Volleyball drills

3 players along each side in the field and the reserves outside the field along each side.

  • Ball is played in by player of winning team: every person along one side of the net must have touched the ball. The ball must be played behind the 3 meter line.
  • Team that makes a mistake runs to the other side, taps the wall and then looks to see where there is room to slide in.


Possible variations:

  • Ball must be passed OH/ BH.
  • Must be behind the 3-metre line.
  • Must be passed over.
  • Must be passed from 6.

1 side of the field: 1 player on 2, 1 player on 4 on the 3 meter line (possible reserves)

Other side of the field: 1 player on 2 and on 4 at the net, 1 player on 5 and on 1 (possible reserves)

  • Throwing over Players on the 3 meter line on 2/4 are going to throw over the ball in overhand technique to 1 and 5. These players will catch the OH and bring it to 2/4 at the net. After-action: Blocking at the net + diving off after having passed the ball.
  • Passing: To 1/5, still bring ball to 2/4. 2/4 at the net go and catch the ball BH in correct technique. After-action: Blocking at the net+ diving off after a hit.


1 person in the middle on the other side of the net:

  • Ball is skipped/thrown to 1/5 (make clear choice), 1/5 play ball to center of field(3) 1 meter from net.
  • This person is going to play the ball to the one who has not taken a reception. When 1 has taken reception, 5 comes to the net in front and is going to hit this ball to 1. 1 brings this reception back to 3.
  • 3 turns to other side by RS stays standing, attacker becomes 3, reserve comes in.
  • After-action: block + tap wall
  • We play with 3 players on one field
  • After passing the ball the player blocks and walks backwards through the ladder to connect with the other players
  • on either side of the net.
    • Players play a game in which the ball must be played over the net in one go.
    • After playing the ball, walk forwards to the net and make a block
    • If you get the ball on the ground near the opponent's sideline (trainers referee if it is close enough) the opponent must run around the opponent's field.
    • You can only score behind the 3 meter line/ against the sideline/backline
