Volleyball drills for technique serving

• 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.

• Working in 2 pairs, 1 stands behind the court, the other stands on the other side with the hoop.
• Side A serves 5 times a concentrated tight float service through the hoop held above it by the other.
• After that change.
• Then one more time but then the hoop is held half a meter above the ground elsewhere in the field.
• Do move and also on position 3/4 conflict zone.

• On one side of the field there is a six in full formation.
• On the other side are 3 players.
• Behind the 3 players stand the servers.
• Exercise:
  • Servers serve the ball, the 6 team defends this ball and plays out the rally.
  • The 3-man team may defend and also rally.
• Point count:
  • Service error, 1 point for the team that was set up.
  • Ball on ground by the 3 team, point for the essayed team.
  • Good service, but rally won by 3-player, point for 3-player.
  • IF 3-TAL has 3 points three move on, if TEAM has 12 points, 3-tal and all servers must push up 5x.

• 2 teams.
• All teams have 8 pawns.
• You try to hit the pawns of the other team, if you succeed you may pick up the pawn and put it next to your own pawns.
• Who has the most pawns after a certain number of minutes, has won.

• Ball route:
  • Player 1 serves to player 3.
  • 3 passes the ball on 2/3 to player 4.
  • Player 4 gives set-up.
  • Player 3 comes for the attack.
  • He hits straight ahead or diagonally.
  • Agree on beforehand.
  • Server (player 1) defends this ball.
• Walking route:
  • After player 1 serves, player 2 serves.
  • Player 3 and 4 exchange tasks.
  • When one side has served twice (player 1 and 2).
  • Player 3 and 4 start serving.
  • Player 1 and 2 attack and defend.

• Serve in pairs over the net from the (back) line.
  • If necessary divide over 2 fields.
  • Distribute the hoops on one side of the net.
• Child with ball in serving position, other stands in a hoop on the other side.
• If the ball can be caught without stepping out of the hoop, the hoop is won.
• After each serve change position, until there are no more hoops.
• Which team collects the most hoops?

Reception Drill:

• 2 balls per 3 players.
• Player A serves, immediately after the serve the server throws the second ball to the server,
• Player B takes reception to the distributor.
• The distributor is the one who runs after the lost balls, the server tries to play a good number of balls to the receiver.
• Passing after, either 1 minute, or 15 receptions, or 5 + receptions (with max of e.g. 20)

Buildup options:

• storage:
  • throw underhand,
  • overhand,
  • private storage,
  • float serve,
  • attack stroke,
  • plinth serve
• reception:
  • catch-and-throw,
  • mandatory underhand,
  • compulsory overhead,
  • start from knee up,
  • start 2m left of centre,
  • start at 3m,
  • start at 8m...

• Storage-Reception exercise
• Targeted serve to position 5-6
• Set-up to position 4, followed by attack (street) and drop ball.
• Reception players and setter move to cover and defend the ball high, centrally in the 3-meter zone.
• Best to provide spare balls to keep the pace high!

• All players stand outside the court behind the back line.
• They throw the ball up at their own pace/height and serve over the net.
• Extend: Practice targeted serving.
• Put 1 or 2 hoops in the field and let the players serve to them.
• You can practice with:
  • Overhand serve
  • Underhand serves
  • Float serves
  • Jump serve

• In pairs 3 metres apart (practise storage),
  • Then stand further apart: 4 - 5 - 6 m
• Throwing with hands, body stationary

Side a: formationSide
b: someone position 6 - position 5 and position 1

OBJECTIVE
: Side a gets every ball against and tries to score from this situation
.

• First ball: serve side b
• Second ball: freeball coming from side b (side b builds up and tries to pass "difficult" freeball)
• Third ball: attack position 6
• Third ball: attack position 1

• Side a is not allowed to place the ball in the 3m line at side b, everything behind the 3.
• But side b is allowed to attack in the 3m line.
• Let's see how easy it goes.

Per 3 - working in rows - 1 ball

• 1 person on 3 meter line with ball - serve
• 1 person at the net - catch the ball
• 1 person on 3 meter line without ball - reception

OBJECTIVE:

• Hit 10 balls per person - float
  • First ball: serve from 3 meters to reception at 3 meters
  • Second ball: pass from 5 meter to reception at 5 meter
  • Third ball: pass from backline to reception at 5 meter
