Volleyball drill: prison

Goal of the exercise:

• Defending everything and getting the ball high inside the three-meter line

Explanation of the exercise:

• This is a nice defensive drill to get into after the warm-up.
• The trainer stands inside the 3-metre line.
• There is a line of players at the back line.
• The trainer throws, pokes or hits balls in all directions.
• The person in front of the row has to defend the ball, in such a way that the ball ends up as close to the trainer as possible within the 3-metre line.
• If this doesn't happen, that person goes to jail at the ball pit.
• But if the person behind the one with the bad defending ball, manages to get the volleyball right to you as trainer, the first one is bought free and does not have to go to prison.
• When people are in prison, they may only re-enter the field when the others have defended the ball twice without errors within the 3-metre line.
• The players will help each other, even if one player makes a mistake that could be made better by another.
  • Tip: when using a high ball pit, the trainer will have the balls on the grip quicker.
