Exercise #617: Volleys to Goal from Hands
|
|
OBJECTIVE:
|
This fundamental activity introduces beginning players to the concept of using volleys to score.
|
|
DESCRIPTION:
|
Have your players form several lines in front of the same goal (6-10 yards away), each with a ball in his hands. On the coach's command, the first player in each line drops the ball, volleys it into the goal, and then quickly runs to the side. The next group of players then shoots, continuing so that all players in the practice have taken their volleys as quickly as possible. The coach then counts out 10 seconds, during which all players retrieve their balls and set up to repeat the activity again. Award one point for every ball that goes into the goal, and two points for each shot that strikes "net first".

VARIANTS:
|
1. Require players to finish with a half volley.
2. Require players to alternate right and left feet on each round.
3. Have players start farther away from the goal, toss their balls out in front of them, and finish with volleys on the run.
4. Have players turn to face away from the goal. Have them toss their balls over their head, turn, and finish with a volley before the ball bounces a second time.
