Volleyball drills for technique serving

A team of servers and a team of passers

The passers work as follows:

• 3 passers, 1 playmaker, 2 passers in the waiting room
• Passers make a pass formation and pass the ball to the 2/3 position
• Playmaker catches ball and rolls it to the players
• The passer goes to the 2/3 position to catch the ball
• The catcher tries to play the ball 2x for himself
• The MA, if not passing, takes the position of the passer (LA or RA), if the MA is passing then RA/LA remain standing
• The person in the waiting room takes the position of the MA

The server throws the ball up, catches it with one hand and throws it over the ball (DUS NOT SERVING).

After a certain amount of time, change positions and possibly serve the second round.

SIDE A:

1. Player on position 3
2. Player on position 6
3. Position 5 -> attack at position 4
4. Position 1 -> attack at position 2

SIDE B:

• 2 or 3 raisers position 5 - straight ahead
• 2 or 3 raisers for position 1 - straight ahead
• Mat position 1 - diagonal
• Mat position 5 - diagonal
• Mat position 2 short behind "block" = always point
• Mat position 2 short slanted behind "block" = alwayspoint
• Mat position 4 short slanted behind "block" = always point

Quiet storage straight ahead

• Storage between position 5 and 6 // storage between 6/1
  • After reception Marie moves closer to position 1 to take the reception
• Reception - pass - attack
  • Pass in turn
• Position 5 and 1 attack position 4 and position 2

INTENT:

• Ball does not fall to our side on attack = SOLVE
• Bad pass = SOLVE
• Taking risks is allowed

• 2 persons save position 5
  • 30 serves: 5 serves each
    
    

SIDE B

• 1 person position 5
• 1 person position 6
• 1 person position 1

Storage - reception - trainer catches up

• At least 20 receptions good, if not:
  • Number of receptions less than 20 = times 5 sit-ups

3 persons on a 3 meter line behind each other.

Stores on two sides.

Lay down mats:

1. Position 1
2. Position 3 - short
3. Between position 5 and position 6

First 1 for 1:

• Player has a hoop
• Trainer throws the ball over the net, player has hoop in his hands and has to make sure the ball goes through the hoop.
• Player passes the hoop to the next player in line.
• Player puts ball in trainer's box

Next step:

• Divide the group on two halves of the field
• Player 1 serves the ball over the net
• Player 2 makes sure the ball goes through the hoop
• Player 1 joins the back at the hoop catchers
• Player 2 passes on the hoop and takes the ball to serve

• Three defenders in the field
• One person who catches
• Rest: serve
• Strikes follow each other quickly
• Each person in the field must make 5 perfect receptions to the receiver.
• Catcher determines if the reception is good
• When a defender has made 5 perfect receptions, he becomes a catcher and the catcher starts to serve

• Make two teams.
• Set up a two benches one person sits on the bench.
• Other on the other side of the net who are going to serve to the person on the bench when the ball is caught 1 point and then switch persons.

Three players line up to pass (numbers 3, 4 and 5). Player 2 stands ready at the side of the same court. The other players are ready with ball to serve on the other side.

• Player 1 serves the ball (and then runs straight to where player 2 is already standing).
• A player passes the ball to the server on position 2/3. The server gives a setup. And the third player plays the ball over the net.
• When the ball is over the net, the players turn: 2 enters the field (where 3 stood before) 3 goes to mid-back, 4 goes to the spot of 5 and 5 goes the serving spot of the other half.
• Then the next player can serve, on the drawing this is player 8. Etc.

Besides technique, communication is very important in volleyball. And both aspects apply to this exercise. And respond adequately to situations which are different than normal. In such an exercise you see very well how different players are.

3 players position for passing (numbers 3, 4 and 5). Player 2 is ready on the side of the same side. The other players are ready with the ball to serve on the other side.

• Player 1 serves the ball (and immediately walks back to where player 2 is standing).
• A player passes the ball. Another player sets up. And a third player plays the ball over the net. All three players have to play the ball, or pass, or set up, or attack
• When the ball is over the net, the players rotate: 2 enters the field (where 3 was standing) 3 goes to centre back, 4 goes to where 5 was standing, and 5 goes to the serving spot on the other side.
• Then the next player can serve, player 8 on the drawing etc.
