This exercise is fun to do and gives a lot of fun and competition! Relays in general already create competition.

What this exercise also wants to mimic is the stress factor that a serve brings.


The players are divided into equal teams and lined up on the serving area of the same court. The first player of a team serves and retrieves his ball. After the next player is tapped, this one serves, and so on.


It is important for a player to serve quickly, but it must also be flawless, otherwise the ball must be retrieved and served again!


If the teams are small, it is fun to let everyone serve two or three times.


Necessary:

  • A minimum of 6 players
  • As many balls as there are teams

  • The trainer stands on a box at the other side of the net, and the players must try to block the ball one by one.
  • Step 1 is to explain when and why we block.
  • Round 1:
    • The trainer stands on the SV spot and the lln stand in a row in the middle. The ball is thrown to the trainer and the ball must be played to the trainer.
  • Round 2:
    • The trainer stands on the SV spot and the children stand in line in the middle. The ball is thrown to the trainer and the ball must be played to the trainer. The trainer gives a set-up and the ball is hit by the attacker outside. Good pass is to move to the attack. Bad pass is joining the back of the line after the ball is passed.
  • Round 3:
    • The trainer stands at the other side of the net, throws the ball to the attacker. Pass, set-up and attack. Good pass, set-up, bad pass is staying in the back of the line.
  • Round 4:
    • The trainer stands at the other side of the net, throws the ball on. Pass, set-up and attack. Good, move through, stay on the wrong side and the pass connects at the back. Only now the SV can choose left or right set-up. The one who attacked must then fetch the ball and close behind.
  • Getting the body and muscles ready for the work to be done.
  • For all the muscles, joints and body parts we need to play volleyball.
  • And of course physically and mentally


  • The trainer throws the ball from one side of the net onto the net edge.
  • From the other side of the net, the player must try to play the ball overhand into the hoop.
  • Catch up!
