Practice at home with your player

Open the parent-and-player session

The At home: parent and player plan is a 30-minute backyard session for one child learning the basics and one adult. It uses a ball, a towel and water. The adult can toss and catch throughout; no net or volleyball experience is needed.

1. Open the home plan in Court, or choose At home with your player in the welcome pane.
2. Read the setup and watch each drill with your player.
3. Use Run practice for the clock, or read and print the plan.

What you will do

• Warm up together, then practice a few shuffle steps.
• Toss, set and catch. A catch in the setting window is fine while the player learns.
• Take water, then work on soft passes back to the parent.
• Outside, practice the serve toss onto a towel without hitting or jumping.
• Finish with a shared rally goal. The parent may catch every return.

Choose your own home drills

Browse At home drills for solo, wall and parent-fed choices. Check the equipment and safety note on each card; not every home drill fits a small room. Let your player choose a skill for next time.
