Fun Volleyball Drills That Will Keep Kids Interested
Keeping it fun, keeps them interested. I will list a few fun drills that you can try with your team to help them with their basic skills, and others skills that are often not practices much. These will improve your team's performance.
Have your team jog on a specific spot on the floor. Have them do this until you say "Hit the Floor". When you yell out those words all of the team has to drop to the floor immediately. If you want to make it competitive, you can set a rule such as the last player to drop is out.
Split up your team into pairs and have them stand about 10-20 feet apart on each side of the net. Give each pair of players a ball. Start the drill with player one giving a hard down ball to player two.
Player two has to dig the volleyball up high, and then tomahawk it using above the head contact, then they should hit the ball with their left fist only, then just use their right fist, then set the ball up to themselves, then lastly hit a down ball over the net for the other team mate to replicate the sequence of hits.
Begin doing this drill at a slow pace then little by little increase the speed as the team becomes familiar with the array of the skills and the amount of power required to keep on hitting the ball to each other.
Another drill is to take two players and have one lay on top of the other. You hit the ball high into the court. At the sound of the hit on the ball, the players get up, and the player that was on the bottom runs to the ball to make a pass; the other player that was on top will move to get into position to set their team mate. After the pass, set, and hit the volleyball drill starts over with a new pair of players. This is great drill for learning fast response and player communication skills.
