Beachvolleyball drills for technique setup / set-up

Pairs.
  • Player 1 hits controlled, easy, smash to fellow player.
  • Co-player passes the ball up the court.
  • Fellow player does a setup for himself.
  • Fellow player hits back again.
  • Pairs play the ball over with focus on technique.
  • First overhead.
  • Then underhand.
  • Then alternate.
  • Focus on height to gain time.

Each player has his own ball.

  1. The players will play the ball overhead for themselves.
    • coach says what they have to do
    • play forearms
    • Get down on your knees
    • Make a circle on your knees
    • Lie down and get up again
  2. With every exercise, you keep on playing
  • 1 Coach and 3 players are ready.
  • The coach serves the ball over the net.
  • A player passes, a player sets, a player catches.
  • After the completion they turn one spot.
  • A variable is to focus on pass and/or set and/or attack.
  • The more tasks the players are given, the harder the challenge becomes.
  • The simplification of these exercises can be found in having the players perform 'only' one task.

Adjustments

  • Throwing the ball in instead of serving.
  • Serve from different positions.
  • Making serving more difficult.
  • Passer and setter run in from different sides.
  • Set the ball in a basket.
  • 1 server, 1 passer, 1 playmaker, 1 finisher.
  • Between the passer and the setter an inverted triangle can be visualized.
  • The top of the triangle lies near the passer, the bottom against the net.
  • Start the exercise with an easier serve.
  • The pass should be sent to the corner of the triangle, which is the most middle of the court.
  • The setter sets the ball to the other end.
  • The distance between them is max 2 meters.
  • To work more accurately a standing basket can be used.
  • Continuation: Instead of a basket the coach plays the ball back to the passer, repeats and catches / plays out if necessary.
  • With 3 players use 1 passer and 2 setters; coach serves.
  • With 5 players you let 2 playmakers alternate.
  • With 6 players divide the game in two groups and use both sides of the court.


  • Work on the correct technique - turning in towards the post, before the set is given, helps with the execution.
  • The set should be given in a dynamic movement in the attacker's shoulder line.
  • The most common is to work with a standing leg (front leg) in a small lunge position with the legs initiating the set up.

Adjustments

  • The service of the 1st ball can be very easy so that the passer can deliver a good pass every time.
  • Increase the pass rush by making the service more difficult.
  • Have the setter start from a deeper point in the court.
  • Have the setter start from block position.
  • Vary set goals; increase the distance to the goal or decrease the goal, shift the goal per set.
  • Try to get 5 perfect passes and setups in a row.
  • Involve the partner in the exercise by giving feedback, or by having the ball attacked without a jump.
