Volleyball Hitting Drill: Endurance Hitting

This high-energy drill trains players to sustain effort while executing key front-row and back-row skills. Hitters focus on attacking around the block, blockers improve reading and timing, and defenders work on controlled passing. Continuous rotations build endurance, conditioning, and mental focus under pressure.

This volleyball hitting drill develops endurance, attacking against a block, and defensive passing through fast-paced, continuous rotations.

• Players: Outside hitter, middle back, blocker, with additional players rotating in
• Court: Half court or full court with a rotation pattern in place
• Equipment: Volleyballs, net, 2 tossers or coaches at the net
• Roles: Tossers feed balls to hitters; players rotate through hitting, blocking, and defensive positions

1. Two tossers or coaches stand at the net and toss balls to outside hitters.
2. Hitters attempt to attack around the block to the middle back defender.
3. The middle back player works to deliver a controlled pass to the target area.
4. After the attack, players rotate quickly in the following pattern:
   Hitter → Blocker
   Blocker → Middle Back
   Middle Back → Hitter
5. Drill continues rapidly with tossers feeding the next ball immediately after each play.
6. Suggested reps: Run drill until each player completes 8–10 quality attacks or for 5–7 minutes per round to build endurance.

• Add Setters: Include setters on both sides to keep rallies alive.
• Increase Tempo: Toss balls more quickly to increase conditioning demands.
• Scoring System: Award points for kills, stuff blocks, or perfect passes to add competition.

• Hitters: Focus on “seeing the block” and adjusting attack angles accordingly.
• Blockers: Read the toss and hitter’s approach, adjusting position and timing.
• Defenders: Stay low, move feet quickly, and aim passes to the target area.
• Endurance: Encourage players to push through fatigue with proper form.
• Common Game Situation: Replicates extended rallies where hitters must attack under fatigue, blockers must read consistently, and defenders must stay reliable.

This is an excellent high-intensity drill for late-practice conditioning that reinforces offensive and defensive fundamentals under fatigue.
