Volleyball drills

Emphasis is on technique OH, so start with throwing the ball, if this goes well you can switch to key, attack or serve.

1. R1 throws the ball over to R2
2. R2 passes OH the ball to P2 (can be placed on a mat, where he/she is not allowed to get off) (comes into BH position)
3. P2 passes BH to A2
4. A2 passes to R1
5. R1 passes OH the ball to P1 (may be placed on a mat, which he/she is not allowed to leave) (enters BH position)
6. P1 passes BH to A1
7. A1 plays to R2
8. ....

1. Trainer plays ball to passer
2. Passer gives BH pass to attacker
3. Attacker plays to the predetermined zones by means of a BH

Turn after every ball

Exercise can be made more difficult by placing a defence (block)

Exercise to control the reception movement:

per 2 players a ball + hoop

1. player A throws the ball in arc to player B with hoop
2. Player B tries to estimate where the ball will fall by putting down the hoop.

Points of attention:

1. Correct reception position
2. sinking through the knees

You can extend the exercise by playing reception with the hoop leaning on the ground.

• Person 1 (position 2) has the ball and throws it to person 2 (position 5),
• This person passes to the regular playmaker.
• He plays the ball to position 4.
