After you've practiced against the wall for a bit, then start your first count of 25 with your right foot slightly forward.
Once finished then go again this time with your left foot slightly forward.
When you've finished with that take two steps back and repeat the above, but further away from the wall.
You are still working on:
You improve your passing skills by increasing your ability to pass well placed tough or high speed serves to the target, repeatedly in our practices and semi-private training.
In order to do this,
served from the opposing court in practice.
Let's get into the specifics as to how you would do this with your teammates in practice .
The server is working on performing correct serving technique and consistently serving the ball to the target down the line.
The passer is working on performing the correct passing technique and passing consistently to the target.
The target catches the ball and bounces it back to the server after the server has completed their serve.
The Court is divided into thirds and in each third there’s a group of three with a server a passer and a target.
In serving warmups the server is aiming to serve between the chest and belly button of the passer.

Figuring out how much to angle the platform to get the ball to the target.
How low is low in your passing stance?
How low do you need to go to keep your hips below the level of the ball when contacting it?

Three servers line up on the opposing court.
I like to stagger the servers so
Passers Get Served Three Balls In a. Row
The first server in Zone 1 serves the ball first all the time, followed by the second server in Zone 6 and the third server that's standing at half court between Zone 5 and Zone 4.
I stagger the servers in this way on the opposing court so that the passer has some balls coming from behind the service line, just like what happens in the game, but the remaining two balls come from a shorter distance away.
This means the balls get to the passer alot faster,
In this drill I like for servers to keep a certain rhythm so the passer isn’t waiting long between reps... this way you can make quick tweaks to your passing technique while creating muscle memory faster.
Servers working accuracy and technique and will serve 5 rounds serving to the left back passer

There are two techniques you can use to pass the deep serve.
Reese is reading and reacting quickly using "fast feet" or quick footwork to move deeper in the court beating the ball to the spot she anticipates it’s going land...
Then she stays in her low passing position and being patient enough... not to rise up but let that ball come down where she can control it.
Carmela uses the other passing technique we practice when a ball is coming right at your head.
Volleyball Passing Drills: Let The Ball Pass You Then Cut It Off
You turn sideways to let the ball pass you, then you drop your inside shoulder to present your angled platform in the path of the ball so you redirect it back to your zone 3 where your setter is waiting to run the attack.

I share alot of individual, partner and easy-to-do volleyball serving drills we do in class with my followers.
Many of these volleyball practice drills you can do at home by yourself or try at your next practice with your teammates.
If you're a B team or JV player trying to make varsity next year...your goal should be to complete 1000 reps a day of at least three of the basic skills on your own...volleyball passing, serving and setting should be at the top of the list.
Your three options are:
