drawing Beach: short + deep placement + build up of defense

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.
  • Build an attack on one side;
  • The blocker stands in front of the attacker, pretends to jump and steps back;
  • The attacker plays a short ball over the blocker; the blocker defends the ball and the rally continues or the ball is scored.
  • When the attacker gets in the middle, you can train both ways.
  • The same when the attacker plays short diagonally
  • The blocker makes a step into the diagonal, pretends to jump and then runs to defend the diagonal ball.
