Volleyball drills for technique setting / overarm technique

The purpose of the core is that the players can play the ball overhead.

  • The players stand in pairs facing each other and play overhead.
  • Hands well above the head, from the legs, stretch the body and point to the ball
  • The players stand further and further apart.


  • Then we form two rows diagonally across the field and we play BH, chase your ball

core-1-overhead

  • T throws ball to line of passers
  • Pass to SV on 2/3
  • SV gives a good set up at 52 (outside)
  • Offender plays BH to the hoop at position 1
  • Then to the hoop at position 5


If it goes well, make it a game, every time you hit a hoop, 1 point

Overlap, 40X

pass underhand 40X
