I'm looking for ideas for activities for students to do to practice passing a volleyball. I want to keep the students active for the entire activity and not just have them stand with a partner who tosses the ball to them and they pass it back. Any ideas? |

With a bigger group, you can have the students do shuttle passing. Four people on one side of the sidelin and four on the other side line. Once you pass you go to the end of the other line. And the passing lines continue. This way when you aren't passing you are running to the other line, this keeps it a little bit more active.
You can also have your students work on shuffling when passing. Have a group in left back and you throw a ball over the net. The passer must pass the ball while shuffling through it. Keeping their feet wide. You can make this as hard as you want depending on the age level. |

Another activity you might want to try is having students in the 3 back positions, a student in the front middle as a setter, and a couple students in a line on the opposite side of the net. The line on the opposite side of the net throws the ball over the net to the back row, somewhere random, forcing the players to react and move to the ball. The back rows goal is to aim the ball towards the setter once they hit it. The setter then sets the ball to either the right or left side. ( If you have enough players you can set them in lines on the left or right side and have them practice hitting the ball over the net, if not , just have the setter practice setting the ball by themselves ) Then to rotate, whomever hit the ball in the back row moves into the setters position, the setter moves to the other side of the court in the line to throw the ball over the net, and whoever threw the ball over the net runs over to the other side of the court to get into one of the 3 lines for the 3 back positions.
This works well with at least 10 players, so they don't get too tired running around, but I find that it keeps most students active and helps them practice game-like situations. |
