Volleyball drills for technique attack / smash / spike / hitting
- 2 rows of attackers behind 3 metres on the outside edges, 2 x SV in the middle.
- T hits ball to SV who controls the ball for himself and then gives a set-up to position 2 + 4.
- SV keeps peripheral vision and plays extra control key if attacker leaves too early.
- Attacker hits to a line. (Excluding zone mid-back position 6)
- Make 2 teams
- T (coach) throws ball to or serves on the straight.
- Action 1:
- Player runs in and passes
- Action 2:
- Player runs in and is ready for the set-up
- Action 3:
- Player gives a pass to position 3
- Action 4:
- Set-up at position 4
- Player tries to knock a pawn off the bench by smash.
- Pawn off the bench?
- Twosome gets 1 point.
- Organisation:
- Square formation.
- 2 players in the "attack".
- 2 players defend and set up.
- Execution:
- Ball is hit diagonally to the 2 players in the back.
- From the pass the other defender gives a setup also diagonally.
- This one too is immediately attacked again on setupper, etc.
- After a few minutes functions change.
- Organisation:
- Field A.
- Playmaker on p2.
- Passer on p5.
- Attacker on p3.
- Field B.
- Trainer on p4.
- Blocking on p3 and defence on p1 and p5.
- Execution:
- Training hits on passer on p5.
- Pass, setup and attack.
- Pay attention:
- Attacker must be near the ball at the same time as the playmaker.
- It is played about 50 cm above the net.
- Attacker has no choice and must run and jump for the ball.
- On one side of the field there is a six in full formation.
- On the other side are 3 players.
- Behind the 3 players stand the servers.
- Exercise:
- Servers serve the ball, the 6 team defends this ball and plays out the rally.
- The 3-man team may defend and also rally.
- Point count:
- Service error, 1 point for the team that was set up.
- Ball on ground by the 3 team, point for the essayed team.
- Good service, but rally won by 3-player, point for 3-player.
- IF 3-TAL has 3 points three move on, if TEAM has 12 points, 3-tal and all servers must push up 5x.
- Goal:
- Technically good attacks.
- Need:
- 4/5 players, enough balls.
- 1 player stands on the distributor position (between position 2 and 3).
- 1 player stands on the other side of the net to return the ball.
- 2 or 3 attackers on outside position.
- SV plays the ball directly overhand to position 4.
- 1 attacker comes in and hits straight.
- Points of Attention:
- Getting ready:
- Attacker stands outside the sideline and behind the 3-metre line.

- Waiting for ball to come out of hands of playmaker (SV).
- Then the attacking run:
- Small step left.
- Arms forward.
- Big step right.
- Arms backwards.
- Connect left.
- Feet parallel to the net.
- Arms forward/up.
- Come out of the knees.
- Jumping.
- Stroke arm backwards (like pitcher baseball).
- Other arm pointing in direction of where you are hitting.
- ROUTINE:
- Balls are hit over the net.
- Offender gets back in line with the attackers.
- Offender other side of the net makes sure SV has enough balls.
- After a few minutes turn through until everyone has been SV.
- Getting ready:
- A-side (PL's, 1 slide, 1 libero, 1 SV)
- Service 1 to 2 passers on the other side. (simple deep service, wrong service is 3 x push-ups).
- SP to SV 2.
- PL makes block jump and moves to UGP attack.
- SV 2 set up to #4.
- PL runs on from outside to inside and attacks straight through to #1 where service 1 defends.
- B-side (1 slide, 3 x centre, 1 libero, 1 SV)
- Service 1 to 1 passer across.
- SP to SV 1.
- M / Dia makes block jump and moves to UGP attack.

- Organization:
- 3 passers including a PL and the Libero on field A.
- Playmaker on field A.
- Serve and block p2 at field B.
- Defenders on field B.
- Execution:
- Change service into pass in setup in attack on p4.
- Change after 3x attacks on p4.
- Expand:
- Add a block p3.
- Swap at 3x score.
- 1 player at the net on position 2/3
- 3 players in the backfield.
- The player at the net puts the defense to work and has the freedom to touch each ball at least once up to a maximum of three times.
- The defense makes sure that the ball reaches the player at the net in 1 or 2 times.
- All on the 3 meter line facing the net.
- If necessary divide in two halves.
- In slow motion synchronise the attacking pass. (right-handed)
- The next steps are in an arc towards the net; by doing this all at once in synchrony, they oblige each other to run in an arc:
- Left small step; take arms to the front; start of forward force
- Right big step; arms all the way back; deep in knees; accelerationof forward force
- Left foot in front of the right (close step), with the foot parallel to the net; forward force is slowed down
- Throw both arms up and push off with 2 feet up; forward force is converted into upward force
- Right arm backwards like baseball/arrow pitcher; left arm points in direction of desired ball path; strike ball and land through knees approx. 0.5m in front of the net
- Group on 5 and 6.
- 5 throws ball towards 3 and players on 6 set up from 3.
- Players on 5 attack on 4.
- 5 gets the ball and 6 passes to 5.
- Pay attention to high quality. Arms well up, straight up, high jumps.
- Ditto:
- But then from 6 and 1, attack on 2.
- Ditto:
- Fixed setter, players 6 play the ball BH to setter, players 5 attack on 4.
- Ditto:
- But then attack on 2, from 1.
- Variation diagonal/straight through.
- It is not about the attack itself but about the timing and technique.
- First of all, again a short explanation of the attacking run and pass. (if necessary mark with tape/feet)
- Trainer/playmaker gives setup after playing the ball 1 to 6 times for himself.
- Player waits with walking until the ball leaves the hands of the distributor/trainer.
- Explanation and feedback on offensive run/pass.
- Player takes ball and walks to the other side of the court to the right front position.
- Here stands another coach/player who gives a setup WITHOUT waiting.
