Volleyball Drills Passing Exercises For Players To Learn To Pass Fast

The volleyball drills passing liberos are good at doing after learning how to pass a tough server consistently with good technique and clean body movements.





Whether you do these volleyball drills passing specialists do at home by yourself, or do them in practice with your teammates, it's best to get in the habit of setting mini goals for yourself to reach in order to complete each drill.

For example, let's say you have to get 50 perfectly passed balls to the target before stopping one drill and going on to the next.

Not only will you discipline yourself to perform the volleyball drills passing correctly, but you will replicate the pressure you will feel in a game-like situation when you absolutely have to do the skill right.


Volleyball Drills Passing Exercises For Players Who Need To Learn To Pass A Ball




  • Take two big steps away from the wall
  • Pick a spot on the wall that's 2-3 feet above your head.
  • Use a piece of tape or chalk or identify the brick that you are going to pass EVERY ball to.
  • Start passing to that spot.
  • Every time the ball doesn't get to that spot, stop and start again.

Do not finish until you've passed 25 balls to that spot. They don't have to be in a row at first. Just get 25 no matter how long it takes.

Volleyball Drills Passing Partner Exercises To Do At Home To Improve Ball Control: Partner Switch




Here are volleyball drills passing specialists use to start improving ball control.

Start by passing the ball back and forth. One person is on the ten foot line and the other three feet inside the end line or back court line. . .

The person closest to the net, on the ten foot line, is the control “target” partner. . .

This is the “target” person who never moves and where the partner who is working needs to get the ball to. . .

If you’re the “working” partner then your job is to get the ball to the head of the “target” without making the target move..

If the “target” partner has to move more than one step to get to the ball that you are passing, setting, or digging to them then you need to improve your ball control . .

This is a volleyball player’s target practice.

Being able to get the ball right to the target you are aiming for…without the target moving… is what you are practicing to do. Get the ball to the target…without the target having to move. .
