With these basic volleyball passing drills remember to 

a) Anticipate where the ball is heading and quickly move to get the middle of your body behind the ball

b) Hold your wrists together keeping elbows straight to form a "platform" which is what you use to make contact with the ball.

c) With bent knees and in an athletic stance with hips lower than the oncoming ball, contact the ball with your platform keeping arms very straight so the ball contacts your arms only once.

d) Angle the platform by dropping your shoulder in the direction of where you want the ball to go before you guide it to your setter, or to another hitter or even across the net.


Basic Volleyball Passing Drills For Passing A Tough Serve With Good Technique 




Remember after the opposing team serves, your setter when they come from their base position in serve receive up to the net they also watch their passer also known as “reading” the passer’s body language and the ball to determine if this is a pass that’s coming right to them or if they're going to have to chase the ball down because they didn’t pass it to the target. (out of system). . .

Basic Volleyball Passing Drills Tips To Control The Ball To Your Setter Against A Tough Float Server




Controlling the pass, also called "controlling the ball" or "ball control" is a big part of becoming a very good volleyball passer.

One way we teach passers to control the ball is to drop their hips lower than the level of the oncoming ball which helps you contact the ball to forearm pass it from a lower point.

With your hips lower than the oncoming served ball you can get under it and give it lift from a better angle with your legs.
