Beachvolleyball drill: precision attack
Precision attack
Objective:
- The goal is to separate the elements and deliver quality.
- Pass the ball to the desired position.
- Then getting into an attacking position, and executing the hitting technique.
- Hereby preparation for the jump and reach is essential.
Execution:
- Two sides of the net are used.
- Player 1 stands at one side of the net, throws up the ball and hits it to player 2, who stands in a service-pass position.
- It is important to use the right technique when hitting the ball.
- Player 2 passes the ball to the trainer.
- Pay attention to the passing to the desired set position.
- The trainer catches the ball and throws it immediately in a perfect setup (start with a 1m set which contains a peak).
- Player 2 gets into position for the attack, and attacks in a specific area (use pawns as targets).
- After the attack, the player advances to the serving position.
- After player 1 hits the ball he joins behind the line of passers/attackers.
Adjustments
- Initially the direction of attack is "only" right or left.
- As the exercise progresses, the goal can be made smaller and more accurate.
- The ball can also be thrown in instead of hit by player 1.
- Give player 1 a more specific assignment.
- Use the distributor instead of the trainer who catches and throws the ball.
- Make attack zones smaller to increase the precision needed.
- Build up the attack from the service and attack with a defense.
