Full-Court Bump and Move
Learning Outcomes
Improve forearm passing (bumping) technique.
Develop movement after contact (don’t stand still after passing).
Enhance court coverage and spacing.
Build teamwork and communication in transition play.
Description Of Activity
Divide players into two teams, each spread across the full court (6 per side, or fewer depending on group size).
Coach starts the drill by tossing or serving a ball into play.
Players must bump (forearm pass) the ball to a teammate—no spiking or setting at the start.
Rule: After every bump, the player must move to a new spot on the court (cannot stay still).
Teams rally back and forth across the net, focusing on control and movement.
Rally continues until an error (ball out, double contact, or failure to return).
Reset and repeat, rotating servers/starters.
Variations
Target Passing: Require the bump to go to a designated target player each time (like a setter zone).
Add Setting: After a few minutes, allow bump → set → bump to simulate real rally.
Small-Sided: 3v3 or 4v4 across the full court for more touches.
Timed Challenge: See how long a rally can last without a mistake.
Point System: 1 point every time a team makes 5 consecutive passes.
Coaching Tips
Emphasize low, stable stance when bumping.
Remind players to call the ball (“Mine!” or “Got it!”).
Encourage quick movement after passing to cover new space.
Focus on controlled, accurate passes rather than power.
Keep intensity high but fun—encourage energy and teamwork.
Equipment/Material Required
Volleyballs (at least 1 in play, extras on hand).
Full court with net.
Whistle/stopwatch (for timing variations).
