Volleyball drills
- Coach stands in the middle by the net.
- Line of three players stand behind the back line.
- Trainer throws balls alternately to the right and then to the left.
- Players start walking in circles because they are in threes.
- Players who are not in line are collecting balls.
- 1 server, on the other side of the field 3 passers, with behind them again 3 passers who are ready.
- The server taps the ball, the passers run to the middle line, run backwards and the server serves.
- Play 3 times, everyone on the field.
- Change positions.
- Then with back to server, taps the ball, passers run into the field after which the server serves.
- Organization:
- Divide 2 quads on both fields.
- Players stand on 3m-line.
- The first player on field A has a ball.
- Implementation:
- Player on field A with the ball throws it with 2 hands from the neck over the net, runs under the net over the backline and joins behind it.
- The first player on field B catches the ball and throws it back and runs under the net as well.
- Regularly change the way of throwing: with: right hand, with left hand and throws from chest height.
- After 2 or 3 minutes let the bra play. Now it is no longer necessary to walk over the back line.
- After 2 minutes, make a block jump before passing under the net.
- Then after the block jump, move sideways and make another block jump.
- Attention point:
- The rally must be kept going.
- In case BH cannot be played, OH may be played.
- Code warm-up game.
- You make 2 or 3 groups.
- You come up with a code of about 8 numbers. {depending on the condition of the team}
- Say my code is 11325543.
- 1- 2 x run to the net and back.
- 2- 5x abs.
- 3- 5 times blocking.
- 4- 2 x dive.
- 5- 20 seconds in sitting position against the wall.
- The pair tries to decipher the code.
- They do 1 of the 5 exercises, then come to the trainer to see if the number is correct.
- If yes:
- May they try to guess the next one.
- If no:
- They have to choose another number to guess the code.
- Who deciphers the code first, wins.
- Playmaker at the net.
- Two middle attackers, two outside and two diagonal.
- Other players line up to pass.
- Trainer puts ball in play from the other side of the net.
- Passer passes, playmaker chooses attacker and an attack is made.
- After the attack players get the ball and join the passers.
- After passing attack on your own position (or an empty position).
- Trainer throws-serves ball to passer.
- A passes ball to midfield position.
- B stands at the basket and catches the ball and brings it to the trainer and then joins the back of the line.
- A becomes B.
- Organization:
- Divide the group over the 2 fields.
- 2 players on pos 2 with 1 ball, 1 on 4, 1 on 5 and 1 on 1
- Execution:
- Ball is played from p2 BH to 4.
- On p4 the ball is hit technically to p1.
- The latter defends the ball at 3m p3 and at that moment the player on p5 comes and plays the ball Bh to p2.
- And it starts all over again.
- Walk:
- P2 to p4.
- P4 to p5.
- P5 to p1.
- P1 to p2.
- There is one passer in the field at position [6].
- The trainer or a playmaker stands with the balls at the net at position [3].
- The ball is introduced by hitting or pricking and there is a variation in short/long and hard/soft.
- The passer keeps the ball from the ground (prio 1) and provides the pass to [2/3] (prio 2) where the ball is caught by a team mate.
- This exercise can be played in two variants.
- A. [suitable for large teams]
- After the pass, a new player is rotated into the field and the passer joins the back of the line.
- High tempo!
- The team can be split in two, so that one team always picks up the balls from the other team.
- B. [suitable for small teams]
- The passer remains standing.
- He quickly takes up his position again after the pass and processes a new ball (10 in total).
- The other players spread out to collect the balls.
- After 10 passes the passer takes off and the ball is passed.
- High tempo!
- Explanation:
- 2 teams of 3 players
- Per team 3 volleyballs (different balls so you can tell the difference, 2 'baby' and 1 'normal' ball)
- The team must play the 'normal' ball over the net in 3 times and meanwhile the 'babies' are thrown over.
- Each player may only touch the 'normal' ball once!
- (When a player has played the 'regular' ball, he gets a 'baby' thrown to him)
- Starting positions:
- Mid-back has no ball. Mid-back has no ball (he passes the ball to the distributor).
- Distributor gives a set-up on the outside.
- 3rd player plays the ball over the net. (At first do not attack, only if it goes well!)
- The goal is to play the ball in threes. This requires the commitment of every player.
- So line up three players.
- They solve a thrown ball (by the trainer), by playing in threes.
- The first ball is passed to the upper-position.
- The 2nd player, who has the job of upper-player, runs to the upper-place.
- The 3rd player then prepares for the attack.
- At first keep the ball on one side of the net, by not actually hitting the 3rd ball, but catching it.
- Then 3 other players move in to do the same.
- On the other side of the net, the same is practiced with the other half of the team.
- After a while, when the ball is regularly played in threes, the ball is actually played to the other side.
- The team on the other side then plays the ball back in threes.
- And so on; play over as long as possible.
- No scoring, it's about playing in threes.
- Organisation: Make three teams with one ball.
- Execution:
- 2 players stand opposite each other at approx. 5m.
- The third player is "distributor" and stands to the right of the passer.
- Player 1 plays brace to 2nd player and he passes the ball to the right, where the Sv is standing.
- This gives player 2 a setup, which is attacked on player 1.
- Meanwhile, Sv runs to the right side of player 1 to receive the pass there.
- This exercise is about the movement of the middle block and cooperation with the outside blocker.
- The ball is introduced through service or throw in (by the trainer or team-mate).
- Service is towards the passer.
- Passer brings the ball to the distributor.
- The distributor sets up the attack.
- After 10 attacks the game is continued.
- Players prefer to play on their own position.
- Important for the exercise:
- The playmaker communicates with his attackers about the desired attacking position and speed (especially the alternation between rise and short of the middle attacker).
- Mid block jumps with a rising attack (not full).
- If the ball goes outside, he lands on his left foot and moves outside to set up a two-man block (connecting).
- If the ball is played over middle, the outside blocker steps out to make a pass if the ball falls short or is hit.
