Volleyball: Jump Over The Ball

As someone who is new to coaching this site was just what I needed,...

Phil

DESCRIPTION

Players start on one side of the court and have a ball in their hands, and another in the middle of the court.

They overhand pass the ball in their hands forward so that it drops on the other side of the laying ball.

The players then run, jump over the ball and underhand pass the ball back to a teammate who will be waiting at the starting position. The next player will then do the drill.

COACHING POINTS

Have players pass the ball high so that they have time to run and set up position.

This drill helps teach players to control ball trajectory and watch the court simultaneously.
