Volleyball drills for
The aim is to shift focus, so don't dwell on it for too long but be ready for the next action straight away.
- Make 3 teams with 1 regular volleyball and 1 tennis ball.
- The one with the tennisball is the lummel (player 2) and stands in the middle.
- Player 1 plays the ball to the dummy, the dummy throws the tennis ball to player 1.
- The dummy plays the ball to player 1 and player 1 throws the tennisball to the dummy again.
- After this player 1 plays the ball to player 3, player 3 plays the ball to the lummel, and the lummel throws the tennisball to player 3.
- to player 3. The dummy plays the ball to player 3 again and gets the tennisball back. etc...
- requires concentration of the players and fast switching.
- If you don't have tennisballs you can also use 2 balls.
- 3 teams.
- 1 is at the net,
- 2 in the back and
- 3 in the middle.
- 1 plays bra to 2,
- 2 plays bra to 3,
- 3 plays bra back to 2 and then turns around,
- 2 plays bra to 1,
- 1 plays bra to 3 etc etc
- Pay attention to this and after a while change the middle man.
- Ditto,
- Only now the middle man doesn't turn and we play the ball backwards.
- So 1 plays to 2,
- 2 plays backwards to 3 and
- 3 plays the ball to 1,
- 1 again to 2 etc. etc.
- Pay special attention to the position of the middle man!
- Again, pay attention to this.
- Player A throws ball over the net.
- Player B or C passes ball to other player
- The other player quickly runs to the net and sets up the ball for the same player who passed.
- This player tries to get a pawn off the bench with overhand play or a hitting move.
- Change after 5 balls
Which pair or team has knocked off/handled the most pawns after X number of minutes?
- Player A throws ball over the net.
- Player B or C passes the ball over the net.
- The other player quickly runs under the net and sets up the ball for the same player who passed.
- This player tries to get a pawn off the bench with overhand play or a hitting move.
Which pair or team has knocked the most pawns off the bench after X number of minutes?
On your own:
- Throwing the ball straight up above your head. Using legs and arms. Catch the ball.
- Keep the ball in the air, it doesn't matter how. Let's get it warm.
- Play the ball 5x (or more) with overhand technique
- Play 5x (or more) the ball with underhand technique
Per 2 players:
- 10x throwing and catching the ball with overhand technique
- Throw the ball correctly 10 times, the other player plays it back overhand. And vice versa
- Pass the ball correctly 10 times, the other player returns underhand. Vice versa.
Play the ball overhead:
- Throw the ball from above your head using arm and legs straight up. Catch the ball.
- Keep your hands above your head at all times
- Catch the ball
- arms 'spring in
- and throw/play straight up by stretching arms
- etc
- 1 defender starts behind the back line - C plays high ball in the field - 1 comes in and plays overhead to S - S sets up backwards to 4 - attack straight ahead, attacker gets the ball - 1 becomes attacker and 2 defender
SETS UP THE BASKET (BLOCK IDEA)
- Player A throws/strikes the ball towards player C.
- Player C passes the ball to player B.
- Player B sets up the ball.
- Player C attacks.
Goal: try to attack/play 3rd ball on the mats (straight or diagonal).
After each ball move one place in your own group.
Extension: When there are enough players one could also choose to place a block.
- Row of players A (+- 4 players) in the middle of the field with a ball
- Player 1 stands on midfield well thrown by first player from row A
- Player 1 plays ball overhand into the basket
- bend elbows
- extend elbows and point to ball
- bend elbows
- Player at the basket takes off and goes into line A.
3 players at the net at equal distance from each other (1, 2, 3, 4).
3 players on the backline (A, B, C, D).
- Player A plays BH to player 1,
- player 1 plays BH back,
- player A plays BH to player 2,
- player 2 plays BH back,
- etc.
The moment player A plays to player 2, player B starts playing BH to player 1, etc.
- 3 teams 1 ball.
- A and B stand at the net and C stands opposite A on the back line.
- A plays ball to C, C plays BH diagonally to B.
- Meanwhile A moves opposite B and then A plays the ball BH to C.
- After 20 x passes turn over
Divide players in pairs with a net in between and a ball for each pair:
1. first throw and catch overhead (20x). After that bounce the ball under the net (20x).
2. Player 1 throws, 2 plays back overhead. Then runs to the backline to touch it and gets another ball. 15x then change.
3. Player 1 throws a ball from 2 meter line, player 2 is ready at the net to block. After the block sprint to the backline to tap the ball. 15x then change.
4. Player 1 (now standing in front of the net) throws a ball to player 2 on the backline. Player on backline passes back underhand, runs to the net, taps it and runs back to backline. 15x after that change.
5. finally play over together.
