Volleyball drills for technique passing / defense / reception

pair up.

  • At the net with the ball
    • other player on back line lying down.
  • Stand up in different ways:
    • just get up,
    • through squatting,
    • jump high in one go.
  • Both players stand: at the net with the ball, ball is hit aimed. Pass back.
  • Later: hit the ball harder (left/right/harder).

Starting position is a formation with 4x4 players and the remaining players behind the back line of field A.

  • Trainer throws the ball into field A and they play the ball 3x over the net,
  • Field B defends and tries to return the ball in 3x,
  • If one of the teams scores a point, we rotate in pairs.
  • The back players of zone B leave the field and join the back line of field A.
  • The front players of B field become back players in B field,
  • the front players of field A become front players of field B, the back players of field A become front players of field B.
  • A new pair of players turns into field A and becomes the back players.

Goal of the exercise: on the one hand to process the deep ball in the back to your playmaker, on the other hand to place the 'third' ball underhand in the back of the opponent's team.

  • 3 teams
  • 1 at the net
  • other 2 on 2 sides in the back of the field


  1. B plays the ball overhand to A
  2. B passes under the net
  3. A plays the ball UNDER HAND to C
  4. C plays the ball UNDERHAND to B
  5. B plays the ball overhand to C
  6. B pass under the net
  7. C plays the ball UNDER HAND to A

  • 2 rows of players
    • 1 row on the left back
    • 1 row at the right back
  • create with 4 pawns a virtual line where they have to stand behind
  • trainer stands at the other side of the net and throws the ball somewhere in the field.
  • 1 of the 2 front rows calls LOS orI (let's agree)
  • he passes it to the net and the other one catches it.
  • pass-and-shout

  • Some with the ball and some without in the back of the field.
  • Passes, fetch ball and give into trainer's back.
    • Trainer determines pace and difficulty of ball.
  • Trainer center.
  • Player at the net left or right doesn't matter.
  • Trainer hits the ball player walks backwards into the field after the pass around the pawn passes another ball to trainer.

  • divide into 2 groups of 5
  • 1 player on each side on position 5
  • 1 player under the basket
  • ball is thrown over the net and the passer plays the ball into the basket
  • after that you join the group on your own side of the net.
