Volleyball drills

  • Make up pairs.
  • Stand opposite each other, not too far apart.
  • Pass the ball overhead to each other.
  • While continuing to pass to each other, increase the distance between them by taking a step backwards.
  • Continue to pass the ball to each other at the correct distance
  • When you have reached a large distance, reduce the distance again

Points can be earned in pairs. One side hits the ball and the other side tries to put a hoop where the ball lands. The first to get 5 points. Then swap

  • 2 rows of players
    • 1 row on the left back
    • 1 row at the right back
  • create with 4 pawns a virtual line where they have to stand behind
  • trainer stands at the other side of the net and throws the ball somewhere in the field.
  • 1 of the 2 front rows calls LOS orIK (agree on)
  • This player passes the ball into the basket.
  • bring own ball to the trainer.
  • shout-1
  • 3 times back and forth in a runner's stride
  • 3x back and forth in runner's stride with arms waving
  • 2x back and forth in side steps
  • 2x back and forth in cross stride
  • 1x back and forth heel strike
  • 1x back and forth lifting of knees

Cycle of core stability exercises. Plank, side plank, superman, standing superman.

To prepare the body and muscles for the work that needs to be done, for all the muscles, joints and body parts we need to play volleyball, physically and mentally.

Play fanatically




Assume 2 teams

Person 1 throws the ball over the net (width of the field) person 2 catches the ball, person 1 moves 2 steps sideways.

Person 2 throws in the ball and person 1 catches the ball. Person 2 now moves 4 steps, etc.

Variations: throw the ball on to the 3 meter line, throw the ball on to the 7 meter line and walk back to the 3 meter line, pass the ball on to the other person and the other person passes on the ball to him/herself and catches it.

with this exercise the players learn to play 'smart'. just over the net or in the back corners

  • Passers on position 5 and 6
  • Attacker on the left front side
  • sv at position 2-3
  • Trainer throws ball to passers
  • Passer gives pass to SV at position 2/3
  • SV passes ball BH to left front player
  • There is a two man block
  • Catcher on the opposite side
  • on the other field there are 5 hoops
    • 1 in all corners of the field and 1 in the middle of the field
  • player runs in and tries to play ball into the hoop
  • if successful, SV and playerhave apoint.
  • If the ball is blocked, the blockers have a point.
  • After 10 attacks change


After 10 minutes we make it more difficult:

A block is added, the outside player closes the block diagonally (left hand at attacker's arm).

The blocker also gets points (touching the ball = 1, killing block = 2).

Assessing ball trajectory, shuffling, standing still, shoulders well and passing well.

  • 3 players stand at the net/3 meter line.
  • 1 catcher
  • Trainer hits ball
  • players shuffle backwards and pass to 2/3
  • Catcher catches ball and puts it in the box.
  • passer to receiver
  • empty spot is filled
  • Row 1 players ready to play ball
  • Row 2 players behind trainer with ball
    • Front pushes trainer ball in hand and joins row 1
  • Trainer throws the ball into the field and player from row 1:
    • Runs towards the ball, lets it bounce 1x, 1x OH and then catches it
    • Runs to the ball, lets it bounce 1x, 1x BH and then catch
    • Runs to the ball, let it bounce 1x, 1x OH, 1x BH and then catch
    • Runs to the ball, does not bounce, and touches it anyway : diving
  • Connect with ball in the back of line 2
  • High tempo and adapt to the player.

Variation 1: OH back line (in 1x)

Variation 2: BH back line (in 1x)

Variation 3: in threes
