Volleyball drills

• Storage-Reception exercise
• Targeted serve to position 5-6
• Set-up to position 4, followed by attack (street) and drop ball.
• Reception players and setter move to cover and defend the ball high, centrally in the 3-meter zone.
• Best to provide spare balls to keep the pace high!

• Service at position 1
• Pass on position 5/6 to playmaker
• Playmaker returns to the sideline
• Passer passes to the playmaker.
• Set-up to the outside, attack to position 5
• After service the server goes to defend

During home practice with 3 people, change after 10 services

During regular practice continuously rotate, and play on both left and right side of the field.

• Leg swing 20x forward left and right
• Leg swing 20x sideways left and right

• Lunge with twist: Big step forward, good to the ground, and rotate trunk to left and right 20x

• Plank: 30 sec
• Side plank: both 30 sec
• 15 sit-ups both sides
• 15 push-ups
• 10 burpees

• Stomp, slowly build up to 100% and loose to sprint

Form pairs,

• Each pair has 2 tennis balls and holds the tennis balls with outstretched arms
• The other player stands opposite, with his hands above the hands of the person with the tennis ball
• The person with the tennis ball drops one of the tennis balls, while the other person tries to catch it before it hits the ground.

• Often the volleyball field is divided into six positions, you can also divide the field into nine sections of three by three meters.
• This can be of value in coaching, service and (tactical) attack.
• I let the group hold hands and then call a number below ten.
• The group must then move as quickly as possible to the appropriate section.
• Tip: After practicing this, I call out a number under ten at practice and have players point to the appropriate section on the court.

Arrangement of material:

• Cupboard with all the cones on it.

Game flow:

1. The players stand at a certain distance from the cabinet, and throw/strike at the cones.
   They try to throw off as many as possible in one go.
   

Remark:

• This can be done 1 by 1, but you can also have all the kids together knock the cones off.
• Can also be part of an exercise (reward).

Arrangement of the material:

• Cabinet with a basket on top and a large air ball in it.
• The children stand along the other side of the net.

Course of play:

1. The trainer stands at the net with a ball just on the net (height depends on the size of the player)
2. The player hits the ball out of the trainer's hand, aiming for the big air ball.

Making it easier = throwing.

Arrangement of equipment:

• The trainer stands with a large ball ready in his hands.
• The players all hold a regular volleyball.

Course of play:

1. The players throw their ball to the trainer.
2. The trainer lets the ball bounce on his big air ball.
3. The ball will bounce to different sides, the children try to catch the ball.

set up of equipment:

• Goal in the middle of the field, with someone in it
• Other players on the other side of the net.

Course of play:

1. The players throw/strike the ball towards the goal and try to score in the goal.
2. The player in the goal (blue) tries to keep the balls out of the goal.

Remark:
Set the net as low as possible.

Arrangement of equipment:

• marking discs/hats all over the field.

Course of play:

1. Players walk around the field.
   Different walking forms: skipping, knees high, feet against poo, jumping, frog-jumping,...
   
2. At the moment the trainer calls out a certain word, the players must put a hat on their head as quickly as possible.
   There is one hat less than the number of children there are.
   

Can also be done with ball; dribble (left, right, alternating), possibly with the hat on their ball.

Arrangement of material:

• Mat against a wall
• Player 1 (blue) near the mat
• Other players (red), behind a certain line (depends on players)

Game flow:

1. The players behind the line throw the ball to the mat
2. Player 1 tries to keep the ball from the mat, he can do this with various movements.
   As soon as one of the players touches the mat, they may take a marker from Player 1.
   If Player 1 has no more marker disc, he loses and another player may take it. (number to choose, for example 5)
   
   

• Players start on the three-metre line in pairs facing each other.
• One player has the ball.
• At 6 meters from the net there is a cone behind each player.
• Players do a control key and then pass the ball over the net.
• Then they run around the cone behind them.
• The same, but after passing the ball they dive to the cone and get ready again.
• Player does a control key, turns around and keys the ball backwards over the net.
• Then he does a block and returns to his home position.
• Per trio.
• Player A does the control key and plays the ball over the net.
• Player B does reception, C stands at the net and taps the ball high over, then he dives through B's legs and they switch places.
