Volleyball Passing Drills
Learning Passing, Page 3
In the previous volleyball
passing drills you have learned
that volleyball player should always perform the pass in front of the
body – but as explained in
volleyball skills
very often it is simply not possible.
In the match the
player is repeatedly forced to pass
the ball on the side, not in front of the body.
To fully understand what we mean by passing the ball outside what is
considered “a perfect passing form”, follow this
volleyball
serve receive
link.
These volleyball passing drills follow the same
ideas than already presented
volleyball drills. We break down the skills to little
pieces and practice complicated skills little by
little.
The goal is progressively introduce the
new skills to
the player. Coach should not to dump new techniques to the players at
once which may result as repeating the exercise with bad techniques.
Volleyball Passing Drills – Goals: Wider
Passing Range and Better Ball ControlWhen
performing these passing drills on the net, the coach needs to add a
target by the net. Target returns the ball to the server/tosser to get
the drill flowing efficiently. It is recommended to use two balls in
one group to get more reps in the shorter period of time.
The goal of this volleyball passing drill is to work on the
left side of the body first, before progressing to the right side of
the body.
- The coach tosses the ball over the net, standing
fairly close to the
net and placing the ball clearly the left side of the player
- The ball should be clearly above waist level, high enough to
force
the player to repeat the following
- Player
should NOT get behind the ball in this drill, the goal
is to
learn the pass the ball when there is no time to get behind the ball,
the scenario which happens for the passers frequently
- Player will turn her body towards left sideline
- Take a step back with left foot to have a balanced and steady
feet
when performing the pass
- Player
turns the forearm passing platform towards the target
(setter)
and directs the ball to the target
- IMPORTANT!
Turning the platform towards the setter is the
most
difficult part and needs attention from the coach. Coach need to
encourage players that here it is ok not to move behind the ball, they
need to learn to control this fairly high ball from the left side.
- Players may repeat taking the step back with the left foot,
turning
the body and directing the platform towards setter WITHOUT the ball
first to get comfortable with it
- The
coach can work just one side at the time to help players
learning
the techniques correctly. After changing positions with the target,
next round coach can toss to the right side
When players progress tossers can start moving
closer to the backline and at some point start serving the ball instead
of throwing it. Coach can add difficulty to this drill by making
players still take shuffle steps to the left or right, but emphasizing
- it will be ok not to move all the way to the
“perfect
passing form”.

I
don’t understand - how this bad technique will benefit the players?First,
this is not a bad technique. This volleyball technique is
widely used among volleyball
players and is a sign of a good ball control and great volleyball
skills.
Some great volleyball players use
this
method to their advantage,
increased ball control and ability to pass ball around them allows them
not to move behind the ball every single time. It allows them to pass
the ball from the very wide range. There are some situations in which
this method is very beneficial to the player.
