Volleyball drills for technique warming-up

  • Make pairs. Each pair has 2 tennis balls.
  • Player 1 holds arms extended outward with 1 tennis ball in each hand.
  • Player 2 stands about 1 meter in front of player 1.
  • Player 1 drops 1 ball in a random order.
  • Player 2 must try to catch the ball as fast as possible to prevent it from falling on the ground.
  • Everyone is divided over the room.
  • Then everyone takes 2 persons in mind and gives these persons and themselves a number. 1, 2 or 3.
  • The player must now make sure that he is standing in a straight line with these 2 players (in order 1-2-3).
  • But everyone has other players in mind so chaos ensues and the players must work together to find a solution.

Make two teams. These players face each other with a ball in the middle on the ground.
The trainer takes turns calling out something for the players to do. This can be :

  • Head (tap head)
  • Shoulders (tap the shoulders)
  • Knee (tap the knees)
  • Toe (tap toes)
  • Ball (grab the ball)


The pairs compete against each other, trying to get the ball as quickly as possible and win.
