Volleyballexercises for u15

• 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.
