Purpose

This drill teaches players to stay focused and pass while dealing with distractions

Setup

Have two or three servers on the other side of the net and a target player in the setter location.

Have two passers splitting the court down the middle vertically. Assign one passer will have a harasser.

How it works

  1. One at a time, the servers serve a ball and the passers execute a pass.
  2. Each harasser can yell, scream, stomp, and feint toward the ball (but never touch the passer or the ball). They are trying to break the concentration of the passer.

Coaching Tips

  • Remind the harassers that their goal is to help the passers improve. While they should try to distract them, it should all be done with a good spirit.
