Fun Drills To Build Skills

I'm looking for fun drills for my 9 year old girls team. Connie gave me a great suggestion - "dead fish." Any others?

Another drill I do is "Air raid" you need howwever many team members you have to each have a ball. Divide them into equal teams. Each team is starting with the same number of balls. The object is to get all the balls on the other side of the net in a certain amount of time. I give the kids 2 minutes and the team that has the most balls on their side "loses". I do this with serving. It really gets the kids moving and concentrating on their serves.

I also do serving to areas. Once again divide into even teams. Have one member of each team stand in the 1 position. Their teammates must serve to them. Once the person in position 1 catches a ball, the person that served it moves into position 2. The first team that gets their people around the court and back to position 1 wins.

If there are built in basketball hoops you can also do a race with setting. OPut the kids into even numbered teams and see which team can be the first to set 10 ball through the hoop. As they get better raise the number.

Yes, ´dog pile´.

The kids laying over each other on the floor, like a ´dog pile´. On the other side of the net, there stand the coach with a ball. He serve with a underhand serve. When he do so, the kids must stand up, the first kid must play the ball with a forearme pass, the second must give a set up and kid 3 or 4 or maybe 5 must spike or play the ball otherwise over the net.

It's a great game, where the kids must work together and play volleyball at the same time.
