ball track = letters of the alphabet

reception-pass-attack

ribbon-pass-2--1

  • Spread over 3m line.
    • Pass the ball in a zigzag and follow through. See picture
  • Later play underhand, only overhand.
    • One side of the net underhand, other side overhand.

  • all the children walk in a line behind each other,
  • the last one runs slalom between the people until he is the first.
  • Besides technique, communication is also important in volleyball.
  • And both aspects also apply to this exercise.
  • And reacting adequately to situations which go differently than normal.
  • In such an exercise you can see very well how different players are.

service-and-defense-3

  • Three players line up to pass (numbers 3, 4 and 5)
  • Player 2 stands ready at the side of the same field of play. The other players stand ready with ball to serve on the other side.


  • Player 1 serves the ball (and then immediately walks to where player 2 is already standing).
  • A player passes the ball. Another player gives a setup. And the third player plays the ball over the net. All three players must play the ball, either a pass, or a setup, or an attack.
  • Once the ball is over the net, the players turn: 2 goes into the court (where 3 was first) 3 goes to mid-back, 4 goes to the spot of 5 and 5 goes the serving spot of the other half.
  • Then the next player can serve, on the drawing this is player 8. Etc.

Necessary:

  • 4 balls
  • 7-8 players

per 2

  • A stands at the net B between the 2 cones,
  • A tips the ball towards the first cone, B moves sideways and defends back to A.
  • A then tips the ball to the other cone etc.
  • abs:
    • sit up
    • oblique sit up
  • back muscles:
    • lift left leg and right arm
    • hands under the chin
  • arm muscles:
    • spin around, pump
  • leg muscles:
    • sqaud, lunges
  • The players are evenly matched on one side of the pitch.
  • e.g. 4-4 they play in 3 contacts every time someone has played a ball that person runs to the back line and taps it and comes back so you play all the time
  • you can play this all over the field, inside the 3 meter line or outside the 3 meter line
  • Ladder walking at high speed. Can be extended with left-right stepping out of the ladder with one or two feet.
  • Slalom around the pawns.
  • Attack pass to the net and shuffle backwards (3x attack pass and 2x shuffle).
  • Step under the net.
  • Sideways past the net with head under net edge.
  • Make a dive across the field.
  • Walk around the pawn and sprint over the backline.
  • Run back to starting position.

course-8

  • Teams stand on both sides of the net.
  • Explain three plays --> pass/set-up, catch throw, pass/set-up over the net.
  • Play overhand from the backline. After three serves of one player, the team rotates one spot.
  • They don't have to leave the field after a 'mistake'. For every ball that falls on the ground the opponent gets a point.
  • With this exercise the players learn how to play 'smart'. just over the net or in the back corners.
  • The field is divided into two halves. On both halves there is a row of players.
  • On the other side of the net are hoops, on the places where normally no players stand.
  • The players throw the ball in front of themselves and play the ball overhand into the hoops. For every bale in the hoop they get one point, the team with the most points has won. (addition: the trainer plays the ball and the players play into the hoops).
  • Players face each other at the net
  • They take turns to play a technical attack over the net.
  • Each time, they take a step backwards until the technical attack evolves into a serve.
  • If the ball goes awry : start again from the beginning.
