The Butterfly

One of the most commonly used drills by any volleyball team would be the butterfly. This drill can be modified in so many variations, that it can suit any team's goals for practicing a technique. As a coach, you can uses this drill to focus on passing, setting, hitting, blocking, defense, footwork, technique, reading hitters/passers/blockers/servers. It's really exponential.

During the "early development" phase of coaching beginning volleyball players, this drill is extremely useful in progressing from a static toss and pass, toss and set, toss and hit "blocked practice" drill into more random practice - where your players need to learn to read and react to touches on the ball that might not be perfect.
