Volleyball drills for technique setting / overarm technique

• 2-2
• Play all in 3
  • catch throw OH (pass)
    • arms outstretched
  • catch throw BH (setup)
    • hold the ball up over your head
    • Point the ball with your arms outstretched
  • BH over the net
    • stretch all joints
• Played or thrown over the net:
  • change places
  • turn around each other, back to your own spot
  • both tap a pawn (near the net poles)
  • Lie on the ground, the other one over it
• First working together (on which field is the first to get it right 7 times in a row)
• then against each other (who has 5 points first - or 5 minutes)

2 balls, 3 players at the net 1,2,3

after 20 balls for SV 1 position change

• s1 walks to the middle of the field
• throws/plays the ball to s2 (SV)
• SV gives setup to left front
  • this can also be catch and throw
• S1 catches setup on the left front side
• s3 runs back to midfield
• and throws the ball to SV who gives setup (possibly catch and throw) to the right front.
• S3 runs to the right front and catches the ball.
• Pay attention: all movements of s1 and s3 are facing the net.
• When the exercise is going well, you can start using more and more techniques. BH instead of throwing in etc

• make a number of fields. e.g. 6 half fields
  • one plays 1-1
• let everyone play the same match
  • eg 1-1 catch + bra
  • who has 2 points first
• one outside field is field 1, other outside field is field 6
• the winners advance 1 space towards field 6
• the losers move 1 space towards field 1
• winner on 6 remains standing
• loser on 1 stays on

In this way you can differentiate nicely:

• on field 5 and 6 come up with more difficult variations:
  • throwaway move with 3x BH or
  • OH + BH
  • After playing ball move over back line and back.

• 3 teams
• 1 at the net
• other 2 on 2 sides in the back of the field
• B throws ball at A
• B passes under the net
• A plays the ball UNDER HANDS to C
• C plays the ball UNDER HAND to B
• B catches the ball
• B throws the ball to C
• B passes under the net
• C over the net to A

• Exercise bra.
• Pass over. 1 or 2x for yourself, then turn and play backwards.
• Stand close together.
• Is about control

• row of players with the trainer
• The first one pushes the ball into the trainer's hands.
• player stands in line left or right
• players can play BH and/or OH
• is about PLAY and DIRECTaction

If the exercise runs well:

• then the receiver can play the ball bra along the net
• Also run after your own ball again
• Receiver catches ball and joins in line with trainer

Play the ball overhand

• keep your hands above your head at all times
• catch the ball
• arms 'spring in
• and throw/play straight up by stretching arms
• etc

2 teams , 1 ball

• everyone plays ball individually BH against wall above a line
• players count each other
• keep score
• counts for the club of 100 BH
• do this exercise about 10 minutes

• With threes BH overplaying.
• Play 2 times and then chase your ball.

3 teams A B C

• A plays BH to B
• B plays BH backwards to C
  • The elbows are outwards when playing backwards.
• C plays BH to B
  • C has to play and stretch from the knees
• after 10x 1 spot turn

• Pay much attention to the following accents:
  • Make sure that the player stretches completely and points the ball 'behind'.
  • And when playing backwards, make sure the elbows are well apart and extended backwards as well.

• 2 teams
• overhead transfer
• first time for yourself up then to your teammate

• Divide the group in 4 and divide them equally over position 1,2,3 and 4.
• There they make rows
• Trainer throws ball to 1 (possibly hit ball as sign)
  • 2 runs to the middle (because the ball comes from 1)
• 1 plays to midfielder
  • after playing the ball 1 walks to row 2
• 2 plays the ball along the net
  • when the ball is played, 2 goes to line at 3
• at the moment that 2 touches the ball 3 runs to the net
• 3 plays the ball quietly over the net to 4
  • after play 3 connects with row 1
• 4 gives the ball to the trainer
• after a couple of rounds replace 4.
• PAY SPECIFIC ATTENTION TO:
  • playmaker right leg in front
  • body first in direction of 1 where the ball comes from
  • then the body turns through energy from the left foot along the net
  • eventually the knees point over the feet in the direction of play
• If necessary the next player in line 2 can check if the playmaker has his right foot in front during play.
  • If yes: then this one calls "GOOD".
  • If not: call out "FOOT".
  • (only do this if the exercise runs smoothly on its own)
