drawing playmaker setup from 1st time attack
Practice on defense, technical attack and drop balls.

  • Practice defensive techniques.
  • Improve technical attack techniques.
  • Practice with drop balls.
  • 1 side with block.
drawing Attacking exercise with 1-man block
  • The attacker puts a block.
  • The thrower hits over this.
  • The libero or passer passes the ball to the server.
  • The server passes the ball to the attacker who just blocked.
  • The thrower puts a block and the attacker hits straight through to the defender, who defends for himself.
  • Passing: passer becomes attacker -> attacker becomes backup defender -> defender becomes backup thrower -> thrower becomes backup passer.
drawing Attack variation
  • Divide group into triplets.
  • Form of play is 2 against 2 on a half court.
  • Goal: move and communicate in backfield.
    • Do not want to score, but keep the ball in play, play "on" the person and make long rallies.
    • Hit the 3rd ball as much as possible. Play overhand to keep the rally going.
  • Starting position:
    • 2 players in the court, 1 on the back line "waiting room" on both sides.
  • Ball is brought in from 2-3 meters with toss and attacking stroke=> back 5-7 meter position.
  • Passer becomes attacker. so after pass immediately to 3 meters and then attack.
  • After attack immediately out and to waiting room.
  • Non-passer goes forward immediately and becomes Setter then back to 5-7m position.
  • "Waiting room" supplies new passer.
drawing Two-Two - Moving
  • Trainer brings the ball into play towards the passer by throwing/striking.
  • Of the two passers, the one who claims the ball will play the ball to 1 of the 2 SVs.
  • SV gives long setup towards attack.
  • Attacker hits ball straight through and retrieves ball, ball in ball box, joins passers.
PASS -> SV
SV -> ATTACK
ATTACK -> PASS
drawing Pass, setup and attack
  • Groups of 3 people of approximately equal height.
  • The thrower pays attention to the correct steps:
    • Short, Long, Connect, Take arms with jump.
  • Attacker asks for higher/lower ball to get the timing right.
  • Defender determines start of exercise.
Setting:
  • One ball per 3-team.
  • 2 Blockers face each other at the net.
  • Setter next to 1 of the blockers.
Rotation:
  • Defender determines start, countdown = 3-2-1 block => try => hands touch each other above the net.
  • Defender => shuffle backwards to about 5-6 meter position -speed !
  • Attacker => fast to the 3 meters ready for attack.
  • Throw up => almost straight up on indication of height attacker.
  • Attacker => straight up calm stroke.
  • Defender => Pass up and catch.
  • Thrower to other side of the net.
  • Same principle but mirrored.

  • 5x attack per person so 10x toss up.
  • Mutual exchange, 3x total, everyone is the thrower once.
drawing Attack Pass
Practice attack run a few times with a few runs beforehand.

Attention => short long short, slant run, take your arms into the jump, try to get as high as possible.

Then do this exercise in pairs:
  • 1 person throws up
  • 1 person does attack pass with timing => catch as high as possible with 2 hands.
  • Thrower pay attention to correct steps: Short, Long, Connect, take arms with jump.
  • Catcher asks for higher / lower ball so timing is right.
1) First phase: Run-up from about 3 meter line => 5x good jump timing, then change
2) Second phase: Start with fake-block, fast backwards, around the pawn => Throw-up => 5x good jump timing then change.
drawing Attack Pass
