Volleyballexercises for technique general

Organisation:
  • Divide the group across both courts.
Execution:
  • Play the ball underhand over the net in a maximum of two actions.
  • After each net crossing, the team rotates one position.
  • If the ball falls on the floor or the opponent plays the ball differently, the team that played the ball over the net scores.
  • The game does not need to stop in principle.
  • If the game does stop, the ball is put back into play with an underhand serve from the backcourt.
  • Whoever reaches 15 points first wins.
  • Optional: Depending on the level, the second ball may be attacked from a standing position from the backcourt.

Objective
  • Focus
  • Communicate
  • Master the task
  • Persevere
Explanation
  • Start as a warm-up and end as a true battle.
  • Players are placed randomly on the court.
  • The ball is caught and immediately thrown over the net (one-time play).
  • After throwing the ball, the player runs to a wall (at the back or on the side) to touch it and returns to the court.
  • The other players rotate one position.
  • It is difficult to score.
  • In case of a faulty throw (into the net or out), the player must sprint around the opponent's court.
Execution
  • Duration: 5-10 minutes
  • At level "A" and higher, fewer players on the court for more intensity.
drawing Chaos: from easy to complex
Objective
  • Shift focus and quickly switch between actions.
Execution
  • Create groups of three players with one regular volleyball and one tennis ball.
  • The player with the tennis ball is the juggler and stands in the middle.
  • Player 1 passes the volleyball to the juggler.
  • The juggler throws the tennis ball to player 1.
  • The juggler returns the volleyball to player 1, who throws the tennis ball back to the juggler.
  • Player 1 passes the volleyball to player 3.
  • Player 3 passes the volleyball to the juggler.
  • The juggler throws the tennis ball to player 3.
  • The juggler returns the volleyball to player 3 and receives the tennis ball back.
  • Repeat this cycle.
  • This requires concentration and quick switching from the players.
  • If no tennis balls are available, two volleyballs can also be used.
Match Preparation
  • The team that must play this coming Saturday will play a practice match against the rest of the players.
Execution
  • Divide the team into two groups. Have the players form two lines facing each other at the 3-meter line.
