Volleyball drills for technique serving

  • Everyone on one side and then overhead service.
  • do it once.
  • Then one by one give attention.
  • Foot forward, other foot diagonal and keep it on the ground.
  • divide the group 4/3/3
  • The quartet starts with practicing serving.
  • After serving a few times, trainer indicates where the service should go.
  • The 6 team on the other side must play a service pass and finish a rally.
  • then change.
  • 3 players are ready to catch the serve, 1 player stands in the front middle where the passer is standing.
  • The rest of the players at the back line with a ball.
  • They are going to serve and the 3 players have to play the ball to the one in the front center.
  • Save outside or ladder and pump 10 times, the passer may not leave the hoop.
  • If the player does the reception and can catch the passer without leaving the hoop, they have a point.
  • Reception player --> pass --> save. The first one to get 10 points wins.
  • In today's exercise, the following techniques will be used: serving, attacking, passing and distributing.
  • However, the emphasis is on the pass and the distribution.
  • The players have to watch, think well and react adequately during this exercise.


service-pass-and-distributionThe diagram looks more complicated than the exercise is. The exercise goes as follows (I keep the numbering of the red numbers):

  • 1 player 3 serves
  • 2a one of the two playmakers runs to the position at the right front (the playmakers take turns)
  • 2b one of the two passers (in this case player 2) passes the ball to the right front side
  • 2c player 3 (who has just served) runs to the backline of the other half of the game
  • 3 the server gives a setup to the player who did NOT pass. A setup to the centre if player 2 has passed and a setup to the outside if player 1 has passed.
  • 4+5 the player who did not pass attacks (in this case player 1)
  • 6a the attacker retrieves his own batted ball and joins the back of the line of serves.
  • 6b the attacker's place is taken by the first player in the row behind the court.

As soon as the ball is struck the next service is executed.


  • Group split into two groups of 5, field divided into two halves'.
  • on each side a bench on the back line with cones on it. (opposite sides)
  • 3 players leave on the back line, 1 reserve, 1 service on other side of the field.
  • A serve is given to the three players: reception - pass - touch over net.
  • when the player has played the ball the players walk to the side where the bench is: reception - pass - hit to the cones
  • Which team hits the most cones off the bench?

  • 1 catcher at the net each side
  • 2 passers either side
  • 2 or 3 server both ends
  • Per group (server-passer-catcher) take turns serving.
  • Pass to SV/catcher Ball to OTHER server.

Goal : directed serve - passingRecurrence
: 2x 5 serve : 5 straight - 5 slideExecution
:
4 servers in each corner - 4 passers in each corner2
targets ( setters)

- series 1 : serve diagonally-
series 2 : serve straight






When one side serves straight, the other side serves diagonally.

Rotation: servers become passers, passers-servers, passers also change their position.

4-corner-serve-receive-drill

  • Have team line up individually with ball facing wall in center of room.
  • Practice for a few minutes with overhand serving.
  • Pay attention to a tight hand, stepping out, straight back and throwing up the ball.
  • One player at the net, the other on the 7-metre line.
  • The one at the net throws a short ball on the 3-meter line, then on the 7-meter line and so on.
  • First catch and throw the ball, if this goes well, you can continue to play.
  • Important that they stand still during the pass and do not wave their arms.
  • Passing and directed service practice, walk-through exercise, everyone runs after his ball, if you do not pass you stand, possibly expand the exercise by placing a playmaker on the 2/3 and have him give a setup backwards.
drawing Service and defence

2 groups of 3 players

  • 1 bench at position 5 - about 6 meters
  • 1 chair at position 2 - about 3 meters line


Players pass to the bench: on the bench on the right is 1 point

  • Strikes from 3 meter line: 10 points
  • Displays from 5 to 6 meter line: 10 points
  • Fouls from the back line: 10 points


If a pass is hit from the left side of the bench, from the outside next to the field or from behind the field; the person who saved the pass sits on the chairOr else
players must first free the player from the chair

Libero on position 6
Setter on position 3

2 Waiters on position 1 - if waiter misses, the waiter is called back.
1 receptionist on position 5
1 libero on position 6 
1 setter on position 3 
1 attacker on position 2 
1 blocker on position 4 

store-and-defend
  • 1 serves to 2 and libero to 6
  • 2 makes reception to setter and gives back pass to 3
  • 3 attacks straight ahead or tips short - server defends attack/tip from 3
  • After the serve server (1) starts defending on position 5 - libero stays in place 
  • Rotation: server -> receiver -> attacker -> block -> reserve server
