Volleyball drills for general

• Often the volleyball field is divided into six positions, you can also divide the field into nine sections of three by three meters.
• This can be of value in coaching, service and (tactical) attack.
• I let the group hold hands and then call a number below ten.
• The group must then move as quickly as possible to the appropriate section.
• Tip: After practicing this, I call out a number under ten at practice and have players point to the appropriate section on the court.

Supplies: A stick about 2.5 meters long and 1 to 2 cm thick.

• The group gets the assignment to put the stick on the ground but it has to stay horizontal.
• The group stands up straight (see drawing) and stretches both forefingers to the front at shoulder width and the upper and lower arms are at an angle of 90 degrees.
• The trainer places the bar on the forefingers pointing forward.
• From this position, the group should try to bring the bar down to the ground.
• The bar must remain horizontal and not be raised or lowered on any side.
• The bar should not be grabbed either!

• Individual exercise to improve ball feeling with one hand.
• Each player has 1 volleyball, mini volleyball, tennis ball, juggling ball (or for advanced players a non round object; a light plastic container or light bottle for example, but can be used with anything).
• The goal of the players is to keep the ball in the air by hitting it as many times as possible with only one hand.
• Have the players count how many times they can do this per the 2 minutes per task.
• Possible assignments:
• - Underhand lobsmash
• - Over your head
• - Hit your leg afterwards with the hand you played with
• - Clap your hands after touching them
• - Lying down -> sitting -> standing (and back)
• - Raising your knee/heel
• - Against the wall
• - In pairs one player under, the other over the net=
  Be creative! =
  
• Possible exercise for several people. (see image)
• One or more in the middle, the rest around it.
• Setters play the ball somewhere around them, the rest have to make sure that the ball is returned to setters in X number of times.
• Agree on how many times the ball can be played.
• Exercise stimulates:
• - Communication
• - Reflexes
• - Ball sense
  
  
  

• F plays to B.
• B makes reception to A.
• A plays a short ball to F.
• F plays back and A plays the ball to D.
• D passes to G.
• G to A.
• A plays two short backs and G plays to C.

• Form several teams.
• Winning team can go under the net.
• Opposite team scores a point = stay put.
• Other team makes point ==> change at the other side of the net.

2 children and 1 towel

The children catch and throw the ball over the net. The towel is between both children. Opponent also has 2 children with 1 towel. Points are just like regular volleyball

• Making a circle,
• The circle always consists of pairs of players.
• In the middle of the circle there are exactly the number of balls minus 1.
• The players stand behind each other,
• At the start signal the player in the back jumps three times on the back of the player in front,
• After 3 times this player runs 2 rounds on the circle, crawls between the legs of his buddy and takes a ball,
• The last one to come has no ball.

Side a: formationSide
b: someone position 6 - position 5 and position 1

OBJECTIVE
: Side a gets every ball against and tries to score from this situation
.

• First ball: serve side b
• Second ball: freeball coming from side b (side b builds up and tries to pass "difficult" freeball)
• Third ball: attack position 6
• Third ball: attack position 1

• Side a is not allowed to place the ball in the 3m line at side b, everything behind the 3.
• But side b is allowed to attack in the 3m line.
• Let's see how easy it goes.

• Divide the field in 2 halves.
• 3 players per field.
• A game is played on the diagonal,
• The third ball is played on control.
• First to the 10 points
