Drills and practice in volleyball can go a long way towards helping a team and its individual players to improve and become more skilled players. A drill done in the 6-2 format is simply in the standard indoor volleyball formation that includes six players divided into two rows. This can help players perform more cohesively in game situations.
2-on-6 Volleyball Drill
This drill is excellent for building skills in volleyball players as well as discipline. In this drill, two players line up on one side of the net and six players line up on the other side. The two sides engage in a competition. The two players have to be very aggressive and athletic to stay in the point. The six players must be disciplined and patient so they can make the plays and shots when they come into their zone and not interfere with others when the play is out of their zone.
Net Save Drill
In this drill, players work on their ability to make a save after the ball has been hit into the net. The coach throws the ball into the net and one of the front row players must dive to save the ball. If this drill is performed to form, she will bump the ball high as she saves it, giving her teammate a chance to drive the ball over the net. When making a net save, your teammate has usually hit the ball into the net on the first of three shots you are allowed, so the save must also set up the shot that goes over the net.
Double Block
The double block a vital drill for all front row players. Many spikes come from the outside hitters in the front row. If the left outside player on the offensive team is going up to spike the ball, the right outside player will automatically go up to block the shot. To make the block more effective, the middle player in the front row of the defensive team will slide over to join her teammate. This requires quickness and athletic ability. However, when it is effective, it can blunt your opponent's rally and improve your chances of winning.
Overhead Toss Drill
The overhead toss drill is underrated when it comes to effective serving. To practice consistent serving, you must stand behind the end line with your left foot about 12 inches in front of your right foot if you are right-handed. Stand the opposite way if you are left-handed. Toss the ball so it is about 18 inches over your head. Do not hit the ball. Let it hit the ground. If you have tossed it correctly, it will land about 6 inches to the side of your lead foot. Do this drill 10 times until you get your toss to land consistently.
