Volleyball drills for technique passing / defense / reception

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)

• Receptionist and striker on position 5

Trainer passes ball to reception player

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

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Passing and directed service practice, walk-through exercise, everyone runs after his ball, if you do not pass you stand, possibly expand the exercise by placing a playmaker on the 2/3 and have him give a setup backwards.
