In this drill, players grab a partner and line up perpendicular to the net. One player is stationed at the net while the other starts on the ten-foot line.
The player at the net tosses the ball to the player at the ten foot line, first short, then deep then short again. The player at the ten-foot line hustles to get into position and stopped before playing the ball. This drill can be used for passing or setting. Have the player pass or set a certain number of perfect contacts or you can time the drill and have the partners switch positions.
A variation on this drill for setting is to have the moving player set to themselves and then set to their partner before moving short or deep. Or have your player set to themselves and then back set to their partner.
For beginning players, you can have them work on getting their feet into position and stopping to catch the ball over their forehead for setting or in front of them for passing.
