Volleyball drills for technique setting / overarm technique

• Throwing the ball over the fence with pairs, overhead and underhand, meanwhile moving sideways:
  • Each pair a minimum of 6 times throwing and moving the ball sideways - 2 rounds.
  • Each pair to play the ball overhand at least 6 times - 4 rounds.
  • Each pair to play the ball underhand a minimum of 6 times - 4 rounds.
  • Each pair to play the ball with one arm at least 6 times - 1 round.
• When everything is over, start again until it's time.

• Organisation:
  • Training ring on p4.
  • Players in line on P1 and 1 player on p4.
  • Tr with ball pit on p5.
• Execution:
  • Tr throws on at P2.
  • Player runs in off p1 and plays the ball through the hoop on P4.
  • Catch and put in the bin.
• Variation:
  • Tr on the other side and pass on p5.
  • Now after the pass a setup through the hoop.

• 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.

• Players start on the three-metre line in pairs facing each other.
• One player has the ball.
• At 6 meters from the net there is a cone behind each player.
• Players do a control key and then pass the ball over the net.
• Then they run around the cone behind them.
• The same, but after passing the ball they dive to the cone and get ready again.

• Per trio.
• Player A does the control key and plays the ball over the net.
• Player B does reception, C stands at the net and taps the ball high over, then he dives through B's legs and they switch places.

• Four players stand in a square, play around and turn their bodies well in the direction you are playing to.
• Play anti-clockwise, making sure the right foot is in front

• Individual exercise to improve ball feeling with one hand.
• Each player has 1 volleyball, mini volleyball, tennis ball, juggling ball (or for advanced players a non round object; a light plastic container or light bottle for example, but can be used with anything).
• The goal of the players is to keep the ball in the air by hitting it as many times as possible with only one hand.
• Have the players count how many times they can do this per the 2 minutes per task.
• Possible assignments:
• - Underhand lobsmash
• - Over your head
