Volleyball drills

Some variations on the well known butterfly...:

• Service-pass-catch on SU-position, running after the ball.
• As everyone is chasing his/her ball, each player has a different task, but if desired, a player can have a fixed position.
• Variation 1:
  • The SU plays a set-up to position 4, where an attacker stands to play a (placed) attack on the receiver.
  • The rotation then becomes: Service -passer -upper - attacker - off-side - service etc.
• Variation 2:
  • the fixed SU plays a ball to a receiver 'somewhere' in the field, who makes himself known by calling 'here'.
  • The SU learns to react on sound, the receiver learns to communicate his position.
• Variation 3:
  • The fixed SU plays the pass backwards to position 2, where the receiver, after an attacking movement, catches the ball and starts serving.
  • In the diagram is variation 1

1. Players play ball over net to position 1, pass back.
2. Passer runs around 1st pawn for a second pass (turn in/arms tilt)
3. Passer runs around 2nd pawn and defends ball from trainer (smash or place ball) and retrieves ball and connects with players (A).

Rotation
:- pass to (A) over the net-
at position 2/3 pass to 2, catch ball and put it in ballcarrier-
passer 2x + defend and fetch ball-
pass to (A)



.

Blockboard at position 4 - street (two squares next to the antenna) - cone on 3 meter line

• Lene at position 3
• Receptionist at position 5 and attacker at position 4
• Attacker joins reception

Trainer passes ball to reception player

• Reception to setter
• Walk around cone
• Solve ball to play over net

Bad reception = compulsory play in block board

• Position 5 takes cover
• Play ball back to setter
• Pass and attack

Blockboard at position 4 - street (two squares next to the antenna) - cone on 3 meter line

• Lene at position 3
• Receptionist and striker on position 5

Trainer passes ball to reception player

• Reception to setter
• Walk around cone
• Solve ball to play over net

Two groups - 1 catcher at position 3 - trainer at other side with cart to pass ball to

• 1 hurdle at position 1 on backline
• 1 hurdle at position 5 on backline
• 2 hurdles in front of each other - one at the same height as hurdles 1 and 5, one hurdle 1m behind

Jumping over hurdle for player - quickly backwards diagonally and jump over two hurdles

• Come from position 5 - ball arrives at position 5
• Come from position 1 - ball arrives at position 1

Reception play to catcher - reception player becomes catcher - catcher puts ball in cart - catcher becomes booking

OBJECTIVE:

• Trainer knocks to start on ball = sign that player may start jumping
• Don't knock anymore = next player starts when previous player is over 2nd hurdle
• Ball must land perfectly on position 3
• Presence of many players = high tempo of the exercise

This exercise is incorporated into each workout and the numbers are gradually increased

• Sit-Ups
• Crunches
• Leg Raises
• Plank

• The aim is for the team to pass to position 3 (midfield).
• Place a mat at this position.
• One person stands on the mat to catch balls.
• Team line-up on one side of the field.
• Rest + trainer on other side.
• Team members of trainer serve ball, pass correctly (person on mat must be able to set up ball with both feet on mat) = point for passer. Pass wrong is change of person who passes wrong with server.
• After a few minutes/balls rotate positions.
• If necessary, trainer throws really balls in the field. Possible to extend game with set-up and play over net.

• Play a game of volley tennis against each other.
• At lower levels the ball is allowed to bounce once, at higher levels it can be played in one go.
• As soon as you lose a point you have to run circles around the court.
• Until 2 remain, these play a final.

• The attack is from the outside.
• The intention is to attack in the direction of the mats.
• It's also possible to jump in the hoops.
• Players come in from position 1.

• The players are in pairs, one player on each side of the net.
• Both players have a ball.
• One player throws the ball underarms with outstretched arms over the net and the other rolls the ball under the net to the other side.
• Extension: play a key to catch the ball and roll it under the net again.
• Catch the ball with a key and roll it to the opposite side of the net.
• You can extend this exercise and make it more difficult.

• Player A starts from a sitting position on a chair, slightly bent over.
• Player B throws the ball low.
• This is played back to A from the chair so shoulders are already forward and low.
• After the first ball turn around and sit on the chair just behind it, idem with player C who also throws a ball low.

• 4 Swedish benches are placed in a square.
• A maximum of balls are placed in the square.
• 2 or 3 players stand in the square and try to throw as many balls as possible out of the square during one minute.
• The other players of the team run after the balls and throw them back into the square.
• After one minute the team checks how many balls are still in the square.
