Volleyball drills

  • 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.
  • Per person 1 hoop.
  • Running next to the hoop, take as many steps as possible with your left foot through the hoop.
  • Running next to the hoop, take as many steps as possible with your right foot through the hoop.
  • Running next to the hoop, tapping the ground with your left hand through the hoop.
  • Running next to the hoop, tapping the ground with the right hand through the hoop.
  • Overtake the hoop and let it roll between your legs.
  • Next:
    • Throw in tight in pairs (3x*) and keep the hoop moving in front of/next to you.
    • Pass over and immediately crawl through your own hoop.
    • Overplay OH and roll over the hoop.
  • Working in 2 pairs, 1 stands behind the court, the other stands on the other side with the hoop.
  • Side A serves 5 times a concentrated tight float service through the hoop held above it by the other.
  • After that change.
  • Then one more time but then the hoop is held half a meter above the ground elsewhere in the field.
  • Do move and also on position 3/4 conflict zone.
  • 2 rows of attackers behind 3 metres on the outside edges, 2 x SV in the middle.
  • T hits ball to SV who controls the ball for himself and then gives a set-up to position 2 + 4.
  • SV keeps peripheral vision and plays extra control key if attacker leaves too early.
  • Attacker hits to a line. (Excluding zone mid-back position 6)
