The schedule balances warm-up, hitting drills, partner skill work (passing/setting), serving practice, and game-like drills. Detailed technique priorities emphasize stable wrist-and-hand contact, simple repeatable arm mechanics, correct body alignment to the ball, balanced shuffling, and early server recognition. Attack instruction focuses on approach timing, arm loading (double arm lift, bow-and-arrow), and torque for powerful, well-timed jumps.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/","Template",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/presentations/","Presentations",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/youth-volleyball-coachs-guides-skills-drills-typical-practice-plan/355719/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/youth-volleyball-coachs-guides-skills-drills-typical-practice-plan/355719.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Rizky","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-27","2026-09-22",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",8,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What does a typical youth volleyball practice plan include and how is time allocated?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"It follows a staged plan: warm-up passing, hitting drills, skill partner work (passing/setting), serving drills, additional drills like circulation, targeted setting, and game-like drills such as “queen of the court.” The schedule uses short focused blocks to build skills progressively.","Answer",{"name":66,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":67},"What are the key fundamentals for passing?",{"text":68,"@type":64},"The guide emphasizes keeping wrists and hands together to form a controlled platform early, using straight and simple arm mechanics, facing the ball with an angled platform to the target, and shuffling to stay balanced and square.

Wrist and Hands Together (early)  \na. Why? Surface area equals control. It’s important that the athletes have a big, flat platform, which includes their hands. This key is hands down the most uncomfortable one to fix. Spend some time here, and ensure the athletes are willing to make changes.  \n2. Straight and Simple (elbows straight, hands down)  \na. Why? This is a common mistake that needs to be fixed early on. Kids will make a double move (some call it bobbing or praying) where they bring their arms up, and then back down before passing. They also bend their elbows before passing. We need to focus on helping them eliminate the extra movements. We have them start with their hands on their knees or hanging straight down. Make sure they pass with straight arms without any up and down movement. Simple is better than complex. Repeatable actions are best.  \n3. Face the Ball, Angle the Platform  \na. Why? When we pass the laws of physics apply. The ball knows angles, so we want to let the angle do the work. Most kids will want to direct the ball by swinging their arms in a desired direction. We want to change this. Make sure the kids are facing the ball, and angling their platform to the target. When they are finished with their move the shoulders and body should not be facing the target, but rather square to the ball.  \n4. Shuffle  \na. Why? Kids will want to cross their feet when they move. This action forces them to be off balance. Make sure kids shuffle when they move to pass. This helps with balance and enables to stay square to the ball. If we aren’t balanced it’s difficult to pass. Make sure they do not bob up and down as they shuffle. Getting to ball and getting feet stopped on contact is best.  \n5. See Server, See Spin (this applies to receiving the serve)  \na. FITTTS  \nb. Find the server EARLY-fixate on the server from the time they get the ball. Begin to identify possible serving direction from where they are standing and looking. Look for other “tells”: (way back could be a jump serve, really close could be a short serve, etc. ) .  \nc. Identify the angle of attack. See the direction of the server’s steps and the angle of attack.  \nd. Toss, Tempo, then Torque. The toss is just like the set. Where is it going to take the server/hitter (based upon the angle of the attack and in relation to their body) . How fast (tempo) are they moving, stepping, running? Torque-what are their shoulders doing and at what angle?  \ne. Spin or no Spin? Recognizing what type of serve it is (may happen early in the sequence) . If it is spinning, how? Spin equals direction. If it’s not spinning, determine velocity (how fast is it coming? Deep or short? Etc. ) .  \n6. Passing Principles  \na. The ball “knows” angles (let the angle do the work)  \nb. Simple movements over complex (easy to repeat)  \nc. The arms and hands respond best to unexpected events.  \nd. Passing high and off the net is statistically proven to be the most effective.  \nHitting/Attacking Keys  \n1. 4 steps (right, left, right, left)--for ALL hitters out of serve receive.  \na. Right foot forward  \nb. Small, bigger, biggest  \nc. Slow, faster, fastest  \nd. 2nd step on or behind the 10’ line  \n2. Double arm lift  \na. Relax on 1st step (a little forward movement of the arms is ok)  \nb. Forward and down on the 2nd step  \nc. Back on 3rd step ( BIG reach, straight back, arms straight  \nd.
