From both a motor learning and communication perspective, this is very valuable for their development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Age\/Skill Level:<\/strong> This is a drill for intermediate and higher levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Requirements:<\/strong> 5 players, balls, a full court<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Execution:<\/strong> Set up the players such that there are passers in left back (5) and middle back (6) on one side of the court, a target on the same side, with two servers on the other side in 1 and 5. The server in 1 serves to the passers. After the pass (or missed serve), the two passers change positions (flip) so the one in 5 moves to 6 and vice versa. A second serve comes from the server in 5. After that ball the players slide across (switch) such that the passer in 5 moves to 6 and the one in 6 moves to 1. They receive a second serve from the first server, then flip again so 6 to moves to 1 and 1 goes to 6. They get another ball from the server in 5, then switch back to their starting position to being the cycle again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/coachingvb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Flip-Switch.jpg\" alt=\"Flip-Switch volleyball drill\" class=\"wp-image-23470\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next serve should happen as soon as the two players have moved to their next position to keep things moving. Run the drill for 2 minutes, then rotate. P1 becomes P2. P2 moves to Target. Target goes to serve from 5. The server in 5 move to serve from 1, and the server 1 one becomes P1. Five rotations will have each player go through all of the positions. That works out to a bit over 10 minutes when factoring in time for rotating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Variations:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You can change the length of each rotation, or you could go for some kind of target number of good passes.<\/li><li>You can place the servers however you like if you want to work on certain receiving angles.<\/li><li>Instead of the passers making their changes after a missed serve, you could have the server re-serve. Or, if you have the two servers in the same zone, the other server can be the re-serve.<\/li><li>If you have only 4 players, a coach could be the target.<\/li><li>If you have 6 players, you could add a second target to which the main one has to set the ball (keeping in mind this would slow the drill down).<\/li><li>You could potentially turn each rotation into a servers vs. passers game by scoring the serves and passes.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Additional Comments:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>This is a good drill for working on passers having to <a href=\"https:\/\/coachingvb.com\/whose-ball-seam-responsibilities\/\">communicate and pass seams<\/a> since they are different each ball.<\/li><li>Servers are also faced with a constantly changing set of targets.<\/li><li>You can run two groupings of this drill on the same court without much trouble. In fact, it would likely help with ball circulation.<\/li><li>Note that if you are running timed rounds you should stop the clock if you want to provide player feedback during the drill.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a good volleyball serving and passing exercise that constantly forces players to recognize and adapt to changing scenarios.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":23470,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[426,449,450,453],"class_list":["post-23469","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-volleyball-drills","tag-volleyball-passing","tag-volleyball-serve-receive","tag-volleyball-serve-reception","tag-volleyball-serving"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23469","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23469"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23469\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23469"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23469"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23469"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
