Volleyball drills

• Make pairs. Each pair has 2 tennis balls.
• Player 1 holds arms extended outward with 1 tennis ball in each hand.
• Player 2 stands about 1 meter in front of player 1.
• Player 1 drops 1 ball in a random order.
• Player 2 must try to catch the ball as fast as possible to prevent it from falling on the ground.

• Everyone is divided over the room.
• Then everyone takes 2 persons in mind and gives these persons and themselves a number. 1, 2 or 3.
• The player must now make sure that he is standing in a straight line with these 2 players (in order 1-2-3).
• But everyone has other players in mind so chaos ensues and the players must work together to find a solution.

Make two teams. These players face each other with a ball in the middle on the ground.
The trainer takes turns calling out something for the players to do. This can be :

• Head (tap head)
• Shoulders (tap the shoulders)
• Knee (tap the knees)
• Toe (tap toes)
• Ball (grab the ball)

The pairs compete against each other, trying to get the ball as quickly as possible and win.

1. 4 players in pass on 1
2. the rest of the players stand on the other side of the net to catch and throw the ball
   1. first player throws the ball over
   2. set-up with pass to outfield player
   3. outfield player places the ball in the marked zones
3. after each attack we rotate

Per player 1 ball:

• throw up the ball for yourself and stop it through reception (bend your knees well)
• same exercise but now play OH first
• same exercise but play BH
• combination, play OH, control BH and catch in reception

• players stand in a triangle 2 at the net 1 someone in the square player gives ball to other player passes and the other catches the ball and turns around

The field is divided in 4 equal fields

• per field 2 players
• ball is thrown OH over the net
• the other players do a correct OH ball recovery by playing it to the basket, the player who is not on the ball runs to the basket and takes the bra.
• the easy version ends here

You can make this exercise more difficult by playing in one time.

Warm up from the back line to the net:

• run
• unscrew right arm
• Untie the left arm
• Untie both arms
• raise your knee
• heels-bottoms
• sideways (left and right)
• cross pass
• dive

• Make two teams.
• One of each team goes to the other side. This one sits on his buttocks on position 1.
• He serves, the ball must be caught.
• After that move to position 2, 3, 4, 5.
• The team that catches the ball first at position 5 has won.

Emphasis is on technique OH, so start with throwing the ball, if this goes well you can switch to key, attack or serve.

1. R1 throws the ball over to R2
2. R2 passes OH the ball to P2 (can be placed on a mat, where he/she is not allowed to get off) (comes into BH position)
3. P2 passes BH to A2
4. A2 passes to R1
5. R1 passes OH the ball to P1 (may be placed on a mat, which he/she is not allowed to leave) (enters BH position)
6. P1 passes BH to A1
7. A1 plays to R2
8. ....

1. Trainer plays ball to passer
2. Passer gives BH pass to attacker
3. Attacker plays to the predetermined zones by means of a BH

Turn after every ball

Exercise can be made more difficult by placing a defence (block)

• Play in pairs.
• Player at the net plays overhand,
• The other passes underhand.
• Before the back-player passes, she taps the ground with both hands.
• Goal: sit low
