Question:
Do you have a good team defense drill?
Talk Loud Drill
Although it's not emphasized in many of the manuals, talking is one of the most important skills in volleyball. Here's a drill to encourage talking:
Have your coach toss a ball into play. From the very moment the ball crosses the net, someone needs to call out what's going on. It shouldn't be one particular person. Everyone needs to learn to talk. What should they say? There's something that could be said on every hit on every play. "Out," "In," "Mine," "2 Up," "I'm here," the list is endless.
If no one talks, the team runs sprints, laps or whatever has been decided upon before the drill begins.

Setter Dig Drill
Here's a drill designed to remind setters that they must be a defensive player first, a setter 2nd.
Six players on each side. Coach tosses the ball to the side opposite your setter, free ball style. They run a play, setting the ball to either outside hitter. If the set goes to LF, they should hit or tip line. If it's set to RF, they should hit angle.
The idea is to hit or tip at the setter, in RB. The setter needs to be in proper position in order to pick up the ball. Then, the rest of the team must adjust, since the setter has taken the first ball.
It's a good drill to get your setter to play defense, instead of cheating up. It's also good for the rest of the team, which needs to be able to react when the setter is out of the play. It's even good for the hitting team, because they need to be thinking about where they want to place the ball.

Tougher, Smarter Backrow Players
Here's a good drill I picked up from Victor Lindal, former coach of the Canadian National Team:
It involves playing a game, but only using 5 players, and no center fronts. Have your outside blockers block only as they would if there were a CF, don't try to cover the hole created by the lack of a second blocker.
The purpose of this game is to help backrow players learn to read hitters' eyes, body language, approach, and armswing, as well as reading the sets themselves.
Having no CF allows plenty of 1-on-1 hits, making the backrow have to read that much better in order to pop hits back up.
It's helped our defense immensely, and I'd recommend this drill to anyone wanting to develop tougher, smarter backrow players.
