Running drills that are too easy or too difficult for your players is not nearly as beneficial as selecting drills that your players can master with much practice and skill improvement.

Four Player Pepper

When selecting volleyball drills for youth, make sure to choose fast-paced drills that emphasize fun as much as skill building to hold your players’ attention. The first of these drills is a variation on the classic pepper drill that my players love. Pepper is an excellent drill because it builds concentration while improving a number of skills including multiple types of hits and ball control. This drill borrows the form of the pepper drill and adapts it for a four player version.

Each group has one ball. At the start of your whistle, the drill begins with the hitter tossing the ball into the air and hitting it to one of the diggers. The digger pops the ball up to the setter who sets the ball up to the hitter, who continues the rotation in a similar fashion.
