Volleyball drills

Divide the players into 2 teams. Each team stands on one side of the net.

• On each side of the net there are a number of balls (depending on the size of the group you can add or subtract balls).
• The idea is that the players, once the starting signal is given, throw as many balls as possible to the other side.
• The team that has the most balls on its side of the net at the end of the game has lost.
• Each player may only play one ball at a time to the other side!

Variations for playing over/under the net:

• Roll with 2 arms
• Roll with 1 arm
• Overhead throw with 2 arms
• Overhead throw with stroke arm
• Overhand throw with non batting arm
• Bounce with 2 arms in front of the net so that the ball flies over the net after the bounce
• Bounce under the net (2 arms, later 1 arm, batting arm)

• 5 balls per player: place 4 balls in a diamond with 1 ball in the middle of the diamond.
• Players start behind their diamond and walk to the front,
• there they tap the middle ball,
• Then they move sideways (left or right) and tap the ball away.
• Move back to the middle of the diamond and then move sideways to the other side + tap the ball away.
• Then walk to the front, tap the ball away, back to the middle, backwards and tap the ball away.
• And finally tap the ball away in the middle.

• one ball in pairs.
• hold the ball up high
• then move sideways over the sidelines along the net or around the field.

Exercise with several links, so it is important that each link seriously participates.

• From position 2 a player throws the ball to the player at position 6.
• This player passes the ball to SV at position 3.
• SV plays the ball to 4.
• Here a player catches the ball, and connects with position 2 (outside off).
• Every player changes position 1.
• Variation:
  • Instead of passing underhand, pass overhead.
  • Instead of overhand, smash.

PART 2:

• Instead of catching, the player in position 4 smashes the ball. Note: at the net, step back, attack pass and smash.

• 6 players play a full attack.
• Points of attention: how do you stand at the service of the opponent. (Classic/switch).
• line up players.
• go over the lines. Also play without the ball.
• After every second service, change players.

• 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.
