Volleyball drills

1. Start in the starting position with your face towards the ladder.

2. Step with your left foot into the first compartment of the step ladder and join your right foot (make sure your heels don't touch the ground).

3. Then move forward through the step ladder in the above manner.

4. Alternate the starting foot in turn.

5. Also try to do the exercise the other way around, so you start with your back to the ladder.

1. Start in the starting position facing the step ladder.
2. Jump forward with both feet at the same time. Your left foot ends up next to the first square of the ladder and your right foot ends up in the first square. You're making a ski movement.
3. Keep on jumping, your left foot now lands in the first square of the step ladder and your right foot lands next to the second square of the step ladder.
Make sure you are at full speed at the end of the ladder.


1. Start in the starting position facing the running ladder.
2. This exercise is performed with one foot only. Jump with your left foot into the first square and then hop forward diagonally with your left foot landing next to the second step of the ladder.
3. Hop to the second compartment and hop forward diagonally, landing on the right side of the third step.

4. At the end of the ladder, make sure you're at full speed, but watch your posture and land on the ball of your foot only (so the heel doesn't touch the ground).
5. Alternate the starting foot.

1. Start in the starting position with your face towards the ladder.
2. Jump with both feet into the first compartment of the ladder and immediately jump forward where your feet land next to the second step of the ladder.
3. You sprint to the second step of the ladder and jump forward but now land on the right side of the step. So you make a zigzag movement.
Make sure you're at full speed at the end of the ladder.

4. Place your right foot next to the first box on the step ladder next to your left foot.
5. Step with your left foot into the second box of the step ladder and now step with your right foot behind your left foot and then place your left foot again next to the right foot.
6. Follow these steps for the whole ladder.


1. Start in the starting position, facing the ladder.
2. Step with your left foot into the first compartment of the step ladder and join your right foot in the first compartment of the step ladder.
3. As soon as your right foot is in the first compartment of the ladder move your left foot next to the first compartment of the ladder.
4. Jump with your right foot straight forward so that it ends up in the second compartment of the step ladder and join your left foot.

You can play this game with any 4 exercises you can think of.

1. Make two pairs who will do the exercises together.
2. Each pair gets a note with 4 boxes where they can put a code with the numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4.
3. the trainer makes a code, this can be 4 different digits (4231) or with repeated digits (2233)
4. the players have to do the 4 exercises in order of the code they wrote down. When they have done all 4 exercises they have to check the code with the trainer. The trainer notes how many are right and how many are wrong.
5. the players write down the next code, and again they have to do 4 exercises that fit with the code they wrote down.

For example

• Exercise 1: sprint back and forth 5 times between 9m
• Exercise 2; block left, shuffle, block middle, shuffle, block right with pairs facing each other and two times back and forth
• Exercise 3: bench, 20x on and off the bench with 2 feet
• Exercise 4: 10x sit-up | 10x left / 10 x right
• The first pair to crack the code wins.

3 players in front of the net in positions 2-3-4.

The trainer hits the ball and the players have to decide if they want to block the ball and if so where.

• the ball should be blocked and if so where. So the midfielder moves to the relevant side and the non-blocking front player moves back.
• The ball comes up high and must therefore be defended. The players all move backwards except the sv

Extend this by including the 3 players at the back.

• In a field of nine squares the aim is to make 3 in a row (butter, cheese and eggs).
• Two teams have a pair of 2 players ready.
• One runs to a square to occupy it, the other dribbles through the pawns and plays the ball to the square.
• Only when the ball is received in the box it may remain there.
• When both players of the team have run back, the next two may play.

• 1 person at the net, a back defender, a catcher and someone at the other side of the net.
• The person at the other end of the net throws the ball, just over the block before the three meter line.
• The defender comes from behind and stands on his good starting position. There he has to play the ball to the catcher.

After each attack, rotate through one (1) position.

Rules of the game

• as much as possible in threes (in twos or ones is not wrong)
• only overhand or underarm (no smash)
• serve on the side where the ball goes wrong
