Volleyball drills for technique passing / defense / reception

• Player A throws ball over the net.
• Player B or C passes the ball over the net.
• The other player quickly runs under the net and sets up the ball for the same player who passed.
• This player tries to get a pawn off the bench with overhand play or a hitting move.

Which pair or team has knocked the most pawns off the bench after X number of minutes?

• Exercise in competition form, 2 teams of 3 players against each other.
• 3 contacts before the ball is played over the net.
• First contact is OH reception, second contact may be played with replacement technique (unlike normal first contact).
• Replacement technique goes to SV.
• SV makes high pass, which is tested over.

• 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'.

• Trainer stands in the corner of the field at the net.
• Two teams, one player on each side of the coach.
• Trainer bounces the ball in the field, two players have to get the ball to the distributor.
• Pay attention to the turn in pass attitude and I-call.
• (If all goes well, distributor can give set-up to trainer or player of team).

• 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

• 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.

• Five players at the net with a ball...
• 2 on pos, 2 --- 1 on pos. 3 --- 2 on pos.4
• Rest without the ball on position 5
• Pos. 2 hits the first defender on pos. 5, who runs in for a defensive ball on pos. 6 and with a shuffle to pos.
• 1 to defend a batted ball from pos. 4.
• Pos 2 and 4 take turns hitting.
• Defenders continue to defend.

Basic exercise:

• Trainer throws ball, player catches ball and puts it in the cart.
• After this the player goes to the ladder. Here he goes through it and joins the next row.

Differentiation/Extension:

• Throwing the ball in a difficult way (left and right, front and back).
• Playing underhand and catching for themselves.
• Two players stand ready next to each other and have to call loose.
• A setupper comes on and has to catch the underhand ball.
• An attacker arrives and has to play the ball from the setupper over the net.

• 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?

• Split the group into pairs.
• The pairs will work through a number of stations, where different tasks have to be performed.
• Station 1: A slalom through several poles, with an underhand pass at the end of the slalom.
• Move as fast as possible between the poles.
• Station 2: One player lies down on the backline, while the other stands at the net with the ball.
• Player at the net hits the ball.
• Player in the backfield then stands up, and defends a hit ball at 7 meters, or a prik ball at the 3 meter.
• Station 3: Player stands in front of a trampoline, behind player 1 stands a second player with 2 tennis balls.
• One tennis ball is thrown into the trampoline, player 1 catches it before it hits the ground.
• The second tennisball is thrown quickly after it.
• Station 4: Simple, good block jumps, paying attention to the technique.
• Station 5: Reflex training: player stands with arms outstretched, a ball in each hand.
• Player 2 faces the other player, and reacts to the release of one of the balls.
• Do not make the distance between players too great to begin with.
• Each station has a working time of 1 minute.

• 1 player with ball at the net, 2 without ball on the 3 meter line.
• Nets player plays ball BH halfway the field and no.1 shuffles backwards and plays back BH.
• Then no.2. etc.
• Change 3 times after that
