Volleyball drills

Multi-directional exercise:

• Trainer starts, plays ball to passers, libero, left back, right back. 2/3 players
• Good pass to regular SV. 1 player
• Row of strikers, attack pass and smash 2/3 players
• Try to defend the rest of the balls, and put them in the ball bin.
• After 5 minutes turn over, also other SV (player 1, 2 and 3)

Variation:

• Other side of the field, players block and libero defends block.

• Ladder exercise
• Slalom
• Sideways movement back and forth between 2 cones (low pass stance)
• Bench: rv up - lv up - rv down - lv down (can be stepping or jumping)
• Throw ball against wall (lying on stomach) with elbows off the mat
• Jumping back and forth over the rope (2 feet together) -> small jumps -> fast
• Hurdles: lowest position and jump over them with 2 feet
• Bench: lie on your belly and pull yourself forward with your arms
• Jumping rope
• Stomach exercises: with stretched legs and feet over a big pawn each time
• Swinging jump over a bench
• Ladder exercise
• Pass the ball through the basket
• In each hand a tennis ball - arms sideways (90 degrees with body) and then squeeze the tennis ball
• Planks

• Hang up the net at about 1,50 m.
• Work with 4 players, 2 on each side of the net.
• Player smashes the ball down, pass to player at the net

• 2 rows of players
  • 1 row on the left back
  • 1 row on the right back
• 1 SV
• create with 3 pawns a virtual line where they should stand
• Player stands at the other side of the net and throws the ball somewhere in the field.
• 1 of the 2 front rows calls LOS orI (agree on this) and plays the ball to SV
• This one calls new SV
• SV takes ball and puts ball in ball pit
• SV joins one of the rows

• Extension 1:
  • Setter plays ball back briefly to player who did not pass, pass back to setter
  • Setter hits ball (calmly) to player who did not pass

Two rows on the 3m line, edge of the field.

• Pass the ball in a zigzag and follow through.
• Overhand pass
• 1 player overhead, 1 player underhand
• In the lower hands 1x for yourself, pass in the upper hands
• Mandatory 1x for yourself, controlled pass

• Trainer throws the ball to the midfielder
• He passes to SV
• SV gives setup
• Striker plays the ball SLIMLY overthe net
  • so just over the net
  • Or in the back of the field in the corners
• Attacker hates the ball and puts it with trainer (in the box)
• Everybody turns 1 spot (runs after their own ball)
• If necessary put hoops (= opponents) where they do not have to play.
• Give instructions all the time
  • 

Blocker must look at the attacker

- C gives setup over the net to attacker 1 
- Blocker 2 should look at the attacker when he has to block.
- 3 , 4 and 5 defend
- 1 gets his own ball and 6 is the next attacker.
- after 5 changes

Variation: 2 block

Batting with a fixed distributor, we pay attention to our run-up.

The attackers get the assignment to score directly with their attack. The defence of course gets the assignment to prevent this.

The game is played with a fixed distributor. A number of attackers stand at one side of the playing field with a ball. They play the ball to the distributor, who gives a setup for the attacker to attack.

If the attacker scores, he goes back to the back of the line of attackers (as a reward). If the attacker does not score, he must defend. For that purpose, the following sequence is used: Attacker - A - B - C - D - Attacker.

At the defense A is the blocker.

Discuss clearly in advance what immediate scoring means: ball on the ground or also if there is no playable defense.

Required:

• fixed playmaker s
• row of attackers with ball plays ball to sv
• Set-up to attacker 1
• If attack scores, to the back of the row of attackers.
• Otherwise attacker 1 to A - B - C- D- attacker
• In defence: A = blocker, BCD= at the back

In this exercise, the attackers are instructed to score directly with their attack. The defence of course gets the assignment to prevent this.

• fixed playmaker s
• row of attackers with ball plays ball to sv
• Set-up to attacker 1
• If attack scores, to the back of the row of attackers.
• Otherwise attacker 1 to A - B - C- D- attacker
• In defence: A = blocker, BCD= at the back

The purpose of the exercise is twofold: the defender must learn to 'read' where the attacker is going to hit and the attacker must look where the defence is before hitting.

We work with two regular playmakers, on both sides of the field a row of attackers on the left-for position. And two defenders, who may choose where they position themselves on the field. A defender has to defend the attack 10 times, preferably a nice pass, but touching is enough. If the attacker hits the net or leaves the field, that also counts. And the attackers may only smash, no prick balls! After the attack, the attacker retrieves the ball and joins the other row. The attacker who defends the ball at the 10th time takes the place of the defender. The defender will then of course attack.

Necessary:

• 8 - 10 players
• enough balls

If there are less players, the exercise can also be done, but then on one side. The attacker retrieves the ball and joins the same line.

The blocker joins in, indicates where he is going to block and the mid-back goes to his place.

• It is only allowed to play overhand
• Before the ball goes over the net each player must have hit the ball once (so in total the ball is played 3 times).
• A goal can only be scored inside the 3-meter line. If the ball falls outside the field, or behind the 3-meter line, it is a point for the opponent.
• 
  

Nice exercise to learn to place the ball overhead within the 3-meter range and to play your teammates with precision overhead.

The one who makes a mistake is replaced by the reserve.

Three players line up to pass (numbers 3, 4 and 5). Player 2 stands ready at the side of the same court. The other players are ready with ball to serve on the other side.

• Player 1 serves the ball (and then runs straight to where player 2 is already standing).
• A player passes the ball to the server on position 2/3. The server gives a setup. And the third player plays the ball over the net.
• When the ball is over the net, the players turn: 2 enters the field (where 3 stood before) 3 goes to mid-back, 4 goes to the spot of 5 and 5 goes the serving spot of the other half.
• Then the next player can serve, on the drawing this is player 8. Etc.
