Volleyball drills

Blocker must look at the attacker

- C gives setup over the net to attacker 1 
- Blocker 2 should look at the attacker when he has to block.
- 3 , 4 and 5 defend
- 1 gets his own ball and 6 is the next attacker.
- after 5 changes

Variation: 2 block

Batting with a fixed distributor, we pay attention to our run-up.

The attackers get the assignment to score directly with their attack. The defence of course gets the assignment to prevent this.

The game is played with a fixed distributor. A number of attackers stand at one side of the playing field with a ball. They play the ball to the distributor, who gives a setup for the attacker to attack.

If the attacker scores, he goes back to the back of the line of attackers (as a reward). If the attacker does not score, he must defend. For that purpose, the following sequence is used: Attacker - A - B - C - D - Attacker.

At the defense A is the blocker.

Discuss clearly in advance what immediate scoring means: ball on the ground or also if there is no playable defense.

Required:

• fixed playmaker s
• row of attackers with ball plays ball to sv
• Set-up to attacker 1
• If attack scores, to the back of the row of attackers.
• Otherwise attacker 1 to A - B - C- D- attacker
• In defence: A = blocker, BCD= at the back

In this exercise, the attackers are instructed to score directly with their attack. The defence of course gets the assignment to prevent this.

Discuss clearly in advance what immediate scoring means: ball on the ground or also if there is no playable defense.

Required:

• fixed playmaker s
• row of attackers with ball plays ball to sv
• Set-up to attacker 1
• If attack scores, to the back of the row of attackers.
• Otherwise attacker 1 to A - B - C- D- attacker
• In defence: A = blocker, BCD= at the back

The purpose of the exercise is twofold: the defender must learn to 'read' where the attacker is going to hit and the attacker must look where the defence is before hitting.

We work with two regular playmakers, on both sides of the field a row of attackers on the left-for position. And two defenders, who may choose where they position themselves on the field. A defender has to defend the attack 10 times, preferably a nice pass, but touching is enough. If the attacker hits the net or leaves the field, that also counts. And the attackers may only smash, no prick balls! After the attack, the attacker retrieves the ball and joins the other row. The attacker who defends the ball at the 10th time takes the place of the defender. The defender will then of course attack.

Necessary:

• 8 - 10 players
• enough balls

If there are less players, the exercise can also be done, but then on one side. The attacker retrieves the ball and joins the same line.

The blocker joins in, indicates where he is going to block and the mid-back goes to his place.

• It is only allowed to play overhand
• Before the ball goes over the net each player must have hit the ball once (so in total the ball is played 3 times).
• A goal can only be scored inside the 3-meter line. If the ball falls outside the field, or behind the 3-meter line, it is a point for the opponent.
• 
  

Nice exercise to learn to place the ball overhead within the 3-meter range and to play your teammates with precision overhead.

The one who makes a mistake is replaced by the reserve.

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

• Player 1 serves the ball (and then runs straight to where player 2 is already standing).
• A player passes the ball to the server on position 2/3. The server gives a setup. And the third player plays the ball over the net.
• When the ball is over the net, the players turn: 2 enters the field (where 3 stood before) 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.

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

3 players position for passing (numbers 3, 4 and 5). Player 2 is ready on the side of the same side. The other players are ready with the ball to serve on the other side.

• Player 1 serves the ball (and immediately walks back to where player 2 is standing).
• A player passes the ball. Another player sets up. And a third player plays the ball over the net. All three players have to play the ball, or pass, or set up, or attack
• When the ball is over the net, the players rotate: 2 enters the field (where 3 was standing) 3 goes to centre back, 4 goes to where 5 was standing, and 5 goes to the serving spot on the other side.
• Then the next player can serve, player 8 on the drawing etc.

Necessary:

• 4 balls
• 7-8 players

 4 calmly attacks on 3 over the block of 1 and 2
- 3 passes to SV
- 1 turns after block and attacks through middle
- 4 blocks
- 2 and 3 attack cover.

Variant: idem on the left ; idem the right

- 1 and 2 hold the net
- C plays ball in back field
- 1 defends on 2
- 2 sets up on 1 
- 1 hits to left or right back
- 3 and 4 the next

Blocker has to watch attacker

- C sets up over the net to attacker 1
- Blocker 2 has to watch attacker for when to block.
- 3 , 4 and 5 defend
- 1 gets own ball, and 6 is the next attacker
- change after 5 times

Variant: 2 block

-

• 
  1 raise, pass to S
• S set-up at 3 meter on one of the passers
• idem other side
• rally
• serve from the side where the ball hits the ground
