Volleyball drills for technique setting / overarm technique
Some variations on the well known butterfly...:
- Service-pass-catch on SU-position, running after the ball.
- As everyone is chasing his/her ball, each player has a different task, but if desired, a player can have a fixed position.
- Variation 1:
- The SU plays a set-up to position 4, where an attacker stands to play a (placed) attack on the receiver.
- The rotation then becomes: Service -passer -upper - attacker - off-side - service etc.
- Variation 2:
- the fixed SU plays a ball to a receiver 'somewhere' in the field, who makes himself known by calling 'here'.
- The SU learns to react on sound, the receiver learns to communicate his position.
- Variation 3:
- The fixed SU plays the pass backwards to position 2, where the receiver, after an attacking movement, catches the ball and starts serving.
- In the diagram is variation 1
- 3 players in the middle play overhand for themselves.
- 2 players outside also play overhand for themselves.
- The outside players run around it.

- 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.

- Everything is allowed in terms of technique. This is easily adapted to volleyball, where after 3x games the ball may be played into a hoop.
- After that it is the other team's turn.
