Volleyball drills for technique block / net defense

• 6 players on one side of the net.
• 1 playmaker on the other side at right back
• 3 strikers +Tim as passer
• Joël throws in balls to Tim.
• Tim passes the ball to the playmaker, who chooses which attacker to pass to. The attacker can choose whether to hit or to place a passed ball behind the block.
• 
  

starting position by showing chalk drawings on the ground for defending.

Warming up / all-round training

Each player will pass, attack, distribute, block, defend, rally, with turnovers.
#2 means

• Trainer stands with cart with balls at the pole at #2 (position 2)
• Players stand outside the field at the side of #1 and a playmaker at # 2/3
• First round starts with Trainer throwing the ball to #5, player 1 runs from the sideline to the ball and plays it to the distributor.
• Start with "blue players" (see drawing), then extend with "red players
  
  

Further course of play:

1. Tr throws ball for S1 to #5
2. S1 runs in and plays to Sv (#2/3)
3. Sv gives setup to the outside (#4)
4. S1 attacks.
5. Turn over: S1 becomes Sv, Sv gets the ball and joins the line at #1.
   
   

Expansion 1

1. Sv turns to the other side of the net and becomes a blocker.
   Now the same steps as above, but with the block opposite the attacker.
   
2. Turn over: S1 (has just attacked) becomes Sv at #2/3, Sv
   passes under the net and becomes B1 at #2B1
   who, after blocking, goes to get the ball and joins the row
   
   .
   
   
   
   
   
   

Extend 2

1. After blocking at #2, player goes to defend at #5. Attacker is obliged to pass to #5.
2. When the ball is defended a rally may be played (2 vs. 2)
3. After end of rally or no defence or fault in attack, turn over
   
   

Extend 3 and more

1. One can extend with a 2nd blocker, 2nd and 3rd defender (on resp. #1 and #6)
2. More players can be added to field I (so players from the sideline move in when a rally arises)
3. The passing game becomes S1 (passing and attacking) -> Sv -> B1 (#3) -> B2 (#2) -> V1 (#1) -> V2 (#6) -> V3 (#5) possibly A2 (#4) and then connect again.
4. You can expand to 6 against 6, so start with blue, then B1, then B2, then V1, then V2 (when continuing the game, first V2 and then V1), then V3 (continuing the game with V2, V3, V1) and then possibly A1. In the meantime, players in field I must be added.
5. If there are several players in Area I, you can choose to throw in a ball on S1 at #5 instead of throwing in a ball through Tr.

• The players all stand side by side at the net
  • with their faces turned to the net
  • and in the proper position to want to block,
  • so elbows and hands at the right height.
• The coach throws a ball from the other side of the net to the players and they each take their turn to block their thrown ball.

• Everyone ball and distribute along two sides of the net.
• Gather at the right post

• Block displacement with one small step: during the block balls tap each other
  • After the first move, switch sides
• Block move with one big step: during the block balls tap each other
• Move the block with two small steps in a row: during the block, balls tap each other.
• Block displacement with two big steps: during the block balls tap each other
• Block displacement with first small step and then big step: during the block balls tap each other
• Block displacement with an exit: during the block balls tap each other

• Blockers 1 and 2 start on positions 2 and 4. Blocker 3 at position 3

• Blockers 1, 2 and 3 block when trainer says 'YES'.

• Blocker at position 3 move to the right (position 2) 

• And together with blocker at position 2 make a perfect closed block.

• Other blocker moves to the middle. 

• Blocker at position 4, 3 and 2 block when trainer says 'YES'. 

• Blocker at position 3 moves to the left (position 4) 

• And together with blocker at position 4 create a perfect closed block. 

• 3 players on 1 side of the net on 3m line
• the other 3 in a row also on the 3m line on the other side of the net.
• Player 1 leaves and goes to block on position 2,
• on the other side she receives a ball from a player on the 3m line, which she will block.
• Then the player moves with cross pass to the middle, there she will also block a ball thrown to her.
• Finally, she receives a ball at position 4 and blocks it there as well.
• While one player is already blocking in the middle, the next one can already start at position 2
• After a number of times, you can switch

• Practicing defense of opponent's offense, block coverage and positioning in the backfield

• Two passers - two SV
• Attackers position 4
• Blocker 2 centre and 1 outside.
• Outside blocker indicates position.
• Center connects.
• Blockers turn around.
• Offenders retrieve ball.
• Coach plays ball.

Hitting on the outside and the middle

Then

Except for the playmaker, the other players perform successively a reception, an attack block and a defence.

The exercise goes as follows:

• 1 player 1 hits a technical ball to player 7
• 2a player 7 passes the ball to the play distributor
• 2b player 1 walks to the other line and closes at the back.
• 3 the play dealer gives a setup to player 6
• 4 player 6 smashes the ball on the line or diagonally
• 5 player 6 retrieves his batted ball himself
• 6 player 6 serves the ball to the other mat
• 7 player 6 retrieves his own ball
• 8 player 6 joins row
• This can also be done with a middle attack

After 10 minutes a block is added
