Volleyball Passing Drill: Pass and Move

This drill emphasizes passing while on the move, teaching players to stay balanced and square to the target. It reinforces proper footwork, reaction, and posture while passing from different court positions. By repeating lateral movement with passing, players build consistency and agility in serve receive situations.

This volleyball passing drill trains players to move laterally, square to the target, and pass under game-like movement pressure.

• Players: 1 active passer with a line of waiting passers, 2 tossers
• Court: Half court, focusing on right-back to mid-court movement
• Equipment: Volleyballs
• Roles: Tossers initiate balls, passers move and execute passes before rotating

• Start with a passer in the right-back base position.
• Tosser 1 tosses a ball to the passer.
• After passing, the passer sprints forward to touch the tosser’s foot, then retreats diagonally back into the next base position.
• As the passer retreats, Tosser 2 tosses the next ball for the passer to handle.
• After the second pass, the passer sprints behind Tosser 2, then shuffles laterally across in a ready position.
• The passer receives another toss from Tosser 1, then backpedals into the waiting line.
• Rotate the next passer into the drill.
• Suggested reps: Each passer completes 2–3 full cycles (6–9 passes total), about 1–2 minutes of work per round.

• Reverse Direction: Run the same sequence starting from the left side.
• Blocking Addition: Add practice blocks when crossing the net before passing.
• Speed Challenge: Increase the tempo of tosses to demand quicker movement.

• Square to Target: Passers must face the target before contacting the ball.
• Stay Low: Keep knees bent and weight forward while moving.
• Footwork: Emphasize shuffling and controlled retreating instead of lunging.
• Balance: Maintain body control during forward sprints and backpedals.
• Common Game Situation: Prepares players for serve receive and defensive rallies that require quick movement between positions.
