How to practice passing on the left in volleyball

You want your players to pass on the left, right? (the answer is yes) But, they're used to the "way they've been taught" straight on or wherever the ball is. What they have yet to realize is their form makes all the difference in the ease of the task. For example, a player who drops her shoulder to tilt her platform will not have to swing her arms as much or create some crazy-looking forearm maneuver to get the ball all the way over to the setter.

This drill makes the player over-exaggerate the form required to pass on the left and get it to the setter.

Coach, stand on a box on the opposite side of the net at right front.

One player is the target between middle and right front.

Another player takes a knee at left front (drop the left knee), about 6-8 ft from the net. This will make it nearly impossible to pass on the right.

1. Coach tosses the volleyball ball slightly over the net.
2. The passer must drop her right shoulder and tilt her platform far enough to push the volleyball all the way to the target.
3. 20 reps

This is a basic form passing drill. It's not good for conditioning but passing reps in this position will get your players used to passing on the left.
