Two More Tactical Games!

VOLLEYBALL!

Tactical Problem: one tactical problem for volleyball could be making sure everyone hits the ball before the ball is sent over the net. One way to demonstrate this in an activity is to have everyone line up on a line at the back of the volleyball court. There should be five players. The first person in the line takes a few steps forward away from the rest of the line and bumps or volleys the ball. Once the ball is in the air, the second person runs out to the ball and bumps or sets it in the air and then the third person runs out and so on. Once the ball gets to the last person the last person has to send it over the net all the way to the team in a line on the other side. Then that person goes to the front of the line so everyone gets a chance to send the ball over the net. This will work on the idea that everyone has to hit the ball before it is sent over the net. Now, in a real volleyball game, not everyone has to hit it before the ball is sent over, but this drill simply exemplifies the idea of everyone getting fair play time and dividing the work among your team. 

 

Another Tactical Problem:  a problem that arises in volleyball is placing the ball in a difficult position when returning it to the opposing team. To practice this skill a game to play is a modified game of volleyball. A normal game of volleyball will be played, but there can only be points scored if the ball lands in a certain part in the court right in front of the net. This will ensure close placement which will help to deceive the other team in game situations. Only two people on the team can stand in the section that is marked off by the tape and this will rotate every point. This doesn't mean that the ball will not go other places: this is what the rest of the team is for, but in order for your team to score a point it must land in the taped off area in front of the net on the other team's side without them hitting it back.
