Set Induction/Instructional Procedures:

o briefly review the cues of a volleyball bump pass as well as a set

lesson.
o Bump Cues:
Flat Surface: do this by placing the back of one hand in the
palm of the other and place thumbs next to one another
Bend Knees

Stay under the ball

o Set Cues:
Arms above head
Hands in a Diamond

Quick Push
 Extend elbows/wrist

o Remember:
Dont stab at the ball with your fingers.
We do not catch the ball and then throw it, it is a quick
pushing motion.

Variation:
o Adjust warm up intensity if needed
o If students struggle with the skill, have them do the bare
minimum, if they are proficient, have them go as long as they
can without stopping.

Warm Up:
Jog 2 gym laps.
25 jumping jacks
10 push ups
10 second stretching:
o Quad
o Hamstring
o Arm across

Main Activity:
Main Activity Part 1: Assessment
o This class period is geared toward assessing the skills of the
bump and set they have learned up to this point.
They will each be given a task sheet.
Task 1 is to set the ball to themselves with the wall at least
5 consecutive times then record it on the task sheet.
Once they complete this I will bring them back in and for
Task 2 they will be partnered up and each perform 5
consecutive bump passes with their partners and record it
in the task sheet.
Main Activity Part 2: Game Play
o Allow the students to participate in a volleyball game for the
remainder of the class period. Have them focus on the correct
form of their bump and set rather than fuss over all the details
 and rules of an actual volleyball game. They can keep score but
its okay if they double hit or if it gets hit more than 3 times on
each side.
o if you are teaching this at a high school level you can incorporate
more rules
o Teams of 6-8

Cool Down
Walk 2-3 cool down laps, stretch
