Aerial Heading Drill

Servers deliver floated lofted serves into the air; working players must communicate, time their run, jump off the ground, and attack the ball at the apex of their vertical leap before moving across the grid to repeat.

Key points

  • Communicate clearly with partners before attacking each aerial delivery
  • Time the jump to meet the ball at the highest possible point rather than letting it fall onto the head
  • Coordinate an explosive takeoff while keeping eyes fixed on the ball

Common mistakes

Jumping too early or too late, or waiting flat-footed and letting the ball drop onto the head.
