Volleyball drills for setting / overarm technique

• On both sides of the field 2 players come in.
• There is a pass, setup and attack (from 3 meter line).
• When side A has attacked, these two players circle off and two new ones come in.
• Side B defends the attack by the same pass-setup-attack, these players go to the back line and two new players enter.

• Player starts serving, straight through, on the other side a defender is passing.
• The passer passes to the trainer.
• After service the player runs directly to position 5, where the trainer throws a ball for passing at 2-3.
• Fixed playmaker, gives set-up on the outside.
• After passing, the player makes an attack.
• 2 blockers, defense behind the block and defense at left back.

RUNNING ROUTE:

• The attacker becomes outside blocker.
• Outside blocker becomes inside blocker.

• Line up at position 1.
• Players there have a ball in their hands.
