Administration

1. Divide class into groups of 4; 2 on either side of the net.

• tosser; shagger, reciever; setter

    2.   Pick one person to get equipment, the other 3 find a space along the net.

Activity:

Rules: 

• tosser puts ball over net to reciever
• reciever passes to setter.
• setter passes back to reciever.
• reciever puts the ball over the net to the shagger.
• players on the same side of the net switch roles, (reciever --> setter)
• NOT a continuous drill, complete 6 repetitions and have the two groups switch roles, (setter & reciever --> tosser and shagger)
• Can become a continuous drill as the students skill level improves.

Teaching Points:

Forearm pass:

1. Strong base:  legs shoulder width apart, knees bent, weight on the front of the feet.
2. Solid platform:  hands together, elbows turned together, minimal gap between arms.
3. At contact don't swing with the arms; "accuracy over power".
4. Initiate pass with the legs, pushing up through the arms.
