The group volley exchange drill can be performed using the entire
team.
Players work in an area approximately 20 yards x 20 yards.
Start with one ball. The player with the ball volleys into the air. The
ball is allowed to bounce once before the next player volleys it into the
air.
The idea is to keep the ball and players moving around the grid.
Players should
focus on "quick feet" and being light on their toes. Players should be constantly alert and
communicating with each other.
Start by using 1 ball, then add additional
balls to increase the tempo of the practice.
Progressions:
1. Free play - unlimited touches before volleying the ball.
2. Restrict to 2 touch before volleying the ball.
3. Restrict to 1 touch, volley first time.
4. After volleying the ball, the player must sprint around an outside flag
pole.
