Volleyball drills

Hit to outside and middle

Daarna

Beside the playmaker, the other players execute a pass, an attack, and a service.

The exercise is as follows:

• 1 Player 1 throws a tight ball to player 7
• 2a player 7 passes the ball to the playmaker
• 2b player 1 walks to the other line and joins the back.
• 3 the playmaker gives a set up to player 6
• 4 player 6 smashes the ball to the mat
• 5 player 6 picks up his own ball
• 6 player 6 serves the ball to the other mat
• 7 player 6 picks up his own ball
• 8 player 6 joins the line
• This can also be done a middle attack

After 10 minutes, a block is added

• Trainers: shows basis, right leg forward, make plank, step in, etc.
• In pairs with 1 ball. Player at the net throws ball to player in the back which passes back. Is the pass correct, then play overarm, but be strict!! 20 balls, then change.
  (Score keeping every good ball is a point)
• Idem, only now the balls are thrown short/long, so back player has to move forwards/backwards.

• T1 places to playmaker 1

• Set-up to 2

• Attack left forward 

• 1+2 block, then back for attack

• T2 plays the ball to playmaker 3, coming in from the right back

• set up to 2 on middle or to 1 on right forward 

VARIATION: Idem: to left forward

-1 defender starts behind the end line
-  C plays high ball in the field
-  1 comes in and plays overarm to S
-  S sets up backwards to 4
-  Attack through the middle, attacker gets the ball
-  1 will be attacker, and 2 will be defender
VARIATION: with block, 

Then with middle attackers and then with outside attackers

line of attackers on the 3 meter line

-C plays rally ball on attacker 1

- blocker 4 goes to the net

- 1 passes to S and calls where he wants the set up

   (left, middle, or right)

- blocker follows attacker and blocks

- attacker gets ball, joins back of own line

- if the attackers score 10x, the attackers and

   blockers change

1. Bring your hands to the ground from an upright position and keep your legs stretched.
2. Take small steps forward with your hands until you cannot go any further..
3. Then move your feet towards your hands until you cannot go any further. Take small steps, only using your ankles to walk.
4. Repeat these movements a number of times.

• When delivering a freeball we want to disrupt the opponents offence as much as possible. 
• We can also use the freeball to take out an offensive attacker by pulling them close to the net or making them take the first contact. 
• Dump zones are meant to target the setter or setter transition area and to pull an outside hitter off of their approach.
• If there is time, the player passing the ball should look at the opponents side of the net to determine where to place the ball - D1, D2, D3, D4
• Teammates not involved in the play should be:
  • Ready to defend the freeball
  • Looking at the opponents transition or positioning on the court
  • Communicating to the player passing the ball on where to put the ball - 1, 2, 3, 4

• Holding a plate with your hands at the 9 and 3 positions, this exercise builds the core and also develops upper body strength.
• Specific to volleyball, it helps the shoulder stay healthy and aids in the transfer of power from the core to the upper body.

• This exercise, done with 2 dumbbells, is good for glute strength, hamstrings and improving an athlete's vertical jump.

• Some volleyball players choose to do stationary mat twist exercise for improving core rotational speed.
• Keep in mind that you need to prepare a mat as well as weight (or a medicine ball) for this exercise.
• First of all, you should kneel on a mat and hold a weight (or a medicine ball). Now, your job is to rotate to the right and then return to the center.
• You also need to rotate to the left and then return back to the center.

• It’s another exercise that helps volleyball players develop foot speed.
• Uphill acceleration sprints involve sprinting on an uphill incline.
• You should perform sprints for a certain distance a set number of times.
• It’s a good idea to experiment with sprints.
• Set a number of repetitions, distance as well as the duration of break for sprints.

• Doing exercises like colored cones circles helps improve foot speed that’s incredibly important for a volleyball player.
• First of all, you should prepare randomly colored cones.
• You should also ask a coach (or friend) to assist you with this exercise.
• At the next stage, you need to place colored cones in the circle.
• Your goal is to create a circle that is 20 feet wide.
• Now, you need to stand in the center of the circle.
• The job of a coach (or friend) is to pick one of colored cones for you.
• So, you will need to approach to the appropriate cone as soon as possible and then return back to the circle’s center using a crossover step.
