Volleyball drills for technique warming-up

• Four players make a large square.
• In the middle is E.
• These players are the link between two triangles.
• In both triangles the ball goes around.
• And E plays the ball overhead in those two triangles.
• With more than one player, change corner players.
• Variant 1: E can choose to whom he passes the ball back.
• Variant 2: The corner players play overhand to each other, but underarm to E.

• Three players stand in a triangle.
• The one who does NOT get the ball moves to the opposite side next to the other player.
• Again, the one who does not get the ball moves.
• Start simple by first playing the ball up in front of yourself and then serving one of the other two players.
• The one who does not get the ball moves to the other side
• Later on, make it more difficult by taking away the play-up part
• Finally, you pass in front of yourself and hit the ball in a controlled way.
• Super exercise for getting very tired very quickly.

• Make two teams and two goals from cones.
• The ball has to stay low to the ground so sit low and then play the ball with your flat hand.

• Four players, three of whom make a large triangle.
• One player stands in the middle.
• The ball is played by someone from the triangle to the middle.
• This middle player plays one of the other two players in the triangle.
• One player from the triangle who does NOTHING must now switch with the middle player.

Basic exercise:

• Trainer throws ball, player catches ball and puts it in the cart.
• After this the player goes to the ladder. Here he goes through it and joins the next row.

Differentiation/Extension:

• Throwing the ball in a difficult way (left and right, front and back).
• Playing underhand and catching for themselves.
• Two players stand ready next to each other and have to call loose.
• A setupper comes on and has to catch the underhand ball.
• An attacker arrives and has to play the ball from the setupper over the net.

Players enter the field in pairs (or trios). Each pair or trio has a ball.

First exercise:

• Ball is hit into the field by one duo or trio.
• The others try to pass the ball on in 3 contacts.
• If the ball is played to the player who is already holding the ball, this player must throw the ball to another player.
• Goal = 10 points.

Second exercise:

• Same principle as in the first exercise; but this time the ball must be overplayed with the ball they already hold.
• (Bounce/push the ball against the ball). Goal = 10 points
