Initiate a ball to one of the back row players to dig\/pass to the setter, who then sets either one of the players on their side. That player hits a cross court standing attack (down ball) to the player in their same position (i.e. 1 to 1, 5 to 5). Play continues from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Variations:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you have more than 6 players, the hitter\/defenders can rotate by having the player who &#8220;attacks&#8221; the ball goes to the back of the court on the other side to eventually re-enter the drill there, with someone taking their vacated place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Instead of hitting cross-court, players can hit line.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With more advanced players you can make it actual attacked balls, front or back row.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An additional defender could be added in 6, especially for less advanced teams to get more digs. If so, you can continue to have the players in 1 and 5 be the attackers, and have the player from 6 rotate in for the player who just hit the ball.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Additional Comments:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In order for this drill to work well, players must be relaxed executing a standing down ball. If they are not, there will be many, many errors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have balls on-hand to initiate them fresh quickly when a rally ends.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I saw this drill used in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.volleyball-sc-potsdam.de\/\">SC Potsdam<\/a> training.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This volleyball team pepper drill variation is good for working on both defense and controlled attack across the net.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":133,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[39,56,57,130,180,239],"class_list":["post-4425","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-volleyball-drills","tag-advanced","tag-ball-control","tag-ball-handling","tag-defense","tag-intermediate","tag-pepper"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4425","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=4425"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4425\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4425"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4425"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
