Volleyball Setting and Overhead Passing Warm-Up Dril

VOLLEYBALL SETTING DRILL, OVERHEAD PASSING DRILL, VOLLEYBALL WARM-UP, SETTING AND PASSING

• Players: Two teams of 6 players.
• Court: Full court with a net.
• Equipment: Supply of volleyballs with the coach positioned at the net to initiate play.
• Roles: All players are passers/setters; the coach serves as the initiator.

1. The coach begins each rally by tossing a ball into play, alternating sides.
2. Players may only use the overhead pass (set) to keep the ball in play.
3. After completing an overhead pass, the player must sprint to the end line and return before rejoining the play.
4. Teams score using rally scoring, playing to 10 points.
5. Players can return the ball on the first, second, or third contact.

• Require teams to return the ball only on the third contact to encourage better ball movement and communication.
• Reduce team size to 4 players per side for more touches and conditioning.
• Add a time limit sprint (e.g., reach the end line and back in 5 seconds) to increase intensity.

• Movement: Emphasize quick footwork to get behind the ball before setting.
• Positioning: Feet shoulder-width apart, one slightly forward, knees bent, balanced on the balls of the feet.
• Hand Shape: Hands up early, fingers spread firm, elbows bent at 45–90 degrees.
• Technique: Contact the ball at the forehead, using full-body extension (legs and arms) to guide the ball.
• Control: Use all fingers—ring and pinkie stabilize while thumbs and index provide direction.
• Follow Through: Extend hands toward the target after release.
• Communication: Encourage constant calling for the ball and teamwork to find open space.
