Volleyball Passing Warm-Up Drill: Passing Technique Path

This drill develops correct passing posture and footwork by training players to move in a low stance while maintaining proper platform direction. It reinforces balance, control, and body positioning before introducing live balls. By starting as a movement warm-up, it builds strong fundamentals for serve receive.

This volleyball passing warm-up teaches players to stay low, move with control, and direct their platform to the target while improving footwork.

• Players: Any number of players
• Court: Half or full court with cones arranged in a W pattern
• Equipment: Cones (volleyball optional for progression)
• Roles: Passers move through cones, coach monitors technique

1. Place cones in a W pattern across the court.
2. Players begin at the first cone and move from cone to cone in a low passing position.
3. At each cone, the player mimics a forearm pass to a target, focusing on keeping the platform angled correctly.
4. Continue along the W path until all cones are completed.
5. Repeat the pattern for a preset number of rounds (e.g., 3–5 full cycles per player). Each cycle should take about 1 minute.
6. Total drill duration: 5–7 minutes as part of warm-up.

• Coach Toss Progression: After the technique is established, the coach can toss a ball at each cone for players to pass to a target.
• Reverse Path: Run the W pattern in reverse to reinforce balance in both directions.
• Timed Challenge: Have players complete the W pattern within a set time while maintaining technique.

• Stay Low: Keep your knees bent, weight forward, and chest over your toes.
• Platform Control: Keep arms locked and angled toward the target at every cone.
• Movement: Shuffle or small, quick steps; avoid crossing feet.
• Target Awareness: Always face the intended passing target when mimicking passes.
• Progression: Ensure fundamentals are solid before introducing live balls.
