Practice plans
Whole practices, with the drills, the minutes and what to bring. Open one in Rufio Court to watch every drill, or print the page for the gym.
First practice: beginner
Your first session with players who are new to volleyball. Warm up, learn to move to the ball, pass, serve underhand, call the ball, and finish with a small game where everyone plays.
First practice: intermediate
For players who can already pass and serve. Most of the night is ball control and talking, with one butterfly and one hitting block.
First practice: advanced
A first session with experienced players. See what they do at speed, hit and dig in a butterfly, build a jump serve, and finish with six on six.
At home: parent and player
A 30-minute backyard session for one player and a parent. Practice setting, passing and the serve toss with one ball and a towel. The parent can toss and catch throughout; no volleyball experience or net needed.
Rec league, mixed levels, one coach
For a rec or school team with beginners and club players in the same gym and one coach. Players feed each other in pairs and small groups, so nobody waits long, and every drill has a call.
