Volleyball drills for

• 2 players, each have their own ball
• 1 of 2 players is the boss, the other follower (later reverse this)
• You start simple and you can expand with various difficulties

1. if the boss throws the ball with a bounce, the follower throws the ball on breast height to the bass
2. if the boss throws the ball on breast height, the follower throws the ball with a bounce.
3. More difficult: if the boss puts down the ball, the follower also puts down the ball, and both walk to the ball of the other, boss throws bounce or breast ball etc
4. More difficult: if the boss throws the ball in a high arch, then:
   • the follower first throws his own ball in the air
   • catches the boss' ball
   • immediately throws it back
   • catches his own ball

• after a while, change all bosses and followers

• 1 of 2 is the boss (change after a while)
• the boss decides how he throws the ball to the other
• with a bounce, the follower throws a breast ball
