Volleyball drills for technique passing / defense / reception

Pass and overarm exercise

• Player A and A1 have the ball. 
• This player throws the ball to player B/B1 
• Player B/B1 passes the ball back 'perfectly' 
• Player A/A1 then plays the ball in the basket. 
• Player A/A1 picks up the ball and joins the back of the line. You follow your ball  

The tempo is automatic and can be increased. Make it harder by letting player B pass elsewhere, so player A has aim for the basket. Other option: Player A throws to a more difficult spot in the field. 

Estimate ball trajectory, shuffle, stand still, shoulders correctly, and pass properly.
