Volleyball, played mainly by females from elementary to collegiate levels but also a popular men's beach sport, is physically and mentally challenging. Not only is the game fast-paced, but features many unique techniques that require practice to master. With advanced volleyball drills like the three-man pass, set, spike dig, the two-man serve, pass set, and the ball-handling three-person pepper drill, improving your skills is possible with time and effort.
Three-Man Pass, Set, Spike, Dig
There should be two teams of three on each side of the net, with one player on each team designated the passer, one as the setter, and the remaining player as the hitter. Begin by serving the ball, and continue to pass until the player are warmed up. Once the players are warm, begin to pass, set and hit. Rotate clockwise once the ball is hit over the net. To further focus players' attention on controlling the ball, have two other groups of three playing on the court.
Two-Man Serve, Pass, Set
This drill involves two-player groups, with one player the passer and the other the setter. To begin, have one group serve the ball to another group. The passer will pass the ball to the setter, who will then set the ball. Once that is complete, that group will switch to the opposite side to serve to another two-player group. The two-man serve, pass, set drill forces players to control the ball, and allows them to warm up properly because they are constantly moving.
Ball Handling
Line up three players with one ball to complete a three-person pepper drill with a center digger. The first player will set the ball to the second player, who is at the opposite end of the line from the first player. The second player will hit the ball to the third player, the center digger, who will dig the ball and return it to the second player, who will set it back to the first player. The first player will hit the ball to the third player, who returns it to the first player. Repeat the cycle.
