Simple Volleyball Drills for Beginning Players

In previous pages you found out about volleyball drills for beginning players by setting.

On this page you will learn how you can improve ball control and hand-eye coordination by some forearm passing drills. We call these following drills “juggling drills”.

Players can perform those in the beginning of practices as warm ups or at home when getting an urge to improve the skills when there is no gym time available.


Volleyball Drills for Beginning Players - Examples

Example 1

You start standing up and performing forearm passes to yourself. Start bending your knees and lower yourself to sitting position (while bumping the ball). When you are in the sitting position you are halfway. Next you need to raise yourself up again while passing the ball.  Repeat the cycle.


Example 2

Player performs
  • Forearm passes to her/himself by trying to stay on the same position
  • Player can add degree of difficulty by
    • Performing one-hand pass by bumping the ball with right hand/left hand
    • Turning around 180/360/540 degrees between the passes
    • Touching the ground between each pass

Example 3

Player performs
  • Forearm pass
  • Forearm pass with right hand only
  • Forearm pass
  • Forearm pass with left hand only
  • Forearm pass
  • Keep repeating the cycle

Example 4

Player goes on the net, standing sideways to the net
  • And bumps the ball above the net to another side
  • Moves under the net, under the ball and hits the ball back over the net back to other side
  • Moves under the net to hit the ball back once again
  • Player keeps repeating the cycle

Example 5

Player goes next to the wall, standing around 6-10 feet away from the wall. Bump the ball into the wall.  Bump the bouncing ball straight up. Bump the ball back to the wall. Repeat the cycle.

Same, but player focuses on passing the ball from the left or right side of the body, instead of keeping the ball in front the body.  It is essential for players to learn to pass the ball from the sides also.


Example 6


Player goes next to the wall, standing 5-8 feet (couple of meters) away from the wall. Pass extremely low ball, about height of the knee, to the wall and keep repeating that extremely low pass. Play with the ball; keep repeating passes by changing the position of the ball – to the right or left side of your body.  Learn to pass all around your body.


Example 7


Practice bump setting by setting extremely high ball towards sealing trying to stay in the same position. Test how high up you can go. 

This volleyball passing drill is an excellent way to learn to keep your eyes the ball when hitting it and learning the correct placement of the ball when passing it. 

If you mishit the ball even a little, you’ll be chasing the ball – try to stay in the same position.  This drill is an excellent way to teach players to bump set the ball – after doing the drill bump setting feels very easy. This drills is difficult enough even for the top level volleyball players.
