What 3 Things Does A Volleyball Passing Drill Help You Improve

A volleyball passing drill can help you work on reading the server, learn your passing responsibilities and how to cover the court faster.

Doing almost any volleyball passing drill will help you focus on how to hold your arms together for a good straight armed platform grip how to move your feet to beat or anticipate where the ball is going to land once it crosses the net so you're there before the ball hits the floor

The Volleyball Passing Drill For Beginners: Wall Drills To Become A Better Passer

Doing almost any volleyball passing drill will help you focus on

how to hold your arms together for a good straight armed platform grip
how to move your feet to beat or anticipate where the ball is going to land once it crosses the net so you're there before the ball hits the floor
learn what areas of the court you need to cover when you're in right back middle back or left back passing positions
read and react to what the opposing server is showing and doing when they contact the ball to serve a standing float, jump float or topspin serve

How can you get better at volleyball passing?

You can start building better passing skills by paying attention to the body positioning of the server on the opposing team.

When a player is ready to serve the ball, they will give you some indication of where they plan to serve.

If you are on the team that is receiving the serve, you should be checking the position of the opposing team's server's lower body, her feet and especially her hip position which will provide you some clues as to where the server will serve.

Volleyball Passing Drill For Players Who Need To Learn To Pass A Ball: Wall Drills

-Take two big steps away from the wall
-Pick a spot on the wall that's 2-3 feet above your head.
-Use a piece of tape or chalk or identify the brick that you are going to pass EVERY ball to.
-Start passing to that spot.
-Every time the ball doesn't get to that spot, stop and start again.

Do not finish until you've passed 25 balls to that spot. They don't have to be in a row at first. Just get 25 no matter how long it takes.

The Server vs. Passer
Volleyball Passing Drill

Once the whistle is blown and the server starts bouncing the ball and is ready to toss......

that's when you really need to focus on the ball. Like a dog chasing a ball your eyes need to stay on that ball with razor sharp focus and track it as it crosses the net, and enters your court.

Then you should move quickly to the spot where you think its going to land before the ball does.

This Volleyball Passing Drill Works on Controlling The Ball

Controlling the pass, also called "controlling the ball" or "ball control" is a big part of becoming a very good volleyball passer.

One way we teach passers to control the ball is to drop their hips lower than the level of the oncoming ball which helps you contact the ball to forearm pass it from a lower point.

With your hips lower than the oncoming served ball you can get under it and give it lift from a better angle with your legs.

A Volleyball Passing Drill With Passing And Setting Reps To Help Improve Ball Control And Accuracy

Whether you do drills at home by yourself, or doing them in practice with your teammates, it's best to get in the habit of setting mini goals for yourself to reach in order to complete each drill.

For example, let's say you have to get 50 perfectly passed balls to the target before stopping one drill and going on to the next.

Not only will you discipline yourself to perform the volleyball drills correctly, but you will replicate the pressure you will feel in a game-like situation when you absolutely have to do the skill right.

Serving slang is not just about individual techniques; it also relates to overall game strategy. A coach might instruct a player to serve a "short serve" or a "deep serve" to target specific areas of the opponent's court or exploit weaknesses in their serve receive formation.

Ari, my private training client and I are working specifically on serving on jump float cross court serves ...short to Zone 2

There's so much we work on to get to this point where she can contact the ball with

the same toss height and same toss location
the same armswing speed
the same timing for when her serving hand contacts the ball
the middle of the hand contacting the middle of the ball every single time
getting use to watching her serving hand contact the ball at the highest point of her jump ...before she starts to land
and finally contacting the ball in the precise spot on the ball so it goes where the coach wants the player to put it so in this case ..a short serve in the farthest short right corner on the court also called Zone 2.
