Butterfly

High-volume passing reps with constant rotation — players follow the ball through every position.

How to run it

1
P1 throws or serves to P5. P5 passes to P4 (target). P4 catches. After each action, every player rotates to the next spot — 'follow the ball.' Continuous rotation. Progression 1: continuous passing. Progression 2: add a second ball.

Coach emphasis: The drill never stops. Move to your next spot the moment your touch is done.

Keep building

Train athletes to beat the ball to the spot, slow their feet, and let platform angle solve direction.

Train passers to read serve direction early, move their feet first, and arrive balanced before contact.

Build a clean, repeatable hand-set through deliberate contrast drills that isolate each fault.

Teach setters to travel with the ball using the correct footwork pattern for each direction.

Build the full library of scramble touches so athletes have an answer when the rally goes sideways.

Foundational passing technique drill — high feedback, slow tempo, fix faults before adding speed.

Many of our drills are adapted from the coaching resources at Better at Beach and the FIVB.
