This is one of the few volleyball drills a player can do individually. The players spread out on the courts to give themselves room to move. Each player has a ball and the goal is to keep the ball in the air and under control as long as possible.
First start with players bumping the ball to themselves. Then move to setting the ball to themselves. Then begin bumping the ball with just the right hand, then just the left hand.
Lastly, have the players do a succession of contacts, first a bump, then a set, then bounce the ball off of their forehead, then a right hand contact, then a left hand contact and repeat. So the succession is bump, set, head, right, left, repeat.
Keep players going for a few minutes at each skill. If the ball drops or the player cannot contact the ball with the proper skill, they do five push-ups or sit-ups and then continue with the ball control skill at hand.
