What players are learning

Learn to deliver a pass to a specific place, not just keep it up.

01

Set it up

  1. Tape a six-foot box at the setter's target zone.
  2. The coach serves a controlled ball from across the net.
02

Run the drill

  1. Passers receive and try to land the ball inside the box.
  2. The pass must be above net height to count.
  3. Score three for the box, one for catchable, zero for unplayable.
03

What to say

  • Every pass has an address.
  • High and inside the box.
  • Angle the platform, do not swing at it.
04

05

Make it harder
