Volleyballexercises for u15

Objective
  • Shift focus and quickly switch between actions.
Execution
  • Create groups of three players with one regular volleyball and one tennis ball.
  • The player with the tennis ball is the juggler and stands in the middle.
  • Player 1 passes the volleyball to the juggler.
  • The juggler throws the tennis ball to player 1.
  • The juggler returns the volleyball to player 1, who throws the tennis ball back to the juggler.
  • Player 1 passes the volleyball to player 3.
  • Player 3 passes the volleyball to the juggler.
  • The juggler throws the tennis ball to player 3.
  • The juggler returns the volleyball to player 3 and receives the tennis ball back.
  • Repeat this cycle.
  • This requires concentration and quick switching from the players.
  • If no tennis balls are available, two volleyballs can also be used.
Execution
  • Work in pairs.
  • Player 1 stands with the ball on the baseline.
  • Player 2 stands without the ball at the net, facing the net.
  • Player 2 performs a block jump at the net (ensure a straight landing).
  • After landing, player 2 turns around and defends a short ball on the 6-metre line.
Execution
  • Start with passing the ball to each other.
  • Play the ball 1 or 2 times to yourself.
  • Then turn around and play the ball backwards.
  • Ensure you stand close to each other.
Objective
  • Focus on ball control.
Execution
  • Play with a partner, passing the ball overhead and underhand.
  • Add tasks after passing:
Tasks
  • Touch a line.
  • Put one knee on the ground.
  • Place both hands on the ground.
  • Turn around in a circle.
Execution
  • Serving is done simultaneously on both sides (or as simultaneously as possible).
  • The defender provides the pass towards the setter position (position 3).
  • At the setter position (position 3), the ball is caught.
  • Players move along the blue lines.
  • For larger teams, players can be added to the waiting area.
  • With more than 10 players, the speed of the exercise is lost.
Objective
  • Ensure good serve reception.
  • Serves must be straight, but the server should aim to score.
  • The passer is not well-trained if they only receive easy balls during training.
  • The serving pressure can naturally be increased during the exercise.
Execution
  • Work in pairs and play with enthusiasm.
  • Player 1 stands with a ball at the net.
  • Player 2 lies flat on their stomach behind the baseline without a ball.
  • The attacker hits the ball.
  • The defender defends at the 7-metre line.
  • Then, a short ball follows at the 3-metre line.
Execution
  • Two teams stand behind the three-metre line.
  • Defend the ball, perform a set-up, and attack from the three-metre line.
  • After playing the ball, sprint to the net.
Variation
  • Instead of a sprint: block at the net, dive to the back line, and perform an attack jump.
Execution
  • The entire team sits against the wall.
  • The first player runs from the wall to the net and back, then sits against the wall again.
  • Only then can the next player start running.
  • They may only stop once the entire team has run back and forth once.
  • Repeat the exercise, but replace sitting against the wall with planking.
Objective
  • Improve fitness and strength
  • Warm-up
Organisation
  • Crack a code by completing different tasks
Execution
  • Divide the group into two teams.
  • The trainer creates a code consisting of ten digits, for example, (24 32 14 21 33).
  • The players perform the devised exercises in a specific order. For instance, if they think the first digit is 3, they do exercise 3.
  • After completing the exercise, they go to the trainer, who indicates whether the digit is correct or incorrect.
  • If the digit is correct, they attempt to guess the next digit. If the digit is incorrect, they must perform another exercise, for example, exercise 4, to guess the correct digit.
Example Exercises
  • Exercise 1: 5 push-ups
  • Exercise 2: Run the distance between the backline and the centreline three times
  • Exercise 3: Block in different places/positions 5 times
  • Exercise 4: 1 sliding dive towards the centreline, another sliding dive towards the backline
Winning
  • The team that cracks the code first wins.
Execution
  • Divide the team into two groups. Have the players form two lines facing each other at the 3-meter line.
  • Players pass the ball over the net and then run around the net post to join the other group.
  • On one side, parallel to the sideline, there is an agility ladder. Players perform an exercise through the ladder before joining the line.
Variations
  • Expand with block jumps, attack approach, or strength exercises.
  • Alternate between underhand and overhand passing.
Important
  • The ball must not fall to the ground.
  • Communication is crucial.
  • Optionally, add a penalty if the ball falls to the ground.
drawing Warming up with ball and ladder
Execution
  • Line up about 4 players in the middle of the court with a ball.
  • Player 1 stands at the centre front and receives a good toss from the first player in line A.
  • Player 1 passes the ball overhead into the basket.
  • Note: bend the knees, extend the elbows, and follow through with the ball.
  • The player at the basket catches the ball and joins the end of line A.
Execution
  • Divide the players into pairs, facing each other at a marker.
  • On command, players move sideways to the sideline, each in a different direction.
  • Return to the opposite sideline and then back to the marker.
  • The player who touches the marker first wins.
  • The next pair starts immediately after the first round.
  • Ensure rotation within the pairs after each round.
  • If there are more than 9 players, set up the game in duplicate.
Note
  • This activity is also suitable for independent execution while preparing the next activity.
