Intro - Question: who plays volleyball?
High-level volleyball match? Where? When? What did you notice?

Today I want you to really think about the keys to passing a volleyball  Proper stance,
Contact Point, Follow through.
Be able to demonstrate these during the games we play. I also want you to maintain an
active pace throughout the lesson (RPE checking)

Knee Tag  the purpose of this game is to get into the proper low stance needed for volley
ball and to get your feet moving
 Choose a partner
 Touch partners knees
 Avoid being touched

Go Over how to pass a volley ball

Set:
- Start in the ready position facing the target.
- Spread fingers in the shape of the ball above the head.
- Form a Triangle with thumbs and pointer fingers (hands should not be touching)
- Place hands directly in front of the face close to the forehead. This position is called
 NEUTRAL and is always the starting position for the set.
- On contact, set by extending the arms and legs.

 No hitting the ball with your palms

 Make sure to be under the ball
Pass:
- Start in the "Ready Position"
- Straight arms away from the body
- Extend legs and move arms from shoulders
- Contact the ball on the FOREARMS
- Finish with hands pointing to target
 Keep feet moving
 No need to swing arms

Get into groups of 5 or 6 you get 5 minutes to set and pass the ball to each other and see
how many times you can pass the ball without in touching the ground. Watch each other and
give peer feedback ( I will be circulating also providing feedback)
.
