This warm-up will focus on ball control of a ball coming over the net. This volleyball drill will focus on digging, setting, and returning a controlled ball to their partner on the other side of the net.

Setup

1. Split into groups of 2 with a ball each.
2. One player on each side of the net.

Instructions

2. Player two must dig the ball to themselves, set the ball to themselves, then return a ball on a downward flight to the other player.
