Here’s a 60-minute volleyball practice plan for beginners focused on passing:

  1. Warm-Up (10 minutes): Start with a light jog around the court to get the blood flowing. Then, do some dynamic stretching exercises to prepare the muscles for activity. These can include lunges, leg swings, arm circles, and high knees.
  2. Passing Technique (15 minutes): Teach the proper passing technique to the players, focusing on body position, footwork, and arm swing. Break the technique down into simple steps and have the players practice them individually before putting them together.
  3. Passing Drills (20 minutes): Have the players practice passing the ball to each other, focusing on accuracy and consistency. You can use cones or targets to help them aim for a specific area of the court. Also, introduce different types of passes, such as forearm passes or overhead passes, and have the players practice them.
  4. Passing Games (10 minutes): Finish the practice with a passing game. This can be as simple as dividing the players into teams and seeing which team can pass the ball to each other the most times in a row. Or you can have the players pass to specific targets on the other side of the court. Keep it fun and engaging.
  5. Cool-Down (5 minutes): Finish the practice with some static stretching exercises to help the players cool down and prevent injury.

Here are suggestions for beginner-level passing drills and games.

Remember to provide feedback and encouragement to the players throughout the practice. Consistent practice and feedback will help the players develop their passing skills and become more confident on the court.
