Volleyball drills for technique setting / overarm technique

1 ball/ person

• everyone plays ball individually BH against wall above a line
• players count each other
• keep score

• Everyone on one position, we don't play center.
• Basically you play a small game, with only rallies.
• At each round you walk the lines as an outside attacker, walk from the front of the net to the three meter line to defend the balls within the three meter.
• At every rally that goes well over the net, you rotate one spot.

• See picture.
• Take turns throwing the ball.
• After throwing the ball touch the back line and return to the same spot.
• Throwing good?
• Then everything underhand. Later all above hands.

• 1 defender starts behind the back line
• C plays high ball in the field
• 1 comes in and plays overhead to S
• S sets up backwards to 4
• attack straight ahead, attacker gets the ball
• 1 becomes attacker and 2 defender

VARIATION: attack on other position, with block, defense

• Player A throws/strikes the ball towards player C.
• Player C passes the ball to player B.
• Player B sets up the ball.
• Player C attacks if the pass was good.
  
  

Goal: Try to attack/play 3rd ball on the imaginary mats (straight or diagonal).

After each ball: A to row position C, C to row position A, B change after a while.

Extension: With enough players one-woman block.

• See picture.
• Take turns throwing the ball.
• After throwing the ball touch the back line and walk to the next spot.
• Throwing good?
• Then everything underhand.
• Later all above hands.

Two players

• player 1 plays the ball overhand to player 2
• while player 2 throws the ball immediately to player 1,
• so play 1 ball constantly + throw and catch 1 ball at the same time.
• playing high and throwing fast and aimed: time!

• 2 players/1 hoop
• Player A hits the ball over the net from the hoop she is at 2m from the net,
• he runs behind and catches the ball after a bounce,
• then he dribbles twice and tips the ball back into the hoop;
• player B catches the ball and performs the exercise as well
• Challenge: 1 point when the ball bounces the edge and 2 points when it falls in

- 1 defender starts behind the back line
- C plays high ball in the field
- 1 comes in and plays overhead to S
- S set-up to where attacker is standing
- attack straight ahead, attacker gets the ball
- 1 becomes attacker and 2 defender
VARIATION 1: Harder hit ball, with fixed libero in defence.
VARIATION 2: IDEM to 1, but with block after your attack.

• Player A serves the ball to player C.
• Player C passes the ball to player B.
• Player B sets up the ball.
• Player D attacks.

Goal: try to attack/play 3rd ball on the mats (straight or diagonal).

After each ball move one place in your own group.

Extension: When there are enough players, one could also choose to place a block.

2 teams. 2 playing fields.

Setup zone and passing zone.

• Ball must be passed into the second zone.
• Ball is passed into the setup zone.
• Setup is done behind the 3 meter line (ball is hit standing up over the net).
• Setup player walks over the line of action
• Pass player goes to setup zone.
• New passer can only enter the field when old setup has passed the backline.

• 2 balls per pair.
• One throws the ball, the other plays back the BH.
• Throw in the second ball when the first one comes back.
• Together they keep 2 balls in the air: so twice as much ball-contact as when working with 1 ball.
• Variations/expansions: throw something left/right (move > stand still), throw short/long.
