Volleyball drills

  • three pass to each other.
  • One person takes care of control.
  • So don't play around, but take turns passing to a lone person.
  • Groups of three players.
  • Two behind each other, at four metres another one.
  • The first one of the pair throws the ball to the player in front of him, this one does a check and then passes to the third player and so on.
  • Pass the ball every time.
  • From position 6, player throws ball to SV at 3.
  • This player SV takes turns playing left right. Catch ball and go to position 6. The thrower without ball, goes to respectively 2 and 4 to catch the ball.
  • Change SV regularly.
  • This can be done on both sides of the field
  • Variation:
    • Pos. 2 throws to pos.6 this passes seam SV this plays alternately to the left and right.

Because the balloons move more slowly and feel softer, they are ideal for practice.

First 1 child with 1 balloon:

  • Keep the balloon in the air.
  • Punch up as low as possible.
  • Hit as hard as possible.
  • Hit over the net, child underneath, and continue on the other side.
  • etc etc.


Then 2 teams with 1 balloon:

  • Basically the same tasks as with 1 child, but now they have to take turns hitting the balloon.
  • So the children have to work together and see how they can make it easier for each other.


1 balloon each:

  • Now you can also practice the service and pass.
  • The balloon is not as hard as a ball and the children have time to stand up properly before the balloon comes down again.


Dribble:

  • first good hand
  • other hand
  • in turn
  • take high
  • take low
  • walk dribble
  • go under your leg
  • Two teams.
  • Throw the ball in front of yourself with a bounce and then come under the ball and pass overhead to the other.
  • We make groups of 4.
  • We practice the line-up first with a serve ball from the trainer and then a normal/attack ball from the trainer.
  • It is important that there is a change of position, the volleyball technique itself (pass, reception, ... are important but in this exercise it is not important).
  • When the group has had both it is the next group's turn.
  • The group that just had the ball goes back into the box and stands at the window,
  • 5 times with nose against the window and then walk to the other side, by then the next group is about ready.


  • 4 in attack with playmaker.
  • Other side, 1 on reserve out of the field (right at position 1,2) and 3 in the pass and a dropout.
  • The rest with ball on position 2 at the side of the attackers.
  • These throw the ball to attacker who then pass the ball to SV and get a setup back.
  • Attacking 3 defenders who pass to the offender.
  • Reserve enters the field and the passers rotate.
  • Last passer becomes receiver and receiver goes to line with ball.
  • The field is divided lengthwise, by an aerial on the half net.
  • Players are divided on 4 places,
  • Player serves over the net and is caught by the player on the other side. This player closes the row with the ball, next to the catcher. Etc.
  • VARIATION:
    • Player doesn't catch the ball anymore, but passes straight up to herself.
  • Group is divided:
    • servers,
    • 1 SV,
    • group of passers.
  • The group of passers are 4.
  • The one who passes the ball to the distributor, can go to the other side.
  • The server goes to the group of 4,
  • the server continues as SV.
  • Group is divided in 2 halves.
  • 4 players make sure that every service is processed to the SV.
  • SV plays the 4 players outside the 3 meter area. The four players must attack, aggressively, but outside the 3 meter area.
  • VARIATION:
    • 2 groups play point forward. Both sides must play outside the 3 meter area. Also short balls are not allowed. No point in the 3 meter area.
  • 2 rows of players on one half.
  • They throw the ball to the trainer, who throws or plays overhand to the net.
  • Players walk to the net with an attacking pass and smash the ball.
  • Variation:
    • On the other side stands a player who tries to pass the ball.
