Volleyball drills

  • Organization:
    • Making triplets
  • Implementation.
    • Three players enter the field.
    • Coach throws/strikes ball into backfield.
    • Three players must pass ball back to trainer.
  • Objective:
    • 1 player calls "loose" and goes for the ball, plays it only upwards.
    • 2nd player makes sure the ball goes to the 3m-line, where the 3rd player plays the ball to the trainer.
  • Option:
    • 3rd player plays the ball to the trainer, 3rd player plays the ball to the trainer, 3rd player plays the ball to the trainer, 3rd player plays the ball to the trainer.
  • Organization:
    • Players on p2 and p4.
    • Other players in 2 rows on 3m line p3.
  • Execution:
    • The first two players walk to the net and block together on p3.
    • Then they sidestep or walk to p2 or p4 and block together with the player who is already there.
    • The original player on p2 and p4 make a roll/dive and join in the other row.
drawing Preparatory exercise Blocking
  • Organization:
    • Field A:
      • Sv on p2/3, attackers on p3 and p4.
    • Field B:
      • Block on p2 and p3 and libero on p5.
  • Execution:
    • Tr throws balls at field A.
    • Sv. gives setup to p3 or p4.
    • On field B the block on p3 chooses whether to attack on p3 or on p4.
    • Block attack and possibly catch the defended ball.
  • Attention Point:
    • Block must read setupper and make a choice based on that.
    • Prevent "gambling".
drawing Blocking selection for middle block
  • Extension of previous exercise to game situation combination exercise.
  • Player a, b and c leave at the pawn
  • Player e knocks on the ball (from then on player a, b, c take position in reception) and saves.
  • Reception to player d.
  • Player d catches touches ball to pos V or pos II.
  • On foul serve, players a, b, c lie down on the ground, player g knocks on the ball (and calls ball).
  • If player g also misses, trainer throws a free ball.
drawing match situation (movement reception)
  • On both sides of the field 2 players come in.
  • There is a pass, setup and attack (from 3 meter line).
  • When side A has attacked, these two players circle off and two new ones come in.
  • Side B defends the attack by the same pass-setup-attack, these players go to the back line and two new players enter.
drawing Pass-setup attack
  • Player starts serving, straight through, on the other side a defender is passing.
  • The passer passes to the trainer.
  • After service the player runs directly to position 5, where the trainer throws a ball for passing at 2-3.
  • Fixed playmaker, gives set-up on the outside.
  • After passing, the player makes an attack.
  • 2 blockers, defense behind the block and defense at left back.


RUNNING ROUTE:

  • The attacker becomes outside blocker.
  • Outside blocker becomes inside blocker.
  • Inside blocker goes to defend behind the block.
  • Defender behind the block starts defending at left back.
  • The left back picks up the ball and connects with the servers.
drawing Defence and attack after serving
  • Trainer throws ball to passer.
  • Pass to the set-up.
  • Setup to left or right outside.
  • Attack.
  • Opposing team defends this ball and tries to make it a counter attack.


LOOPROUTE

  • After 5 successful defensive passes, 3 players move to the other side, make sure there is always a playmaker in the receiving end's box, if necessary also take into account fixed positions of other attackers.


drawing Defending attack from the outside and rallying
  • Make 3 team, per team 1 ball and 1 bench.
  • Benches at equal distance (triangle with 3 teams).
  • Teams try to score by bouncing the ball on an opponent's bench each time.
  • 1 point each time. Never the same person in a row.
  • The teammate defends the bench.
  • Which team will have 10 points first?
  • Variation:
    • No running with the ball (i.e. throwing).
  • Preparation:
    • Hang a ribbon from the net at the spot where the playmaker wants the ball in his hands.
    • The ribbon is the target for the passers.
  • Three passers stand in the backfield and one player stands at the net.
  • The passers are served continuously, and the servers MUST score.
  • (low over the net and as deep as possible; when the passers change their position, the servers have to react to that).
  • A pass is sent to the server who taps the ball through, gives a set-up or catches the ball (in case of a pass that cannot be handled).
  • The trainer intercepts the set-up; if the exercise is going well, an attacker can be added.
  • After 10 individual good passes a passer may change with a server of his choice.
  • Organization:
    • Divide group into trios.
    • All on field A and trainer on field B.
  • Implementation:
    • 1st trio enters the field for a service pass.
    • Trainer serves and the trio passes to p2/3 where one of the three catches the ball.
    • Then comes trio 2, etc.
    • Build out with setup and attack from position.
    • Still later 1 trio is defending and we play out the rally.
  • Organization:
    • Split group into trios with one hoop.
    • They stand on field A at p1.
    • Trainer with the balls on field B.
  • Execution:
    • Player hold the hoop together.
    • Trainer hits ball.
    • Trio must try to bounce the ball through the hoop.
    • Retrieve ball and hand it in to Tr.
    • Next trio.
  • In addition to ball lane recognition, they learn to work together and communicate.
  • Two sides are hit (if possible), with each attacker attacking 5 times in a row.
  • On each side are lined up:
    • 1 Distributor.
    • 1. Attacker.
    • 1. Thrower (with own ball).
    • 2. Catchers (of the batted ball).
  • Turn over after every 5th attack.
  • In a possible 2nd round a one-man block can be added.
