Below is a drill designed to help your defense and passing, but also increase the intensity and energy level in the gym. Anytime you can run a drill that teaches a skill and increases your intensity and energy level, you should consider adding it to your practice. These type of drills not only teach a skill, but effectively increase the effectiveness of subsequent drills in practice.
In the clip below Nancy Dorsey, St. James Academy (KS) Head Coach;2015 AVCA National High School Coach of the Year and 7-Time Kansas Class 5A state champion; demonstrates what she calls “Hyperventilate”. The drill comes from a complete DVD to help you with your practices. For more more information about the DVD click the link High School Volleyball: Dynamic Practice Design and Drills
