Volleyball drills for technique passing / defense / reception

• 2 lines of players
  • 1 line left in the back
  • 1 line right in the back
• create a virtual line with 4 cones behind which they have to line up
• trainer is on the other side of the net   and throws the ball somewhere in the field
• 1 of 2 most front in the line callsLET GO or IK (agree)  
• this player passes the ball over the net to the previous player
• a round of catching for the next
• If you did not have the ball, join the shortest line
• 

pay attention in the exercises:

• Pass has to be high, so the player can catch 'overarm'.
• Pass to right, right foot front
• Pass to left, left foot front
• 'Eyes' of the shoulder in playing direction

The exercise:

• trios with 1 ball
• 1 and 2 are next to each other, not too close to the net.
• 3 is opposite 1 in the back of the field.
• 1 throws straight to 3, and 3 throws diagonally to 2
• 2 catches and then throws straight to 3 and 3 throws diagonally to 1.
• so 3 keeps moving

pairs with net in between.

• Throw ball with stretched arms and 1 foot before the other over the net.
• Trainer throws ball over the net
• Player tries to catch and throws the ball with
  • stretched arms
  • and 1 foot before the net
  •  and touches the chest.
• Hit chest, you take a peg and attach it to your shirt
•   How many pegs do you have at the end?

Idem, only knock the ball overarm

• Move the chest once in a while

• trios with 1 ball.
• A and B are at the net, and C is opposite of A on the end line.
• A throws ball to C, C throws diagonally to B, B catches.
•   Meanwhile, A moves with regard to B, and then A throws the ball to C.
• After 20 passes rotate 
  

• Split the group into pairs.
• The pairs will work through a number of stations, where different tasks have to be performed.
• Station 1: A slalom through several poles, with an underhand pass at the end of the slalom.
• Move as fast as possible between the poles.
• Station 2: One player lies down on the backline, while the other stands at the net with the ball.
• Player at the net hits the ball.
• Player in the backfield then stands up, and defends a hit ball at 7 meters, or a prik ball at the 3 meter.
• Station 3: Player stands in front of a trampoline, behind player 1 stands a second player with 2 tennis balls.
• One tennis ball is thrown into the trampoline, player 1 catches it before it hits the ground.
• The second tennisball is thrown quickly after it.
• Station 4: Simple, good block jumps, paying attention to the technique.
• Station 5: Reflex training: player stands with arms outstretched, a ball in each hand.
• Player 2 faces the other player, and reacts to the release of one of the balls.
• Do not make the distance between players too great to begin with.
• Each station has a working time of 1 minute.

• Divide the team into two groups and have them form two rows facing each other on the 3-meter line.
• Have the players play over the net and then walk around the cone to join the other group.
• On 1 side, parallel to the sideline, place a speed ladder and before joining the line, have the players do a drill through the ladder.
• On the other side, place pawns where they have to slalom, turn around.
• Importantly, the ball should not fall to the ground, communication is important.
• Optionally add a penalty if the ball falls to the ground. Head roll, Back roll.
• First with underhand throwing and catching - then overhand. Catch and push change to toss up and over-key.

1. Server plays the ball towards position 6
2. 1 of the 2 passers, passes the ball towards the playmaker(SV)
3. SV plays the ball to the front left or right
4. Attacker (A) completes the attack (attack pass to net)
5. Attack

   
   

   
   

   server -> passer

   passer -> attack

   attack -> server

• You have 2 teams one is on one side of the field and the other on the other side.
• There is a ball played in the field the ball may fall on the ground 0/1 time the ball is passed by the teams to the other side of the field.
• If the ball either bounces 1/2 time, goes out or wrong technique a team has a point.

• field is divided in 2 parts
• on side 1 are 1 playmaker, the libero and the middle attackers
• on side 2 are the other players
• there are on each side 1 attacker and 1 blocker and a server.
• depending on the number of players there is 1 passer or 2 passers.
• the purpose of this exercise is to get in agreement with the distributor which ball you want to play.
• With the middle players we will practice on the 'rise' balls and other variations such as the 'neck'.

Some variations on the well known butterfly...:

• Service-pass-catch on SU-position, running after the ball.
• As everyone is chasing his/her ball, each player has a different task, but if desired, a player can have a fixed position.
• Variation 1:
  • The SU plays a set-up to position 4, where an attacker stands to play a (placed) attack on the receiver.
  • The rotation then becomes: Service -passer -upper - attacker - off-side - service etc.
• Variation 2:
  • the fixed SU plays a ball to a receiver 'somewhere' in the field, who makes himself known by calling 'here'.
  • The SU learns to react on sound, the receiver learns to communicate his position.
• Variation 3:
  • The fixed SU plays the pass backwards to position 2, where the receiver, after an attacking movement, catches the ball and starts serving.
  • In the diagram is variation 1

• 3 players in the middle play overhand for themselves.
• 2 players outside also play overhand for themselves.
• The outside players run around it.
• And pass in between.

• The players stand in a diamond in the field.
• On the other side of the field, the hoops are in the corners.
• The trainer/trainer serves easily to the other side.
• On the other side, they try to pass 3 times and then try to drop down into the hoop.
