Here’s a 90-minute volleyball practice plan focused on serving for an intermediate level team:

  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. Serving Technique (30 minutes): Start with a brief review of serving technique, including hand placement, footwork, and follow-through. Then, introduce drills that focus on improving serving technique, such as target serving or serving to different zones on the court.
  3. Serving Accuracy (30 minutes): Introduce drills that focus on serving accuracy, such as serving to specific zones on the court or trying to hit a specific target. Use cones or targets to help the players aim for a specific area of the court.
  4. Serving Under Pressure (15 minutes): Set up a scrimmage where the players can practice serving under pressure. Encourage the players to communicate with each other and apply the serving skills they’ve learned during the drills.
  5. Cool-Down and Team Meeting (5 minutes): Finish the practice with some static stretching exercises to help the players cool down and prevent injury. Then, hold a team meeting to discuss what was covered during the practice and any areas that need improvement. Encourage the players to communicate with each other and provide feedback to help the team improve.

Throughout the practice, provide feedback and encouragement to the players. Emphasize the importance of consistent serving and communicate how serving can impact the game. Encourage the players to communicate with each other and work as a team to improve their serving skills. Consistent practice and feedback will help the players develop their serving skills and become more confident on the court.
