Volleyball drills for technique passing / defense / reception

• On both sides of the field 2 players come in.
• There is a pass, setup and attack (from 3 meter line).
• When side A has attacked, these two players circle off and two new ones come in.
• Side B defends the attack by the same pass-setup-attack, these players go to the back line and two new players enter.

• Player starts serving, straight through, on the other side a defender is passing.
• The passer passes to the trainer.
• After service the player runs directly to position 5, where the trainer throws a ball for passing at 2-3.
• Fixed playmaker, gives set-up on the outside.
• After passing, the player makes an attack.
• 2 blockers, defense behind the block and defense at left back.

RUNNING ROUTE:

• The attacker becomes outside blocker.
• Outside blocker becomes inside blocker.
• Inside blocker goes to defend behind the block.
• Defender behind the block starts defending at left back.
• The left back picks up the ball and connects with the servers.

• Preparation:
  • Hang a ribbon from the net at the spot where the playmaker wants the ball in his hands.
  • The ribbon is the target for the passers.
• Three passers stand in the backfield and one player stands at the net.
• The passers are served continuously, and the servers MUST score.
• (low over the net and as deep as possible; when the passers change their position, the servers have to react to that).
• A pass is sent to the server who taps the ball through, gives a set-up or catches the ball (in case of a pass that cannot be handled).
• The trainer intercepts the set-up; if the exercise is going well, an attacker can be added.
• After 10 individual good passes a passer may change with a server of his choice.

• Organization:
  • Divide group into trios.
  • All on field A and trainer on field B.
• Implementation:
  • 1st trio enters the field for a service pass.
  • Trainer serves and the trio passes to p2/3 where one of the three catches the ball.
  • Then comes trio 2, etc.
  • Build out with setup and attack from position.
  • Still later 1 trio is defending and we play out the rally.

• Make 2 teams
• T (coach) throws ball to or serves on the straight.
• Action 1:
  • Player runs in and passes
• Action 2:
  • Player runs in and is ready for the set-up
• Action 3:
  • Player gives a pass to position 3
• Action 4:
  • Set-up at position 4
• Player tries to knock a pawn off the bench by smash.
• Pawn off the bench?
• Twosome gets 1 point.

• Learning to pass to playmaker (position 2) with movement towards the ball.
• Line up at position 1.
• Players there have a ball in their hands.
• Player A plays to player B at position 3.
• Player A moves sideways to position 6.
• Player B plays the ball back to position 6.
• Player A plays the ball (preferably) BH to the korf basket at position 2.
• Player B catches the ball and joins the line at position 1.
• Player C moves into position player B.
• Player A moves to player C's position, position 3.
• On the other side of the net you can practice the same.
• Later on, alternate with player instead of basket, place of throw, position of return and position of pass.
• To learn to always pass to the distributor.
