Purpose

To practice transitioning from passing to hitting

Setup

  • One player standing in the setter position
  • A coach and one blockers stand on opposite side of net
  • Remaining players line up in three hitting rows

How it works

  • The coach tosses the ball to one hitter who passes the ball to the setter and then gets into hitting position
  • The setter sets the ball to the player who passed and they hit while the blocker attempts to block
  • The blocker then shags the ball and goes to the end of the line while the hitter replaces the blocker

Notes

  • Alternately, allow the setter to set to any of the three hitters
  • Encourage the hitters to move quickly to get into position for their hit after the pass.
