When passing don't forget you want to
- stay very focused and concentrated on the ball starting when it's in the opposing team's server's hands and
- ending when it's bounced off of your platform and heading to your setter's hands
Remember, to pass a ball, you should
- get to your spot quickly,
- beat the ball to where you think its going to land
- be stopped and balanced without leaning to one side or the other
- angle your platform
- before you make the pass
It does happen quickly, but as your forearm passing gets better by using this sequence, you'll see a marked improvement in your passing skills and your ability to get the ball to the target.

Server vs Passer Drill
Two servers vs One passer server vs passer drill
One server is at full court and one is at midcourt and as soon as the passer passes the second server serves so there's a specific rhythm for a predetermined amount of total serves.
Passer must get a certain amount of passes to the target.
Servers can work on
- -serving to the right of the passer
- -serving to the left of the passer
- -serving deep seam to the right or left of the passer
- -serving short seam to the right or left of the passer

3 Person Passing With A Throw
Two groups of three players
- One is target who catches the pass
- One is the passer and
- One is a server/thrower
Goal: To review the passing responsibilities in each passing zone - left back and right back passers.
Left back passers passing in Zone 5 have to take the their deep left seam and short balls in front of them while right side passers work on passing their left deep seam (depending on where the server is, right deep seam if the serve is coming from Zone 5.)
I'll instruct the throwers to throw 10 balls to work the left deep seam so throwing to the left of the passer to make them have to shuffle deep to the end line before passing the ball with good technique.
Everyone rotates so the target passes next, the passer goes to throw and the thrower is now the target catching passes.
After three warmup rounds with throws...remember I'm also coaching and checking the thowers to make sure their throwing arm is using the same correct technique used when doing a float serve. ...then the first server goes back and now serves again using a standing floater.
After everyone does this then one more round with the server working on their jump float serve.

Serving slang is not just about individual techniques; it also relates to overall game strategy. A coach might instruct a player to serve a "short serve" or a "deep serve" to target specific areas of the opponent's court or exploit weaknesses in their serve receive formation.
Ari, my private training client and I are working specifically on serving on jump float cross court serves ...short to Zone 2
There's so much we work on to get to this point where she can contact the ball with
- the same toss height and same toss location
- the same armswing speed
- the same timing for when her serving hand contacts the ball
- the middle of the hand contacting the middle of the ball every single time
- getting use to watching her serving hand contact the ball at the highest point of her jump ...before she starts to land
- and finally contacting the ball in the precise spot on the ball so it goes where the coach wants the player to put it so in this case ..a short serve in the farthest short right corner on the court also called Zone 2.
