The Volleyball Pepper Drill: Partner and Three Player Pepper Drills 

The volleyball pepper drill is a ball control drill using setting, digging and hitting skills usually done as a partner or three player person drill in warmup.



The volleyball pepper drill is used in various forms when in warmups and in the main part of my Breakfast Club and Happy Hour practice to improve technique.


Check out some of the various ways we use the  volleyball pepper drill that we do in my advanced Breakfast Club trainings and Happy Hour classes.

Three Person Pepper drill .

Here’s a variation of this popular volleyball pepper drill that keeps two players moving at ALL times.

DEFENSE

Hitter stays while only the digger and setter switch after each touch.

Moving from setter to digger working on a quick back pedal with fast feet .. . moving until hitter begins their armswing...

...then being STOPPED in a balanced position .. .. before you dig.

Great job Becky (hitter) and Angelle and Talina (digging and setting.)

For a different variation of your partner volleyball pepper drill ..try a one hand jump set .. then hit to your partner like we do to vary our ball control warmup skills in Breakfast Club.




Can you do this?

Try a one handed set ... set yourself a two ball.. then hit to your partner. (Watch out Carm!)

In Breakfast Club Working on keeping elbow high and swinging fast .. while still controlling the ball to your target.

Too easy? Then.. add the last two steps of your approach jump before hitting to your partner
