Purpose
This activity helps players learn to move to pass and to more strategically place free balls.
Setup
- Position 2 players on each side of the net. Additional players should be waiting off court.
- Coach stands off court near the net with a basket of balls.
How it works
- Coach tosses the ball to one side of the court. Players must return ball to other side of the net with two or fewer passes. No hand passing, setting, or hitting is allowed.
- The players who win the point remain on court and the losing players are replaced by two waiting players.
Coaching Tips
- Emphasize the importance of placing the ball strategically rather than just making an easy pass.
- For less experienced players, you can have 3 or 4 on each side rather than just 2.
