Pop-ups

Purpose: Develop run-thru techniques, especially staying low.

Set-up: 3 players on their bellies facing the coach from behind the end line; another player behind each ready to go. Coach at the center line in the middle of the court. A target, a feeder, and shaggers.

1. This is a fast paced drill where the coach controls the tempo by bouncing balls at the players.

2. As the player sees the ball being bounced, the player jumps up and runs to the ball, passing it to the target.

3. As soon as the ball is passed, they player must return to the original space on the floor (in the “belly position”).

4. The coach goes from player to player with a ball they must pass.

5. After each one passes a certain number of balls successfully (i.e., 10), the player becomes a shagger. The person waiting in line starts a set of 10, as a shagger waits in line.

6. The tosses should be low to the ground, forcing the players to get up, stay low and run through the ball. The faster the player is, the lower the bounce should be.

7. The fewer players passing the ball the better the conditioning work will be.
