Volleyball drills for technique passing / defense / reception

  • 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 orIK (agree on that)
  • this player passes the ball over the net to the other (who did not call loose)
  • player who has caught the ball puts it in the bin.
  • shout-5
  • A serves to B.
  • B passes the ball to the playmaker, who then plays a high ball into the backfield.
  • B defends this ball back to the playmaker, who then gives a setup for A.
  • A attacks on this setup.

After the attack, A takes B's place and B becomes a reserve. The playmaker stays.

The outfield attackers use the left half of the court with one playmaker. The middle attackers and diagonal attackers use the right half with another playmaker.

Extension:

  • After the service, A takes a second ball.
  • After B's attack A throws this ball into the field.
  • B plays this ball to the playmaker, the playmaker gives a setup.
  • B attacks again.


passing-defending-and-attacking-2

  • Coach throws a setup on 3 and X at side A. 3 and X attack.
  • The 6 on side B are in rally formation and defend the attacks.


Blocking:
  • 1 and X on side B look at their attacker to know where to put the block.
  • X1 joins X and 1 by looking at their feet and placing hers next to them.


Defense:
  • Move after the setup is given and move as long as you can.

Moving as long as you can is in my case the moment the attacker barely touches the ball. At that moment, you make a split step as a defender and make sure that your body's centre of gravity (LZP) has been brought forward. So do not move backwards when the ball is hit because your LZP is then behind you and you are too late to defend the ball in front of you.

If the ball is defended, then rally.
