Volleyball drills for technique passing / defense / reception

1 and 4 are on service position both on their own half and they throw a ball over the net to 2 and 5. These keys pass the ball to 3 and 6 and they catch the ball. Run after your ball. Practice first. Do not make mistakes, try 10 times to do this correctly. So we play together!

Player stands at the net with bucket above his head, may move a little but do not bend over. Trainer stands on the backline with a row of players with the ball next to him. Trainer throws ball randomly in the field and player puts ball in bucket. Make it more and more difficult.

- In 2 groups with 1 ball. One throws 15 balls to the other and he has to return them.

- The same, only now the ball is thrown to the left and right of the player and the player moves around the pawn. Change 20 times

  • do this exercise 10 minutes
  • if player plays OH 100 times, player enters CLUB of 100
  • make a list with all players and 10 columns (10, 20, 30 etc)
  • 2 players with 1 ball (preferably 2 players with the same milestone)
  • player 1 as many keys as possible, player 2 counts
  • if ball goes wrong, change
  • at the end everyone puts a tick behind his possible new milestone (10, 20, 30 etc)

2 rows of children. Trainer throws the ball to the player and the player catches the ball via oh technique. So with arms extended and hands catching the ball. Trainer stands in front of the net and player in the back of the field. They throw the ball back to the trainer via oh technique and then touch the middle line and go under the net. There is a bench there which they walk over and then along the field back to the line.


Idem, only now they pass the ball back to the trainer. Pay attention to the outstretched arms and that they hit the ball low. Keep your knees and buttocks back. If they stand up straight, they hit the ball too high and it will hang or go over their head.

  • Trainer throws ball over the net and player catches the ball
  • Then via oh throw movement back over the net to the trainer
  • then tap the middle line
  • and then walk around the outside
  • and join again at the back
  • All of them 1 ball.
  • 1 child may throw dice (they all get their turn)
  • and the number of dots thrown must be tested or throw and then catch.
  • Split the group in 2, so each trainer a group and a dice.

2 teams with a net in between and 1 ball.

  • Throw the ball to each other and try to catch it.

  • They start at the net and have to move backwards.

Idem, however now 2x keys and then catch.
