Purpose:
To get your players moving while they continue to develop different passing abilities
What You Need:
- Partner up players based on skill level
- Give each pair 1 ball
- Make sure that each pair has enough space to move and hit
How It Works:
- One player will start off the passing drill by tossing the ball to their partner
- The coach will call out the type of pass while the ball is in the air (e.g. high pass, flat pass, set, etc.)
- The receiving player must react to the call and perform the desired pass returning the ball to their partner
- The pair continues to pass back and forth and the coach continues to call out different passes as desired
Results & Tips:
- Players will gain increased skill in passing the ball using a wide range of passing styles and receiving scenarios
- To add variety or if numbers are odd, you can form groups of 3 and run the same drill
- To make it more difficult you can rapidly call out new passes so that each player has to hit the ball differently each time they receive the ball
