Get those feet moving in the right direction to get those short balls.

1. Pick three players to pass. Then they should each put a pair of long socks on their arms. (The socks should go up to their elbows)

2. The players then stand in the backrow on the court (Just like in serve-recieve in a real game). The players then should get into a mountain climb position and start moving their feet like their doing a mountain climb. (Meanwhile the coach should be in front of them hitting balls at them while the other players are shagging).

3. The players continue to dig the balls as they are being hit to them. (The players should be hitting the floor going aggressively torwards the ball).

4. Most coaches do this drill for time or quantity of balls dug. The idea of this drill is to keep the player's feet moving towards the ball and getting the ball up.
