Volleyball drills for technique passing / defense / reception

• Make threes
• Each trio one ball.
• Player in the middle runs an 8 each time. Each time this player gets in the middle, a ball is thrown:
  • A throws (or plays overhand) the ball to B (in the middle).
  • B plays the ball back to A underhand and then runs around A until he is in the middle again.
  • A meanwhile passes the ball overhead to C.
  • C plays the ball overhand back to B.
  • B passes the ball back to C underhand and then runs around C until he is in the middle again.
  • Etc.
• After 2-3 minutes, the player in the middle changes.

Variation:

• To make it easier, player A and C can also have them throw instead of playing overhand. This can be an underhand throw/catch or an overhand throw/catch.
• To practice standing still while playing/catching, you can also let player B throw and catch underhand.

• 2 rows of players behind the backline & 1 playmaker(SV) at the net
• first of both rows lies on stomach
• trainer stands at the other side of the net
• hits the ball and throws the ball
• players stand up and pass to SV
• SV gives set-up to player who did not pass.
• This attacker retrieves the ball and brings it back to the trainer.
• After a while have the second player change with the first player.

• Player A serves the ball to player C.
• Player C passes the ball to player B.
• Player B sets up the ball.
• Player D attacks.

Goal: try to attack/play 3rd ball on the mats (straight or diagonal).

After each ball move one place in your own group.

Extension: When there are enough players, one could also choose to place a block.

The trainer stands on the other side with a ball locker

• 3 players stand in the backfield
• the coach throws (later on pass or attack) to the 3 players
• the 3 players have to get the ball to the other side in 3 plays.

ATTENTION:

• the 3rd ball (that goes over the net) has to be attacked (preferably with a jump)
• for EVERY ball you must call it loose
• every player has to hit the ball once

• O1 throws/strikes aimed at P1 on the other side of the pitch
• P1 pass to V1 who catches it
• P1 becomes V1 becomes Or
• O2 throws/strikes directed at O1

Make pairs and per pair one hoop.

• Play a 2x2 game.
• The ball is thrown into the field,
• The hoop is put on the ground by person 1 on the spot where the ball has to bounce.
• The ball bounces in the hoop and person 2 has to pass the ball.
• Person 1 finishes the game by passing the ball over the net.
• Then it's the other side's turn and they do the same.

PURPOSE: Walking withthe ball and choosing the right position.

• Three players on the back line.
• At about one meter from the sidelines you put a pylon.
• The other players stand around the field to pick up the balls.
• The trainer at the net throws the balls into the field at a high speed.
• It is up to the players to pass the balls back to the trainer, or at least to hit the ball.
• Then the players join in again at the back, and so they keep running and looking at the ball.
• The remaining players stand around the field to collect the balls played away and pass them back to the trainer.
• Expansion:
• Pawns further apart, throwing faster, hitting.

• The field will be divided in two.
• We play in two groups.
• Per group you have a service-player and a reserve service-player, a playmaker, a striker, two reception-players and a reserve reception-player.
• Servant and attacker stay in position for x-number of balls.
• Service and reception players change places.
