Volleyball: Baseline dig, move and spike

I can't get enough of Sportplan. It's given me back the enthusiasm...

DESCRIPTION

In pairs player 1 stand at the net on the opposite side of the court to player 2, who is standing close to the attack line facing the net.

Player 1 then passes the ball to the baseline on the opposite side of the net.

Player 2 runs back and digs the ball back to the net, where player 1 is now standing after moving underneath the net into the setting position after the initial pass.

Player 2 then runs from the baseline and spikes the ball. He/she then moves underneath the net to the opposite side of the court to begin the drill again.

Each pair has 10 attempts, the best ratio of 'well done/missed' wins.

COACHING POINTS

Every second attempt players should change their roles so they practise their spiking and setting, and the better spiker is not spiking all the time.
