Teaching Points: According to the level of performance the
court
may be in- or decreased Emphasize that short overhand passes
are
generated in the wrist and a long overhand passes are generated
by the stretch of knees, arms and wrist (whole body)
Make sure that the overhand passes takes place above the
foreheads of the players
Drill Description: The ball has to be played across the net by
an overhand pass. The players should do that in such a way that
their opponent is not able to reach the ball. If, however, the
opponent manages to catch the ball he/she has to throw it right up
into the air and proceed with performing an overhand pass. During
the whole procedure the player is not changing the position. It is
not allowed to move while holding the ball which implies that the
place where the player catches the ball is as well the position
from where he performs his/he throw-off. To start the rally one
player throws the ball backwards into the opponent court.
Drill Variations: Use different kinds of balls Start with passes
vertical to the
shoulder axis only, later proceed without restrictions
It is only allowed to catch and throw the ball directly in front
of the forehead
