Volleyball drills for technique passing / defense / reception

• Preparation:
  • Hang a ribbon from the net at the spot where the playmaker wants the ball in his hands.
  • The ribbon is the target for the passers.
• Three passers stand in the backfield and one player stands at the net.
• The passers are served continuously, and the servers MUST score.
• (low over the net and as deep as possible; when the passers change their position, the servers have to react to that).
• A pass is sent to the server who taps the ball through, gives a set-up or catches the ball (in case of a pass that cannot be handled).
• The trainer intercepts the set-up; if the exercise is going well, an attacker can be added.
• After 10 individual good passes a passer may change with a server of his choice.

• Organization:
  • Divide group into trios.
  • All on field A and trainer on field B.
• Implementation:
  • 1st trio enters the field for a service pass.
  • Trainer serves and the trio passes to p2/3 where one of the three catches the ball.
  • Then comes trio 2, etc.
  • Build out with setup and attack from position.
  • Still later 1 trio is defending and we play out the rally.

• Make 2 teams
• T (coach) throws ball to or serves on the straight.
• Action 1:
  • Player runs in and passes
• Action 2:
  • Player runs in and is ready for the set-up
• Action 3:
  • Player gives a pass to position 3
• Action 4:
  • Set-up at position 4
• Player tries to knock a pawn off the bench by smash.
• Pawn off the bench?
• Twosome gets 1 point.

• Learning to pass to playmaker (position 2) with movement towards the ball.
• Line up at position 1.
• Players there have a ball in their hands.
• Player A plays to player B at position 3.
• Player A moves sideways to position 6.
• Player B plays the ball back to position 6.
• Player A plays the ball (preferably) BH to the korf basket at position 2.
• Player B catches the ball and joins the line at position 1.
• Player C moves into position player B.
• Player A moves to player C's position, position 3.
• On the other side of the net you can practice the same.
• Later on, alternate with player instead of basket, place of throw, position of return and position of pass.
• To learn to always pass to the distributor.

Combination of playing overhand, blocking and defending in teams of 4.

• At the net play 2x overhead, 1x for yourself and the next ball to the defense.
• Defense plays ball back underhand. (wide)
• After playing overhand block 2x at the net.

Extension of the exercise:

• Instead of playing the second ball overhead, hit it in a targeted way.

• On one side of the field there is a six in full formation.
• On the other side are 3 players.
• Behind the 3 players stand the servers.
• Exercise:
  • Servers serve the ball, the 6 team defends this ball and plays out the rally.

  • Ball on ground by the 3 team, point for the essayed team.
  • Good service, but rally won by 3-player, point for 3-player.
  • IF 3-TAL has 3 points three move on, if TEAM has 12 points, 3-tal and all servers must push up 5x.

• TR --> throws the ball to player A.
• Player S --> pass to SV.
• SV --> setup to player B.
• Player B --> pass to --> player C.
• Player C --> pass to SV.
• SV setup on diagonal to reserve SV.
• Back up SV catches --> ball in ball pit.
• After 10 substitutions of SV.
• When both SVs have been through, the other players turn one spot --> the exercise starts again.
• When there are more than 5 players, split the group in two. (Possibly an extra passer.

• Organization:
  • 3 passers including a PL and the Libero on field A.
  • Playmaker on field A.
