Volleyball drills for technique block / net defense
- Side one saves, defend on other side and try to score point against blockers with outs.
- Other 2 who do not have to save, can come in to defend in backfield.
- Have passers alternate as 'chameleons'.
- 2 people on a chair one with 2 tennis balls.
- other side of net must take blocks and tennis balls and pass to other person on chair -block-.
- 10x each
- One press on chair attacking each time, across net blocks and then dive at 3 meter line. Another "supplies" balls for person on chair. each 10x.
- Same as exercise 2. Now comes only a 2nd tip at about 5 to 6 meters. Defending facing the net!
Practice on defense, technical attack and drop balls.
- Practice defensive techniques.
- Improve technical attack techniques.
- Practice with drop balls.
- 1 side with 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.
- 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.
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:
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.
2) Second phase: Start with fake-block, fast backwards, around the pawn => Throw-up => 5x good jump timing then change.
- Players on the cabinets play a fast ball.
- The net blocks and the back players pass the ball.
- Play it out.
- Bring balls to basket and distribute balls to cabinets.

This can be accomplished by following the following steps:
This can be accomplished by following the following steps:
