Volleyball drills

• Server hits the ball and serves.
• From the side and back three defenders quickly enter the field, one passes to the SV at the 2 position.
• He gives a three-metre pass to one of the defenders who did not pass.
• Passers swap with the reserves.
• After x times swap roles.
• Option:L the server defends the three-meter ball.

This is always fun to do, especially the smaller kids like it.

• You have a monkey= This person is appointed by the trainer. This person must try to steal the coconut without getting caught.
• You have a coconut= This is basically just the volleyball, or another ball.
• You have a monkey hunter= This person is also assigned by the trainer, but the monkey hunter is ''undercover'', so he is just a palm tree but if the monkey has the ball in his hand, he may tap the monkey.
• And finally you have the Palm Trees= These are all the other players who are not the monkey or the monkey hunter.

You put all the players in a circle on one side of the field, in the middle of this circle you put the ''coconut''.

The trainer chooses the monkey in the presence of the whole team. The monkey then moves towards a wall or stands somewhere with its eyes and ears closed, facing the other way so it cannot see the team. You then say "The monkey hunter is....." (you point out the child, do not say the name of the child). If everyone knows who the monkey hunter is you say that the monkey can come back. The space between the palm trees where the monkey goes in the beginning, he must go back again.

For example, if the monkey goes between John and Peter in the direction of the coconut, it cannot go back between Hans and John.

If the monkey takes the coconut outside the circle without being tapped, the monkey wins.

If the monkey is tapped before it leaves the circle with the coconut, the monkey hunter has won.

• The blue balls are the "palm trees" players.
• The red dot is the ''monkey hunter''. The monkey does not know who the monkey hunter is. The monkey hunter is trying to tap the monkey.
• The white ball is the ''monkey''. He is trying to get the coconut without being tapped.
• The yellow ball is the coconut.

• 2 against 2 with fixed passeur on smaller field (not half)

• B plays at C
• C sets up and B plays over the net
• Run after own ball

Stand opposite each other in pairs:

• 1 person has 2 tennis balls, the other 2 volleyballs.
• The person with the volleyballs throws one ball high to the other person, to 1 of his 2 hands.
•  That person has to throw the tennis ball in that hand low back to the other person
• Always the same person who performs the first action

Stand opposite to each other in pairs:

• 1 person has a tennis ball, the other a volleyball
• Volleyball is replayed in 2 contact, high or low
• The tennis ball is then replayed in 1 contact, low if the volleyball comes high, high if the volleyball comes low

Per 2 opposite each other:

• Variation on previous exercise
• If the volleyball is played high, it must be replayed directly in 1 contact (tennis ball is played low at the same time).
•  If the volleyball is played low, it will be replayed in 2 contacts

Per 2 opposite each other:

• Play ball as long as possible towards each other with only the arms.

• Practice defensive techniques.
• Improve technical attack techniques.
• Practice with drop balls.
• 1 side with block.

• The attacker puts a block.
• The thrower hits over this.
• The libero or passer passes the ball to the server.
• The server passes the ball to the attacker who just blocked.
• The thrower puts a block and the attacker hits straight through to the defender, who defends for himself.
• Passing: passer becomes attacker -> attacker becomes backup defender -> defender becomes backup thrower -> thrower becomes backup passer.

• 2 servers
• 1 passer
• 1 catcher
  
  
• Thick mat obstructs passer's view, requiring passer to focus on ball trajectory.
• Passer passes to catcher who rolls on to serveers.
• Roll through after 10 balls
