Volleyball Wall Passing And Setting Drills Improve Ball Control Skills

Doing volleyball wall passing and setting drills at home, in practice or open gym are ways to improve your volleyball passing and ball handling skills on the court. 

Pick a brick, or mark an X in chalk ..no matter what anybody walking by should be able to see exactly which spot you are passing to..over and over.⁠

Do 3 sets of 100 five feet from the wall ..then step back two feet and repeat. Then step back and repeat.⁠ Complete 300 passing reps.

Wall setting drills can be done to soften your fingers when they touch the ball which you can do while sitting on a ball. 

These volleyball wall passing drills are designed to help you

• improve your passing technique,
• increase your ability to pass the ball to the target and
• to pass tough serves. 

I like to start with a warmup passing drill where you go against the wall

• to focus on your passing technique before getting on the court and
• progressing to passing with a partner. 

When passing to the wall here are where your body parts need to be: 

Feet

• one of your feet is 1-2 inches in front of the other and both feet are shoulder width apart

Knees

• you're in what we call a "loaded" position with your knees slightly bent - this is an athletic stance which allows you to move quickly to your right or left if you need to

Hips

• when passing the ball your hips need to be below the level of the oncoming ball

Upper Body

• with your upper body you should lean over slightly making sure you keep 

Shoulders

• your shoulders over your knees

Volleyball Hands

• your passing grip keeps one hand tightly inside the other with thumbs pointing down to the ground - this is what keeps your elbows nice and straight when you pass

With this volleyball wall passing drill you should be working on: 

• keeping hips below the level of the ball
• keeping straight elbows always
• keeping shoulders over knees
• prevent your arms from swinging at the ball

• keeping your platform location - a ball's width away from your body (your platform shouldn't be held too high nor should it be too close to your body - for perfect platform location you should be able to fit a volleyball under your armpits)
• keeping "strong shoulders" which help your straight arms present a flat passing surface called "your platform" which is used to guide the ball to the target
• prevent your feet from getting too far apart

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.
