Volleyballexercises for technique attack / smash / spike / hitting

Goal: To knock over pawns

• 5 Pawns upside down positioned side by side on pos 1 on both halves
• Divide the playing field over the long way
• 2 teams with one SV and one passer/attacker on each side and one server on the other side
• serve to passer/attacker
• pass to SV
• SV setup
• Attacker attacks on pos 1 towards the pawns and tries to knock them over.
• The side that first knocks over the pawns wins.

• Training passes ball to the net.
• Player attacks.

- C attacks diagonally on 3 and 4

- 1 and 2 after block attack

- 3 and 4 defend, playmaker comes in

- set-up to 1,2 or 3, attack to 3 defenders.

- These defend for themselves and put the ball in the box.

• If volleyball players feel they are starting the attacking pass too early,
• or the coach feels the attackers are coming too early, this is a good drill.

• The playmaker is put down with a ball carrier.
• He gets the assignment to play 5 or less times for himself.
• The attackers do not know how many times this will happen, so they can only leave when the set-up is given, not before.
• The attackers will have to come in more aggressively and will build up more speed and thus more height, provided they have a good brake pass.
• If this goes well, the trainer can decide to move the playmaker closer to the attackers, so that the distance the set-upper has to travel is shortened.
• This should make the attackers even more alert.

• 2 groups 1 ball :
• 3 meter attack with defense
• 1 serve, pass to SV
• SV set-up at 3 meter on one of the passers
  • idem other side
• rally
• serve from the side where the ball hit the ground

In today's exercise, the following techniques will be used: serving, attacking, passing and distributing. However, the emphasis is on the pass and the distribution. The players have to watch, think well and react adequately during this exercise.

The diagram looks more complicated than the exercise is. The exercise goes as follows (I keep the numbering of the red numbers):

• 1 player 3 serves
• 2a one of the two playmakers runs to the position at the right front (the playmakers take turns)
• 2b one of the two passers (in this case player 2) passes the ball to the right front side
• 2c player 3 (who has just served) runs to the backline of the other half of the game
• 3 the server gives a setup to the player who did NOT pass. A setup to the centre if player 1 has passed and a setup to the outside if player 2 has passed.
• 4+5 the player who did not pass attacks (in this case player 1)
• 6a the attacker retrieves his own batted ball and joins the back of the line of serves.
• 6b the place where the attacker stood is taken by the first player in the row behind the court.

As soon as the ball is hit the next service is played.

Requirements

• A minimum of 9 players;
• pair of balls;

• Passer/runner and diagonal on position 4
• 5 throws ball to 1,
• 2 moves from the net,
• 3 sets the block diagonally, 4 defends.
• SV has to put the ball past the blocker, giving attacker a chance to pass behind the block.
• 5 balls through.
• Middens should block when the ball goes over the net and then move left and back.
• SV must also move 2-3 metres to the left.
• Always offer as a centre and SV must always move.

• Coach throws ball to defender
• Defender passes to playmaker
• sv gives set up to outside or middle

• On both sides of the net an SV
• Line up 2 rows to attack.
• On one side of the net, the attack happens short-cut through the middle
• On the other side, the SV does a backward setup and the right forward attacks.
• Attacker retrieves ball and joins own line.

VARIANT: attacker retrieves ball and connects to the opposite side and performs middle attack.

• 4 or 5 teams.
• 2 at the net 1 ball,
• rv set-up,
• l.f. attacks,
• on 2 or 3 defenders.

An exercise for the attacker. The attacker has to be available for a second attack after a block.

First the middle attackers. At the net stand the playmaker (S) and a head blocker (1) ready to block, next to them stands the trainer (T) or player with a ball. Three defenders (4, 5 and 6) are standing at the back of the field.

• The trainer hits the ball, whereupon 1 and S block together.
• During the block the trainer smashes the ball to 4, 5 or 6.
• As soon as 1 is on the ground again after the block, 1 moves backwards for the attack run.
• 4, 5 or 6 defend the ball.
• S gives a setup to 1.
• 1 smashes the ball
• 1 retrieves the ball.
• 2 takes the place of 1 (1,2 and 3 rotate)

Then the outside attackers who for a change will attack on the right. The playmaker (S) stands in the middle and the outfielder (1) stands on the right. Next to them again the trainer (T) and in the field the defenders (4, 5 and 6).

• The trainer hits the ball, whereupon 1 and S block together.
• During the block the trainer smashes the ball to 4, 5 or 6.
• As soon as 1 is on the ground again after the block, 1 moves backwards for the attack run.
• 4, 5 or 6 defend the ball.
• S gives a setup backwards to 1.
• 1 smashes the ball
• 1 retrieves the ball.
• 2 takes the place of 1 (1,2 and 3 rotate)
