Volleyball drills are an important part of any volleyball training program. A team needs to know all of the skills learned through a good set of volleyball drills in order to excel in their game play and work toward being the number one team in the league. A good set of drills will help build great team work and individual play by teaching how to strike the ball, how to know the correct place to be during plays, and building self-confidence. Using drills to build these fundamentals will mean the difference between a good team and a great team.

Serving volleyball drills are important as they can help determine the pace of the game at the start of any play. A good serve can often mean the difference between winning and losing a game. The two main types of serves are the overhand serve and the underhand serve. Both have their advantages, as well as disadvantages, but it is a good idea to know both types of serves. Most other serves stem from these two basic serves, so it is a good idea to drill in both.

Passing volleyball drills help the team learn to control where the ball goes at any time. This is the way to get the ball from one player to another player who may have a better set up for a kill shot. Passing is essential, as it positions the ball in the best spot to continue the play, as well as controlling the speed of the ball at the time of the pass. That makes it an essential skill to practice with on a regular basis.

Another important skill to work into volleyball drills is the tip. The tip is a way to lightly hit the ball over the net, while making it seem as if the ball is being hit harder, thus further, than it truly is. In essence, the tip is a way to fake out the other team. Anything that can help psyche out the opponent is an important tool to have in the volleyball arsenal.

Drills that work on the dig are also important volleyball drills to work on. These drills concentrate on keeping the ball in play after it has been spiked. Often, this is combined with a pass to keep the ball from hitting the ground, while allowing for a good continuation of play. One of the most common combinations of this is to dig the ball to the setter, so the setter can set up the spike.
