Volleyball drills

• Make two teams and provide two thick mats.
• The goal is to push the thick mat with your team to the other side.
• After each push you have to return to the starting line.
• So the smartest thing to do is to make a run for it with your whole team and push against the mat at the same time.

• Make two teams.
• The goal is to get the ball to the other side of the line.
• You do this by standing in plank position and then pushing the ball to the other person who is standing further down in plank position.
• Then you run to the front and stand in a holding position and wait for the ball to come.
• The team that gets to the other side first wins.

• Exercise with two blockers, opposite each other at the net, and a defender.
• The ball is thrown in just over the net edge.
• The task of the blocker on the opposite side is to score with two hands above the net in one of the hoops you have placed at the side lines.
• The blocker and defender on their own side agree on which side they will block and defend (think beach volleyball).

• Put 6 hoops down, on the 6 positions. (P1 t/m 6).
• Make 2 fair teams, easiest is from 4 players per team.
  • One person from each team starts in the hoop at position 1.
  • The rest of the team stands with a ball on the other side of the hoop, behind the back line and vice versa.
  • As soon as the trainer indicates it, both teams start serving on the hoops.
  • The person standing in the hoop tries to catch the service without stepping out of the hoop.
  • When a service is caught, the person who served the ball moves to position 2, to catch the ball in the hoop.
  • The person who was in position 1 goes to his own backline to serve.
• The team that catches the ball first at position 6 is the winner.
• Important is to concentrate on a good service every time.

• The goal of this exercise is to tactically put away or hit the ball.
• This by means of a tap ball on midmid, or a ball deep on position 1.
• By using baskets you can create a 'constant' block, which eventually can be replaced by a real block.
• The pawns at position 1 can best be replaced by a cupboard, over which the ball must fall, over the 'defender'.
  • The trainer hits a ball, or plays a ball in, which is first passed to the distributor,
  • the playmaker gives a set-up to the outside.
  • The attacker decides whether to try a short passed ball at midmid (where there is a hoop),
  • or looks for position 1 with a hit or a fast overhand ball.

• Play fanatically in pairs
• Make long series.
• Is that going well?
  • Try to hit the ball quietly every now and then.

• Coach throws from the net:
  • 3 players on the backline on their stomachs.
• Trainer hits the ball,
• 3 players stand up and trainer attacks/plays.
  • Nr. 1 of the trio defends,
  • No. 2 sets up and
  • No. 3 attacks
    • then next 3 team

• One player is tagged.
• When you are tagged, sit against the wall with one arm up. NOTE: legs in an angle of 90 degrees.
• When someone sits on your lap (=toilet) and "pulls" on your arm, you are free again.
• Change your ticker regularly.

• 1324321441
• 3423112434
• 2243121341
• 4132124321

• Make three pairs
• the middle one plays backwards.

• All on the back line
• two walk to the net

• 3 players out of 4
  • Trainer throws the ball to 5, they pass to 3 in turn, they play BH Set Up to 4 attack.
  • Players on 4 retrieve the ball. After 6 attacks turn around and chase the ball.
  • Variation. SV starts from position 4 or 2, runs to 3 for the Set Up.
