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

• 4 gives setup on 1 and 1 plays BH to 2. 2 defends to 3,
• 3 sets up 2 and 2 plays BH to 1,
• 1 defends on 4 and it starts all over again.

• After 3 and 4 have given 5 setups they are exchanged,
• The challenge is to do this while keeping the ball in play.
• If this goes well the team will attack technically instead of playing BH.

• 3 teams,
  • 2 with ball at the net,
  • 1 without ball at the backline flat on belly.
• Net player 1 hits ball, defender stands up and defends attack at about 6 meters,
  • Afterwards short ball on 3 meter by net player 2.
• Repeat 2 series of 20 balls (so 10x attack and 10x short).

In pairs

• 1 with ball on the backline
• 1 without ball at the net facing the net
• make a block jump at the net (pay attention to a straight landing)
• after landing, turn around and defend short ball on 6m line

Per 3: 1 person at the net, 1 person on the back line, 1 person in between.

• Person in between goes to work, gets ball from person at the net, OH back. Turns around a few steps backwards, ball from back line, OH back. Turn back around and repeat (20x reception).
• Can be with or without stroke.

In pairs: 1 person at the net and 1 person on 3 meter line.

• Ball is tested from the net to 3 meter line, BH back.
• Move backwards and ball is hit to backline can also be a touch, OH back
