Pick a scoreline and once the scoreline is reached the teams will switch roles. The dead fish volleyball game is certainly not as serious and sinister as it sounds. The idea of the dead fish volleyball game is to work on service pressure, service accuracy and overcoming problems when at a disadvantage. To play the dead fish game, again split the teams in two and get them to stand in a line behind each service line. One team at one end and the other team on the opposite end.
The teams will take it in turns trying to serve the ball over the net and into the opposition side. If the serve is successful they will rejoin the back of the line. This person is now the dead fish waiting to be brought back to life.
The dead fish can be saved if someone from their team gets a serve, not only in and over the net, but also is able to make the ball land on or touch their player. If all of the players on the team miss their serve before saving their team mate they are out. The winning team is the team who still has remaining servers.
One of the next most fundamental skills in Volleyball is passing. I have a full in depth article about the proper technique of passing so I will skip this step and get straight to the drills. The first fun drill is the between the legs bouncing drill. This drill can be done in a multitude of ways, the easiest way I suggest it to split the team into 2 and make one player from each team the feeder.
One player from each team will step forward into the call and get into the base passing position. The feeder will throw the ball upwards and in the direction of the passer. The aim of the drill is to make the passer move towards the flight of the ball and they want to try and let the ball bounce between their legs.
This drill is fantastic for teaching players how to move and get their body behind the ball whilst also teaching players correct timing and that passing the ball in the correct stance at a lower point is much more beneficial for accuracy. If the players are of a much better ability there is much more advanced version of this drills that allows players to work on reactions and also practice giving the ball energy to reach a certain target. Now you know the between the legs drill we can really advance this drill to make it more challenging.
Split the team into two groups again and get each time to stand behind the opposite baselines. One team will serve and the first player from the other team will step forward. In this drill the receiving player must track the serve and time it correctly so that the ball will bounce between their legs.
If the ball hits their legs or they jump to get over the ball the point is automatically awarded to the other team. Once the receiving player has stepped over the ball the second player in the line must admittedly play the ball back over the net. The person who previously served must now allow the ball to pass through their legs and again the next player in line must dig the ball before it bounces again and return the ball to keep the rally going.
This process is repeated until the ball either hits the player when passing through their legs or alternatively the next person in line can not get the ball back over the net.
Pick a score line and play the game out until the desired scoreline is achieved by one team.
