Volleyball drills for technique warming-up

(the net must not be hung up yet in this exercise!)

  • Divide all children in pairs and each child lying on one side of the field. The children on side 1 lie on their stomachs and the children on side 2 on their backs.
  • All children from side 1 run to the other side and lay down next to their partner on their back.
  • As soon as this is done, the partner of side 2 can run to the other side, quickly lie down on his/her belly, touch the ground with his/her nose and run back to his/her own place. There lie down again on the back
  • The child who lies on the ground on the back must now return to his/her own place.


Who is first back on base?

  • this is an exercise in a kind of game form. In the opposite field a bench (or cupboard) has to be placed with a number of pylons standing on it.
  • Children stand divided:
    • in a line with the trainer with a ball in their hands (1);
    • at the mv position (2);
    • at the left front (side) position (3);
    • 2 children behind the bench/cabinet to catch the balls (4);
    • after play passing from 1 to 2 to 3 to 1
  • child 1 gives the ball to the trainer who passes the ball to child 2
  • child 2 gives a setup on the outside to child 3
  • child 3 plays the ball brace over the net and tries to get as many pylons off the bench as possible
  • after child 3 has played the ball, the ball is turned over.

back-and-forth

Condition, speed, reaction ability and making appointments

ORGANIZATION

ball-cannot-cross-the-line


IMPLEMENTATION

  • Trainer and a player roll balls into the field. These balls must not go over the outer lines of the field. If they do the team is out.
  • The team that has finished is going to provide balls and a new team is going to enter the field.
  • Start quietly and then slowly increase the pace.
  • It is also important that agreements are made so that they are not all after the same ball!

GOAL

Improve reaction time and speed + go for the ball

ORGANIZATION

Players have to grab balls

IMPLEMENTATION

  • Row 1 players ready to play ball
  • Row 2 players behind trainer with ball
    • Front pushes trainer ball in hand and joins row 1
  • Trainer throws ball into field and player from row 1:
    • Runs towards the ball, lets it bounce 1x, 1x OH and then catches it
    • Runs to the ball, lets it bounce 1x, 1x BH and then catch
    • Runs to the ball, let it bounce 1x, 1x OH, 1x BH and then catch
    • Runs to the ball, does not bounce, and touches it anyway : diving
  • Connect with ball in the back of line 2
  • High tempo and adapt to the player.

PURPOSE

Improve reactivity

ORGANIZATION

Each player stands in a square of pots

IMPLEMENTATION

4 pots for the first person, then 2 pots for each additional person

Each game is given a number (1, 2, 3, 4). Trainer calls out number. Players must tap this number as quickly as possible and return to the middle of the square.

At 'change' they move one square forward and the player in front moves to the square at the back.

PURPOSE

Improve fitness and warm up

ORGANIZATION

Run in circles

IMPLEMENTATION

Run in circles around the field(leave about 2m between them)

  1. when trainer claps 1 time - pump 1 time
  2. when trainer claps 2 times - sliding dive
  3. when trainer claps 3 times - tapping the net
  4. when trainer claps 4 times - sprint a whole circle around the field

A cloth is hung over the net so that the players cannot see the opposing team. In this way a rally is played.

Which team has the best reaction?

  • See picture.
  • Take turns throwing the ball.
  • After throwing the ball touch the back line and return to the same spot.
  • Throwing good?
  • Then everything underhand. Later all above hands.
