Volleyball drill: warm-up - jumping hurdle

Two groups - 1 catcher at position 3 - trainer at other side with cart to pass ball to

• 1 hurdle at position 1 on backline

• 2 hurdles in front of each other - one at the same height as hurdles 1 and 5, one hurdle 1m behind

Jumping over hurdle for player - quickly backwards diagonally and jump over two hurdles

• Come from position 5 - ball arrives at position 5
• Come from position 1 - ball arrives at position 1

Reception play to catcher - reception player becomes catcher - catcher puts ball in cart - catcher becomes booking

OBJECTIVE:

• Trainer knocks to start on ball = sign that player may start jumping
• Don't knock anymore = next player starts when previous player is over 2nd hurdle
• Ball must land perfectly on position 3
• Presence of many players = high tempo of the exercise
