locked and tosses back to T.
More difficult: P passes ball back to OTHER T. Passer catches ball with arms locked and tosses to Setter

Objectives:
Provide game like reps for Passing and setting.
Directions: Divide team into groups of 3 or 4 playersAlternate T so that T2 is not on same side of net as T1 and T3.Tosser tosses ball underhand over net to passer, who overhead passes or forearm passes to setter, who catches ball in OH pass position while square to N1 (X). Setter bounce passes ball back to Tosser. handler. To Rotate: P goes to S, S goes to T after specified # of passes or after every pass, or after unsuccessful pass. Keys:
touch base, first step to ball, body behind ball, face ball, still platform, tilt platform to tgtScoring: Score pt for every successful pass. Play game to specified # of pts
Variations:Can vary height of toss to generate overhead passes or forearm passes. T hits down ball or serves to P.IF passing scores are good, add a hitter who catches ball and bounces ball to T.
If control a problem use only 2 tossers on same sideUse only 2
Tossers
and add a 2

P/H1 bowls/serves ball over
net to P/H2, who overhead passes or forearm passes to S2, who sets back to P/H2 at 10’ line. P/H2 hits ball to P/H1, who passes to S1.S1 sets ball to P/H1 at 10’ lineP/H1 hits ball to P/H2 Rotation: After 4 balls, Switch P and S. SPECIAL NOTE: Hitter should hit down balls or push ball over net with OH pass or FA pass. Be sure set is to 10’ line to facilitate down ball. This is a cooperative exercise so players want to control ball over net.
.Variations:Basic: Have P catch the ball and toss to S who catches ball in OH passing position, and then sets P who catches ball in OH passing position and OH passes ball over net to other P.
More advanced: Initiate With serve rather than bowling the ballScoring: Count number of successful touches. Group with most consecutive touches wins.

Pass and Chase Triangles
Objectives:
Practice changing direction of ball with many reps in short period.
Directions
: Divide players into groups of 4 position players 8-10’ apart in triangle with 4
th player behind 1st player(D behind A)A assumes good setting or ready position facing B and checks self. When position correct, A passes to B using a strong high pass with good follow through, and then moves to B. B squares up to C before the ball arrives and catches the ball in a good setting position. B checks position, makes corrections then passes ball high to C. C catches, checks and passes to D, who has stepped into A position. Repeat. When they progress to passing, have players keep track of # of consecutive passes without error. To Rotate: No rotation beyond movement around triangle.KEYS: OH Pass: Players square to tgt before ball arrivesPlayers check and correct before passingGood follow-through and high (20’) passes.FA Pass: P square to ball, minimize platform movement. Tilt platform to tgt.
KEEP BALL LOW BELOW HEAD HEIGHTScoring: continue until a group lets ball bounce. They suffer consequences while other groups continue, until last group lets ball hit floor
Variations: Use for OH or FA passAlternate type of pass
Eliminate movement and use 3 players per triangle

Objective:
To strengthen movement and passing
Directions:

tossers
and passers simultaneously to increase frequency of touches.
Passers touch hands at middle of court and shuffle to outside,
maintaing
good medium position.
Tosser
tosses ball to outside edge of court.
Passers
get body behind ball, pass
ball to setter, dropping inside shoulder to ensure platform is to target.
Setter catches ball in setting position squared to X (or hitter if hitter added) and puts ball in cart. Passers go back and touch hands
Repeat 5x and rotate, P to S, S to
Shagger
(
Sh
), Sh to Passing line.Variations More basic: Passer lets ball go between legs and a
shagger
behind passer retrieves ball and bounces to setter.
More difficult: Increase distance fro passer and force passers to run through the ball
Passer catches ball with arms locked and tosses to Setter
Setter catches ball in FA pass or OH pass position
Have players move to opposite line after shagging so they get experience passing from both sides of court
Multi-skill: Add hitter and setter sets to hitter.
Coach initiated or player initiated.
If a large team add a ball handler to take ball from cart and hand to

B squares up to C before the ball arrives and catches the ball in a good setting position. B checks position, makes corrections then passes ball high to C. C catches, checks and passes to A. Repeat. Once players are doing well you can have them stop catching the ball and just position and pass in rotation. When they progress to passing, have players keep track of # of consecutive passes without error.

Advantages:
Provides more players passing opportunities
Requires least movement.
Promotes communication
Disadvantages:
Players must communicate effectively by calling the ball to avoid collisions
A weak passer can be exploited by the server
Notes:
MF and LF should stand as close to a direct line between server and corner of the court as can be allowed without being out of rotation with the back row passers. Areas outside dotted lines are low percentage serves so players should not orient on them.
If ball goes deep, front row players should all turn and look for a pass.
All players should be in ready position squared to server.
MF/LF cover front 10’ of court, or balls they can reach if back row does not call ball..
Back row players start 3’-4’ in from service line and creep forward when server begins toss.
Back row must call ball early to wave front row passer off.
If ball is served between players, the player who is moving toward the setter should take the ball.
