Tracking and Catching

Sample Activity

 Catch an object with both one and two hands
 Vary the size of the objects caught, along with the distance necessary to track the object

 Use items that are easy to catch such as beanbags, nerf balls, beach balls, etc.
 Can catch a volleyball with two hands

 Catch above head
 Catch at waist

 Catch at knees
 Catch outside the body
 Catch a ball is a manner of overhead set and forearm pass

 Play games that require catching such as Wiffle Ball that require tracking a ball with an irregular

flight pattern (great warmup activity) http://www.wiffle.com/ Games such as soccer and touch
football are also great.
 Of course, getting on the volleyball court and work on reception skills, locating under the ball to
set, and tracking the ball to attack are specific to the task at hand.
