Volleyballexercises for technique strength

• Shooting game where players pick a card after scoring. Each card has a suit: clubs, spades, hearts, or diamonds. Each suit corresponds to a fitness exercise.

• Hearts: Push-ups
• Spades: Squat
• Clubs: Burpee
• Diamonds: Lunges

• After picking a card, perform the corresponding exercise. The number of repetitions is equal to the value of the card. For example, Hearts 4 = 4 push-ups.
• After the exercise, one may continue shooting. The group with the most cards wins.

• Improve fitness and strength
• Warm-up

• Crack a code by completing different tasks

• Divide the group into two teams.
• The trainer creates a code consisting of ten digits, for example, (24 32 14 21 33).
• The players perform the devised exercises in a specific order. For instance, if they think the first digit is 3, they do exercise 3.
• After completing the exercise, they go to the trainer, who indicates whether the digit is correct or incorrect.
• If the digit is correct, they attempt to guess the next digit. If the digit is incorrect, they must perform another exercise, for example, exercise 4, to guess the correct digit.

• Exercise 1: 5 push-ups
• Exercise 2: Run the distance between the backline and the centreline three times

We stand in a large circle (+/- 8 to 10 players). We agree on an exercise for each player in the beginning of the year.

ORGANIZATION

To crack a code by carrying out various tasks

IMPLEMENTATION

You can play this game with any 4 exercises you can think of.

1. Divide the group into two or three. These are the teams that will do the assignments.
2. The trainer makes a code of ten digits e.g. (24 32 14 21 33)
3. The players will do the exercises in a particular order. For example; they think the first digit is 3, so they will do exercises 3. When they have done them, they will go to the trainer and he will say whether the number is right or wrong. If the number is right, they try to guess the next number. If the number is wrong they have to do another exercise, for example exercise four, to guess the correct number.

• Doing exercises like colored cones circles helps improve foot speed that’s incredibly important for a volleyball player.
• First of all, you should prepare randomly colored cones.
• You should also ask a coach (or friend) to assist you with this exercise.
• At the next stage, you need to place colored cones in the circle.
• Your goal is to create a circle that is 20 feet wide.
• Now, you need to stand in the center of the circle.
• The job of a coach (or friend) is to pick one of colored cones for you.
• So, you will need to approach to the appropriate cone as soon as possible and then return back to the circle’s center using a crossover step.

• Oftentimes, a volleyball player needs to jump off one leg during the game.
• It’s worth noting that this type of jumping is done by both attackers and defensive volleyball players.
• That’s the reason why athletes should do single leg bound exercise regularly.
• Actually, this volleyball exercise has many great benefits.
• First and foremost, doing single leg bound helps volleyball players succeed in jumping off one leg.
• On the other hand, this exercise helps a volleyball player gain the confidence that he/she needs to do this type of jumping.
• The exercise also positively affects a volleyball player’s hip as well as hip flexor and quads.
• It’s crucial for volleyball players to do single leg bound exercise the right way.
• When jumping off one leg you should try to keep your opposite knee up as high as it’s possible.

GOAL

Improve condition and power + warming up

ORGANIZATION

Crack the code by doing various exercises

EXECUTION

You can play this game with each 4 exercises you can come up with.

1. Divide group in two teams which are going to do the exercises.
2. The trainer makes a 10-digit code for example (24 32 14 21 33)
3. The players will do the devised exercises in a certain order. For example: they think that the first digit is 3, so they will do exercise 3. When they have finished this exercise, they go to the trainer who tells if the digit is correct or wrong. If the digit is correct, they try to guess the next digit. If the digit is incorrect, they will have to do another exercise, for example exercise 4, to guess to correct digit.

For example
Exercise 1: 5 times pumping
Exercise 2: run the distance between the end line and the middle line three times
Exercise 3: 5 times blocking at different places/positions
Exercise 4: 1 slide dive towards the sideline, another slide dive towards the end line

The pair that cracks the code first, wins.
