• At the trainer's signal, the players run to the ball.
• The player who grabs the ball may keep it.
• The team that collects the most balls wins.

• Divide the group into pairs. One person from each pair starts at the net, the other on the baseline.
• The players on the baseline have a ball, possibly with a reserve ball.
• The players at the net perform a block jump.
• After the block jump, they immediately turn around and defend a ball from the baseline player.
• The ball can be tapped, hit, or played in a fast manner.

• Three players stand at the net with a ball.
• They alternate playing the ball short and long.
• Defenders move from right to left.

Objective

• The aim is to tactically place or hit the ball.

Execution

• Use tip balls at the middle position or hit the ball deep to position 1.
• Place hoops to simulate a constant block, which can later be replaced by an actual block.
• Replace cones at position 1 with a box over which the ball must fall, over the 'defender'.
• The coach hits or plays a ball in, which is first passed to the setter.
• The setter provides a set-up to the outside.
• The attacker chooses either a short tip ball to the middle position (where a hoop is placed) or aims for position 1 with a hit or quick overhead ball.

• Player 1 starts at the first cone.
• Move sideways around all the cones.
• After the last cone, sprint forward.
• The coach throws a ball around the 3-meter line.
• Pass the ball from a standstill position.

• If there are more than 6 players, set up the course twice.
• Have a teammate throw the ball in turns to reduce waiting time.
• Repeat the course twice.

• The trainer throws the ball to the setter.
• The setter delivers a set-up to the attacker.
• The attacker must hit the ball.
• The block must be well set by the outside blocker and middle blocker.
• The defence catches the ball.
• After 10 times, the players rotate positions.

• Teams stand on either side of the court behind the baseline.
• Pairs enter the court.
• The trainer introduces the ball into play.
• The pairs attempt to score underhand against the other pair.
• The winning pair remains on the court, while the losing pair joins the back of the line.

• The team with the fewest balls on the ground wins.

• 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.
• Place a speed ladder parallel to the sideline.
• Have the players perform a drill through the ladder before joining the line.
• Optionally extend with block jumps, attack passes, or strength exercises.

• The ball must not fall to the ground.
• Communication is essential.
• Optionally add a penalty if the ball falls to the ground.
• Alternate between underhand and overhand passing.

• Three players stand in the backcourt.
• The trainer stands at the net.

• Use different techniques: overhead, underhand, short, deep to the back.
• Vary in power: hard balls and soft balls.
• The ball may be played in two touches.

• Distribute the teams across both halves of the court.
• The coach throws the ball into play.
• The teams pass the ball to each other.
• Every player who has played the ball must touch the backline and then return to the court.
• Start first with catching and throwing. Once that goes well, proceed to real play using an overhead technique or underhand technique.

• Two servers at the service area, one receiver, one catcher.
• The server serves, the receiver passes the ball to the catcher, who catches the ball and rolls it back to the server.

• Same as static, but the player follows the ball.
• The server becomes the receiver, the receiver becomes the catcher, and so on.

• See four players.

• The server serves the ball and follows it.
• The receiver passes the ball to the catcher.
• The rightmost player becomes the catcher.
• The server shifts to the left.
• The catcher becomes the server.
• If this does not work, one receiver becomes a reserve.

This activity is fun to do and brings a lot of enjoyment and competition! Relays naturally involve competition. This activity also simulates the stress factor that comes with serving.

• The players are divided into equal teams and lined up at the serving area of the same side of the court.
• The first player of a team serves and retrieves their own ball.
• After tagging the next player, this player goes to serve, and so on.
• It is important for a player to serve quickly, but it must also be error-free, because otherwise the ball must be retrieved and served again!
• If the teams are small, it is fun to let everyone serve two or three times.
