Volleyball drills for technique defense / passing / digging / diving / reception

Trainer stands with ball box at the net, position 2/3, players stand at position 1, 5 and 6 for defense.

Trainer throws ball to players:

• If ball at position 1, players of position 1 and 6 exchange after playing back ball
• If ball at position 6, players remain standing
• If ball at position 5, players of position 5 and 6 clear after playing back ball

• As long as the passing remains good at 2/3, the coach continues to pass the ball.
• Players not participating stand around the field and make sure the ball pit stays filled.

• 4 gives setup on 1 and 1 attacks on 2.
• 2 defends to 3,
• 3 gives setup on 2 and 2 attacks on 1,
• 1 defends on 4 and it starts all over again.
