Volleyball: Baseline To Zone

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

Phil

DESCRIPTION

Three players stand on one side of the court with a receiver on the other.

One setter stands near to the net while another is one the baseline, and a spiker is on the wing. The receiver passes the ball to a setter who sets the ball up to the other setter and runs back to the baseline. The other setter now passes to the player on the wing and runs back to the baseline, while the spiker now hits a winner over the net before returning to the baseline.

COACHING POINTS

Tell your players to pass and set high at the beginning so they have more time for returning but after 2-3 minutes they should start playing more flat to speed it all up.

Consecutive spikes require high-performance jumping abilities and endurance development. Running is what make athletes fit and may be combined with technical tasks as it is here in the drill.

Baseline dig, move and spike:

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.
