Whether you do volleyball passing fundamentals drills at home by yourself, or doing 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 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 Passing Fundamentals Drills: Learn How To Forearm Pass A Ball Consistently
Keep Shoulders Over Knees and Straighter Elbows
The whole idea about passing a tough serve accurately and consistently enough with good technique and clean body movements...đ
....to the same spot every time ...đ is that it helps your setter read your body language easier and know what youâre going to do and how youâre going to do it...which makes it easier for her to get to the ball you pass. .
Thatâs a huge reason why we spend so much time doing passing reps and rehearsing âcleanâ âpredictableâ body movements done over and over again.
If you add the famous ice cream scoop movement to your pass, or if you swing your arms at the ball, or if you stand up at the last minute to pass even when you donât have to... not only are these extra movements that do nothing to help you get the ball to the target but even more importantly these movements make it more difficult for your setter to know where you plan to pass the ball. .
Remember after the opposing team serves, your setter when she comes from her base position in serve receive up to the net sheâs also watching her passer also known as âreadingâ her passerâs body language and the ball to determine if this is a pass thatâs coming right to her or if sheâs going to have to chase the ball down because you didnât pass it to the target. (out of system). .
Clean arm movements with a frozen platform, quick feet to the ball, and precise body moves by the passer make it easier for the setter to read and anticipate where the passed ball is going to be. .

If the âtargetâ 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
