Volleyball drills

  • There's a line behind the back line of the field,
  • The #1 comes forward, who passes the ball to the front centre (trainer) and shuffles to the back right,
  • There they get another ball (harder). This one must also be passed to the trainer.
  • When this doesn't work, pick up the ball and give it to the trainer.

  • You play a normal game, but you add something extra.
  • Each team gets one mission to accomplish, if successful the team gets five or three extra points.

    • Examples for CMV-teams are playing 3x overhead, making a point in the corner of the court, etc.
    • Examples for youth teams and senior teams are 3x playing with one arm, scoring via the block, etc.
  • Each player has a tennis ball in the non-striking hand.
  • Make an attack pass, where the tennis ball must be picked up in the batting hand at the last moment with arms stretched
  • and thrown over the net into the opposite court.
  • Speed ladder is from the back line towards the net, in the middle of the field.
  • Players move every round with a different movement pattern for the footwork through the speed ladder towards the net, then a block at position 3, move to position 2 or 4 (alternate) and a block again there.
  • Then immediately step out to the defensive position on the 3-m line (with the cross move, immediately adopt a low stance and weight on the front feet).
  • After the defensive position there are two options: either shuffle backwards towards the baseline or make a dive/roll towards the baseline. Optionally, an attack pass can be made towards the net first (with movement to the starting position for the attack pass).
  • Depending on the team and their fitness level, increase the number of rounds the players have to make.
  • The coach places a ball on the halfway line.
  • On both sides of the net stands a team behind the backline.
  • The players must try, by throwing/rolling balls against the ball on the half way line, to get the ball over the back line of the other team.
  • The defending players can only stop the ball by throwing/rolling against it.

    • 1 with ball at the net,
    • 1 without ball on the backline flat on belly.
