For set: Eyes up looking at ball trajectory, with knees bent, and standing on the balls of your feet. Bending the elbows and pushing through the ball with fingers at point of contact.

Catch and Volley over the net | VST:CATCH IN DIG POSITION

Catch and Volley over the net:

Players work in pairs, this can be done with players facing each other without a net or with one player on each side of the net.

Player 1 sets the ball across to player 2 who catches the ball and then sets the ball back again.

VST:CATCH IN DIG POSITION

Grassroot serving | 7 Serve Drills

Grassroot serving:

2 players, 1 ball. The player serving has to hit the ball over the net so that the other player can catch the ball.

If they are successful 3 times in a row the player can take a step back and move closer to the back line.

Once players reach the back line they can swap roles.

7 Serve Drills

Self Pass - Dig and Volley rally:

To start the exercise, one player volleys the ball to their partner who digs the ball up to themselves then volleys the ball back.

The other player then repeats this pattern.
