Team Volley Target Drill

Exercise Objectives:
This practice is structured to improve the technical ability of "Volleying for accuracy".

Coaching Pointers:
In an area 10 yards x 15 yards, players alternate receiving the ball from the server.  The receiving player must volley the ball to try and hit the cone/ball (as in the video above). The players alternate volleying the ball, while attempting to score. A goal is awarded each time a player hits the cone/ball. After each volley the receiver must turn and join the end of the group. Make a team completion out of the drill. First team to hit all 3 cones wins!

The coach should emphasize correct technique and slowly build up the tempo to game speed. Care must be taken to emphasize quality over speed.
