Volleyball drills for technique attack / smash / spike / hitting

• A serves to B.
• B passes the ball to the playmaker, who then plays a high ball into the backfield.
• B defends this ball back to the playmaker, who then gives a setup for A.
• A attacks on this setup.
• 
  

After the attack, A takes B's place and B becomes a reserve. The playmaker stays.

The outfield attackers use the left half of the court with one playmaker. The middle attackers and diagonal attackers use the right half with another playmaker.

Extension:

• After the service, A takes a second ball.
• After B's attack A throws this ball into the field.
• B plays this ball to the playmaker, the playmaker gives a setup.
• B attacks again.

• Attacking from outside on two pitches.
• Players pay attention to their run-up and both arms.
• After that attack the middle of two fields.
• Then 3 players in field B defend and 3 players in field A attack.
• Coach throws ball to trio in field A.
• Pass, set up, attack.
• If trio in field B defends or hits the ball well, we switch.
• Players in field A go to field B and new trio goes on reserve attack.
• Otherwise the defense stays.

Trainer throws ball to defender, there are 3 rows of attackers at position 2, 3 and 4 ready. SV chooses a striker. Attackers pay attention to their run-up and arms.

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.

• Player A throws ball over the net.
• Player B or C passes ball to other player
• The other player quickly runs to the net and sets up the ball for the same player who passed.
• This player tries to get a pawn off the bench with overhand play or a hitting move.
• Change after 5 balls

Which pair or team has knocked off/handled the most pawns after X number of minutes?

• Player A throws ball over the net.
• Player B or C passes the ball over the net.
• The other player quickly runs under the net and sets up the ball for the same player who passed.
• This player tries to get a pawn off the bench with overhand play or a hitting move.

Which pair or team has knocked the most pawns off the bench after X number of minutes?

- 1 defender starts behind the back line
- C plays high ball in the field
- 1 comes in and plays overhead to S
- S sets up backwards to 4
- attack straight ahead, attacker gets the ball
- 1 becomes attacker and 2 defender

SETS UP THE BASKET (BLOCK IDEA)

3 gives setup on 1 and 1 attacks on 2. 2 defends to 3, 3 gives setup on 2 and 2 attacks on 1, 1 defends on 3 and it starts all over again.

• Player A throws/strikes the ball towards player C.
• Player C passes the ball to player B.
• Player B sets up the ball.
• Player C attacks.

Goal: try to attack/play 3rd ball on the mats (straight or diagonal).

After each ball move one place in your own group.

Extension: When there are enough players one could also choose to place a block.

First, a quick turn in.

1 playmaker

1 "false-dead" in the other half

1 attacker without ball

The rest with the ball line up behind the attacker.

• Number 1 with the ball throws to the playmaker, who gives a set up and the attacker tries to score.
• The sham is going to try to pass and catch the ball, if he succeeds, the attacker is "dead" and has to take over the place of the sham who may now join the line.
• If the attacker scores he will get the ball and join the back of the line.
• This continues until there is only 1 attacker left, if he scores again, he or she is the winner.
• The last ball is thrown by the trainer.

• Player A throws/strikes the ball towards player C.
• Player C passes the ball to player B.
• Player B sets up the ball.
• Player C attacks.

Goal: try to attack/play 3rd ball on the mats (straight or diagonal).

After each ball move one place in your own group.

Extension: When there are enough players one could also choose to place a block.

- 1 and 2 hold the net 
- C plays ball in the backfield
- 1 defends on 2
- 2 sets up on 1 
- 1 hits placed to the left or right back
- 3 and 4 the next

Goal: Make a good run

Accent : Both arms go up

• One line on the outside, nr 2 throws the ball to SV, nr 1 attacks
• One row at the centre or at position 2, nr 2 throws the ball to SV, nr 1 attacks.

• Line at position 5
• Queue at position 6
• Thrower throws ball at position 5, pass to SV at position 2-3, set up to position 3
• Thrower throws ball at position 6, pass to SV, set up to position 4
• Attacker gets ball and goes to the back of the line
• Then with a block and block defense

Goal: Block in the right position, hands opposite the striker's arm
