Overhead Pass Control and Second Contact

Two players stand on opposite sides of the net behind the 3-metre line, facing each other. One starts the drill with an overhead pass to the partner. The receiving player controls the incoming ball above the head with the overhead-pass technique, holds it briefly under control and then catches it with the hands. They then send it back to the partner with an overhead pass. The drill continues back and forth in the same pattern and rhythm.

During the control the player gets under the ball early, prepares the hands above forehead height and contacts the ball only with the fingertips. The ball is never taken into the palms, body balance is maintained, and the second pass is executed in one smooth motion. The aim is to prepare the ball at the same height and control on every repetition and deliver it accurately to the partner.
