Volleyball drills

  • Freeball pass to the libero who plays high for attack +/- 4m from the net
  • If practice goes well, play the ball from further +/- 6m with technical attack
  • If too long silent and waiting = switch on blocker with active participation
drawing Free inspelen pos 4 to Libero
  • Side one saves, defend on other side and try to score point against blockers with outs.
  • Other 2 who do not have to save, can come in to defend in backfield.
  • Have passers alternate as 'chameleons'.
drawing Storage - defense with fixed pass door
  • Everyone has a ball.
  • You throw the ball up in front of yourself as high as possible with 1 hand.
  • Then you hit the ball over the net.
  • Pay attention to your technique: arm outstretched, pick up the ball at the highest point, keep stepping with your foot.
  • Throw the ball lower and lower until it is nice for you to hit.
  • Now throw the ball up again as high as possible with one hand but slightly forward, so that you can hit the ball from a jump.
  • Again you are going to throw lower and lower but you keep making sure you can jump.
  • Trainers throw high to the aerial and you have to attack it with a jump!
drawing Attacks on timing
  • 2 people on a chair one with 2 tennis balls.
    • other side of net must take blocks and tennis balls and pass to other person on chair -block-.
    • 10x each
  • One press on chair attacking each time, across net blocks and then dive at 3 meter line. Another "supplies" balls for person on chair. each 10x.
  • Same as exercise 2. Now comes only a 2nd tip at about 5 to 6 meters. Defending facing the net!
drawing Block exercise intensive
  • 3 attackers
  • 2 passers
  • 1 backup passer
  • 1 playmaker
  1. Trainer hits balls to the passers, after your pass you take the place of the attacker who attacked.
  2. Except on middle. The middle attacker stays in position and only changes with another middle.
  3. High tempo so change positions quickly.
