Volleyball drills for technique attack / smash / spike / hitting

• Balls often don't land neatly on the aerial as the attackers would like, they stay hanging/ out of the net/ or outside the aerial.
• Execution:
• The players receive a ball and learn to correct it.
• ^1st pass is always used the same.
• ^2nd and^3rd passes will be used to correct.
• Balls will be thrown in underhand in the following positions.
• Position 1 Out of the net: -> player must stay behind the ball.
• Position 2 Hangs on: -> player must accelerate to the inside
• Position 3: outside the aerial: -> player must step outside
• Get behind the ball
• - So that you can hit the ball diagonally in front of you.
• Players can throw the ball in themselves or at one side through the trainer.
• step 1) catch the ball from the run-up
• Point of attention: get behind the ball well, do not hover, keep making the attacking pass.
• step 2) attack

• Continued from Correction in attack pass - at lesser set up
• Player falls on lesser set up- stays hanging/out of net/out of aerial.
• set-up is given either on position 2 or 4
• The defense adjusts its view to the angle of the attack.
• phase 1: without blocking - defend the ball from being hit freely
• phase 2: with blocking attention on the defense position - one of the attackers goes on the ball
• one of the attackers is going to block on the middle position.

• field is divided in 2 parts
• on side 1 are 1 playmaker, the libero and the middle attackers
• on side 2 are the other players
• there are on each side 1 attacker and 1 blocker and a server.
• depending on the number of players there is 1 passer or 2 passers.
• the purpose of this exercise is to get in agreement with the distributor which ball you want to play.
• With the middle players we will practice on the 'rise' balls and other variations such as the 'neck'.

• 2 playmakers who alternately set uppen
• 2 passers.
• The person who does not pass attacks.
• Communicate well whether the ball should go outside or back.
• The rest stands behind the field and takes the place of the attacker.
• extend with blocking

• Control the ball 6 points in a row.
• Formation with 6 players.
• Trainer throws in the ball and the players have to finish 6 balls in a row.
• Rotation - after each good ball you turn, otherwise you stay standing and the score is 0 again.
• Extension: instead of throwing - save the rest of the team hard.

• 2 rows behind the back line.
• First 2 stand in the field.
• Trainer brings in ball.
• Pass left player towards position 2/3 then setup of right player.
• The passer goes to attack on own side of the court.
• The setupper does attack coverage.
• The two teams rotate to form a new pair.
• Extension: There are now 2 attackers at the net.
• The rest do exactly the same as before.
• Attackers come back from the net after the coach has brought in the ball.
• The setup always goes to the opposite corner from the set-upper.
• Pass from the right back, then left back setup on the right front.
• Set-upper covers and takes the place of the attacker.
• The passer remains standing and so does the non-offending player.

• C attacks diagonally on 3 and 4- 1 and 2 after the block attack

• 3 and 4 defend, playmaker comes in

• set-up to 1,2 or 3, attack to 3 defenders.

• These defend for themselves and put the ball in the box.

• C throws a ball to A or B
• Set up a block on that side
• Pass the ball over the block to the defence
• Build up an attack on the middle
• Change after 10 balls
• Variation: attacking outside or behind

• 3x trio
• 2 threes play regular rally, also start with service.
• on the other side 3 players handle the service, and deliberately play a high underhand ball.
• team on the other side has to handle the ball by running well, the 2 outfielders have to go backwards, the passer calls loose, the midfielder calls high ball, and distributes the game.
• The 2 outfield players have already made a few steps to the back to assist with the high ball, and are thus ready to attack.

• 6 players on the opposite side of the field just play out the rally.
• On this side of the field the players are lined up on 2 and 4
• Trainer plays the ball up a few times in front of himself, so that the players do not know when it will come.
• They have to look good to be able to time the ball.
• Then the player attacks.

• In today's exercise, the following techniques will be used: serving, attacking, passing and distributing.
• However, the emphasis is on the pass and the distribution.
• The players have to watch, think well and react adequately during this exercise.

The diagram looks more complicated than the exercise is. The exercise goes as follows (I keep the numbering of the red numbers):

• 1 player 3 serves
• 2a one of the two playmakers runs to the position at the right front (the playmakers take turns)
• 2b one of the two passers (in this case player 2) passes the ball to the right front side
• 2c player 3 (who has just served) runs to the backline of the other half of the game
• 3 the server gives a setup to the player who did NOT pass. A setup to the centre if player 2 has passed and a setup to the outside if player 1 has passed.
• 4+5 the player who did not pass attacks (in this case player 1)
• 6a the attacker retrieves his own batted ball and joins the back of the line of serves.
• 6b the attacker's place is taken by the first player in the row behind the court.

As soon as the ball is struck the next service is executed.

• Group split into two groups of 5, field divided into two halves'.
• on each side a bench on the back line with cones on it. (opposite sides)
• 3 players leave on the back line, 1 reserve, 1 service on other side of the field.
• A serve is given to the three players: reception - pass - touch over net.
• when the player has played the ball the players walk to the side where the bench is: reception - pass - hit to the cones
• Which team hits the most cones off the bench?
