Volleyball drills for technique passing / defense / reception

• The important thing is that each 2 team is serious about the drill, and really training each other.
• Doubles play OH, using the benches as a net.
  • OH, replay.
  • Player 1 throws the ball on close to the bench, after the pass (by player 2), player 2 runs to the back line, taps it, and comes in again.
  • Player 1 throws the ball at the backline, after the pass (by player 2), player 2 runs to the bench, taps it and back.
  • Same as the first exercise, but player 1 tries to OH the ball 2/3 times himself, and then pass to player 2.
• Player 1 standing on the bench:
  • Throwing the ball overhead, a bit harder and tighter if possible. Player 2 tries to pass the ball back.
  • Also in motion, shuffle backwards.

• Team is divided into two groups:
  • On one side of the field they play 2/2 or 3/3, passing the ball up and down.
  • On the other side of the court the trainer starts with the other group.
  • Trainer throws in balls, before the rally/service 3-4 handle the ball to position 3.
  • On 3 catch and put the ball in the ball bin.

• Short/long.
• Trainer throws balls to the 3 meter line. (positions A + B)
• Player 1 passes the short ball and runs to the middle.
• Player 3 comes in to play the ball.
• Then trainer switches to the other side.
• Player 2 plays the short ball, and goes to the middle.
• Player 1 now goes for the ball on the other side.
• Other players?
• 3 get balls.
• 3 encourage.
• After 10 balls switch groups.
• 2 trainers available?
• 1 trainer makes sure the player in the middle does not cheat by starting too fast. (and keep him/her in the middle).

• Organization:
  • Field B:
    • 2 passers and 1 reserve.
    • 1 playmaker on p2/3.
  • Field A:
    • Defender on 5 and 1.
    • Reserve on p5.
    • Coach serves.
• Execution:
  • Trainer serves.
  • Pass and setup to the non-passer.
  • Attack thus on p3 or p4.
  • Attacker becomes playmaker, passer stays.
  • Spare becomes passer and playmaker becomes spare on p5.
  • P5 passes to p1 and p1 becomes reserve passer.
  • Defended ball is passed to p2.

• Exercise to practice posture and movement when playing underhand.
• Players (red circle) shuffle stepping around the pawn in position for underhand play.
• Players then go under the net and play the ball back.
• 10x then change.

• Player starts with block jump at the net.
• Player then moves into position to defend a ball.
• Player passes the batted ball through the trainer to the catcher.
• Player shuffles around the pawn and defends the next ball.
• Catcher joins the line outside the field.
• Defender goes to catch.

• 2 tals.
• Two teams throw the balls over the net.
• On the other side of the net stand 3 teams, and play alternately.
• The ball is thrown to the ball, and is caught by the passing arms, but not yet played.
• Roll the ball back.
• After 2 times change to the next 2 team.
• Variation:
  • Try to play the ball in the box on pos. 3.
  • Stand low, feeling in your arms, play quietly.

• Objective:
  • Develop ball sense, be able to control ball close to your body.
• Everyone has their own ball, can be combined with a warm-up.

• Let the ball bounce on your right fist.
• Up to maximum eye level.
• Arm is stretched out and is almost horizontal.
• Stay in one place as much as possible.
• Later on, alternate bouncing with your left hand.
• Now do the same while following the yellow lines in a certain pattern.
• The person in front chooses the route (watch out for rear-end collisions!); who wants to take this role? (requires even more concentration and a sense of responsibility a la captain's role)

• Play the ball with only your right hand above your head, up to a maximum of 30cm higher than your hand
• Your upper arm is pointed 45 degrees upwards and your forearm 45 degrees in the other direction; this brings your hand above your shoulder again.
• The ball is played mainly with your wrist and forearm; stay in one place as much as possible.
• Later on, alternate with the left hand.
• Afterwards also in pattern.

• Play the ball in a fixed routine for yourself, for example:
• Square:
  • Underhand R, overhand R, overhand L, underhand L, underhand R, ...etc. (change later to the right)
• Cross:
  • Lower hand R, upper hand L, upper hand R, lower hand L, lower hand R, ...etc.

• In teams of four (preferably) with each its own ball.
• Stand in a square; all equally spaced.
• Throw the ball to the next person and catch the ball that is thrown to you.
• First throw underhand and catch underhand; then throw abovehand and catch abovehand.
• Then expand by passing 1 ball.

• Choose a spot opposite the wall.
• Sit in front of the wall with your feet against the wall.
• Play overhead against the wall. (Ball just above eye level)
• Pay attention to the movement of the wrist and a little bit of the forearm.
• The ball will only bounce about 10cm this way.
• If necessary, extend the game by slowly standing up, playing standing up for 10 seconds and then sitting down again.
• Let them play a route along the wall: bounce briefly (10cm) and play overhand (right).
• At the end of the route, take a distance of 2 meter from the wall and keep on playing overhand while walking left until the beginning of the route, close to the wall.
• Everyone in line; if you lose the ball, pick it up and go back to the line.

Three balls per two players.

1. Throw your own ball and catch it again.
   • Third ball is tested over and over again
2. Same as in jump pass

• Trainer strikes ball at pos 1,6.
• Players bring the pass --> SV --> AV.
• Other side defends ball and completes rally
• Space through on both sides

• 2 pairs on both sides of the net with 1 ball
• The ball is played back and forth in threes;
• The back player passes, the front player sets, the back player comes in and plays the ball easily over the net.
• The players at the other side do the same
• Front and back players rotate every time the ball is played over the net.
• After that, a simple attacking stroke and possibly a hard attacking stroke can be added.

• 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 must stand behind
• Trainer stands at the other side of the net and throws the ball somewhere in the field
• One of the two front row players calls LOS orI (let's agree)
• This player passes the ball over the net to the previous player.
• Catch a round for the next player
• If you did not have the ball, join the shortest row
