Volleyballexercises for technique serving

• Divide players into two groups: Passers (Liberos, DS, and Outsides) and Servers.
• Passers form the receiving line.
• Servers are divided into two lines and must alternate lines at all times.

• The drill starts with a topspin serve from the box by a coach or player.
• Followed by a serve from zone 1 and a serve from zone 5.
• Serves alternate between these zones.
• Passers must pass the ball to the target in zone 3.
• After 9 serves, the receiving line rotates.

• Instead of a target in zone 3, position setters to set the ball to targets in zones 4 and 2.

• Establish responsibility zones for each player on the reception line for serves originating from different zones of the court.

• Form pairs with one ball per duo.
• The trainer places cones in different colours in the middle of the court, as many as there are pairs.
• Always aim at a specific side of the cone, the trainer indicates which side:
  • Right of the cone
  • Straight ahead
  • Left of the cone
  • Diagonal
  • In front of the cone (short)
  • Behind the cone (deep)
• For a successful task: move the cone 1 metre to make the area smaller.
• For an unsuccessful task: move the cone 0.5 metres back to make the area larger.
• Challenge: Bring your cone as close as possible to the respective line of the court.
• Execution: 5 minutes of serving.
• The pair with the smallest area after this time is the winner.

• Divide the group into two teams.
• The trainer is positioned on the side of the passers and catches the passes.
• Team A starts with serving, and Team B will be passing.
• After 15 points, switch the servers and passers.
• The trainer will now also catch passes on the other side of the net.

• Good serve that scores: +1 point.
• Good pass that is caught by the trainer: +1 point.
• Faulty serve that goes out or into the net: -1 point.
• Faulty pass: -1 point.

• Short serve towards cones.
• From the bench to two courts.
• Four positions for quick step.

• Players perform a short serve towards the cones.
• After the serve, they quickly move to the next position with a quick step.

• Work in pairs with one ball and the net in between.
• Start at the 3-meter line and serve gently to each other.
• Focus on the toss and concentration.
• Increase the distance if successful.
• If the ball can be caught, increase the distance again.
• If the ball falls, move one meter forward.

• Divide the team into two groups. Each group takes position on one side of the net.

• One side serves, while the other side positions three players as receivers.
• The receivers attempt to pass the ball upwards and catch it on their own side.
• Servers take turns serving.
• After each catch, a new receiver enters the field for the one who caught the ball.
• Play until 10 points are reached.
• The servers score a point if the ball is not caught.
• The receivers score a point if the ball is caught.
• An incorrect service does not count.
• After one round, the teams switch sides.
• In the second round, they play with two receivers instead of three.

• Serving is done simultaneously on both sides (or as simultaneously as possible).
• The defender provides the pass towards the setter position (position 3).
• At the setter position (position 3), the ball is caught.
• Players move along the blue lines.
• For larger teams, players can be added to the waiting area.
• With more than 10 players, the speed of the exercise is lost.

• Ensure good serve reception.
• Serves must be straight, but the server should aim to score.
• The passer is not well-trained if they only receive easy balls during training.
• The serving pressure can naturally be increased during the exercise.

• Form two teams where each player has a ball.
• After the starting signal, three extra balls are thrown into the field.
• Only overhand serves are allowed.
• When the time stops, everyone releases all the balls.
• The team with the fewest balls on their side wins.

• Three servers stand on one side of the net.
• On the other side, there are two lines with the remaining players.
• One player from each line enters the court, so there are a total of two players on the court.
• The servers take turns serving.
• The two players on the court pass the ball to the other player.
• That player sets the ball, after which the third ball goes over the net.

• Place a mat randomly in each court.
• A group is ready to serve on both sides.
• Serve the ball onto the mat.
• Follow your ball and join the line on the opposite side.
• Try to hit the mat as often as possible.

• Players should try to stand as close to the backline as possible.
• If they are unsuccessful, they may stand closer to the net.

• 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.
