Volleyball drill: service and defense

• Besides technique, communication is also important in volleyball.
• And both aspects also apply to this exercise.
• And reacting adequately to situations which go differently than normal.
• In such an exercise you can see very well how different players are.

• Three players line up to pass (numbers 3, 4 and 5)
• Player 2 stands ready at the side of the same field of play. The other players stand ready with ball to serve on the other side.

• Player 1 serves the ball (and then immediately walks to where player 2 is already standing).
• A player passes the ball. Another player gives a setup. And the third player plays the ball over the net. All three players must play the ball, either a pass, or a setup, or an attack.
• Once the ball is over the net, the players turn: 2 goes into the court (where 3 was first) 3 goes to mid-back, 4 goes to the spot of 5 and 5 goes the serving spot of the other half.
• Then the next player can serve, on the drawing this is player 8. Etc.

Necessary:

• 4 balls
• 7-8 players
