Purpose

This helps novice players develop ball control in passing

Setup

  • Organize players in three receiving lines. A coach stands near the net in the setter’s location with a basket of balls.

How it works

  1. Coach tosses a ball to the first player in one of the lines who passes the ball back to the coach.
  2. If the passer doesn’t return the ball so the coach can catch it, they shag their ball and place it back in the basket.
  3. The passing player then rotates to the back of the next line.

Coaching Tips

  • Encourage players to aim for the setter’s location.
  • Emphasize moving so they get behind the ball and can point their arms toward the setter.
