Use These Passing Drills To Improve Your 

                              

Offensive Efficiency

1.Passing the Serve Drill

This first passing drill will focus on the skills of passing the serve. This drill will be a good drill to run with all of your passers (outside hitters, opposites, and liberos).The main point is to focus on the passers moving their feet to get to the ball, get in passing position, and focus on getting the hips and shoulders pointed to the target. Emphasis is placed on passing accuracy before rotating out players.

Pass and Run Drill

This drill can be good for warming up players, or for getting players accustomed to 

passing and moving.

Form two opposing lines with two or three people per line. Once a passer has 

passed the ball to the other line, they will run and get in the end of the other lines.

horter lines require players to pass and move without waiting in between passes.

Pepper Progression

Most people are familiar with the passing drill called pepper. There are a few purposes of this drill called pepper progression. It forces people to work with multiple other people (team building) as well as working on all aspects of volleyball (passing, setting, hitting, digging).This drill requires three people. There will be a standard three hit volleyball with the person in the middle acting as the setter.
One person will bump it to the setter, the setter in the middle will then set it back to the person that passed the ball. That person will then spike it to the third person and the person that spiked will become the setter. The setter will then be the digger and repeat as necessary.

Welcome to the Core Exercises web page. Below you will find several core exercises to help strengthen and develop your core.
Core exercises strengthen your core muscles, including abs, back and pelvis. Why bother with core exercises? Strong core muscles make it easier to do most physical activities.
It is recommended that you perform your core exercises on a mat or carpeted surfaces. If you do not have either of these in your home, you can exercise on a blanket that has been folded to make a padded surface.
These exercises can be performed with family and friends most anywhere.
1. Stay in bridge position for 20 seconds.

2. How many crunches can you do in 60 seconds?

3. Hold the Back Extension position for 10 seconds.
