Volleyball Drills & Skills: Zone Serving

Around The World

This drill is all about teaching players to serve accurately in a pressure situation. Here is how the drill works:

Players will divide up into two teams. Each team will be behind the opposite service line.
One player from each team will sit in zone 1 on the opposite side of the court.
As the drill starts, one player in each team will try to serve to their teammate that is sitting down.
When the ball is served, the player that is sitting down must catch the ball.
If the ball is not caught, the next player in the serving line will try to serve to the player sitting down.
Once the served ball is caught, the player will then sit down in zone 2 and continue through all six zones.
The winner is the team that can get through all six zones first.
