Volleyball drills

• everyone in a line with the ball between their feet
• always jump with the ball between their legs
• they jump to a cone, around it and back again.
• tap the next one, etc.
• additions: forwards, sideways, slalom, through the hoop
• make it a competition

• first explain the technique (triangle, above the head, 10 fingers play the ball)
• Two pairs with a net in between and only play overhead.
• Let the pairs rotate (always new pairs).

This exercise assumes that the players know where they must stand and which zone is for them. So explain this well in advance

• Players stand in the right zone
• Reserve player serves the ball
• Block/defence, trainer throws in the ball
• After every service turn.
• Serve only when they think they are in the right position
  • Also serve if they are not in the right position and serve on the uncovered position.
• They have to correct each other where they should stand.
• Throw a ball into the difficult zone every now and then. Who was this ball for?
• It's about recognizing your own zone. Who takes which ball? Call loose when in doubt etc
• Make clear agreements in advance!

• 1 playmaker
• 1 "false-dead" in the other half
• 1 attacker without ball
• Rest with the ball in a row behind the attacker.
  • Number 1 with the ball throws to the distributor, who gives a set up and the attacker tries to score.
  • The shamode tries to pass the ball and catch it, if he succeeds, the attacker is "dead" and has to take over the place of the shamode who may now join the row
  • If the attacker scores he gets the ball himself and joins the back of the row

• Spread over 3m line.
  • Pass the ball in a zigzag and follow through. See picture
• Later play underhand, only overhand.
  • One side of the net underhand, other side overhand.
    
    

• abs:
  • sit up
  • oblique sit up
• back muscles:
  • lift left leg and right arm
  • hands under the chin
• arm muscles:
  • spin around, pump
• leg muscles:
  • sqaud, lunges

• The players are evenly matched on one side of the pitch.
• e.g. 4-4 they play in 3 contacts every time someone has played a ball that person runs to the back line and taps it and comes back so you play all the time
• you can play this all over the field, inside the 3 meter line or outside the 3 meter line

• Ladder walking at high speed. Can be extended with left-right stepping out of the ladder with one or two feet.
• Slalom around the pawns.
• Attack pass to the net and shuffle backwards (3x attack pass and 2x shuffle).
• Step under the net.
• Sideways past the net with head under net edge.
• Make a dive across the field.
• Walk around the pawn and sprint over the backline.
• Run back to starting position.

• Trainer stands with ball carrier at the net
• Players divide into 2 groups
• 1 group stands on the left side of the field other group stands on the right side of the field

• Trainer throws the ball alternately left and right of the field,
• players have to catch the ball and put it back in the cart and then close again on the other side.
• Extension: players can play reception to the net and catch the ball themselves.

The aim is to shift focus, so don't dwell on it for too long but be ready for the next action straight away.

• Make 3 teams with 1 regular volleyball and 1 tennis ball.
• The one with the tennisball is the lummel (player 2) and stands in the middle.
• Player 1 plays the ball to the dummy, the dummy throws the tennis ball to player 1.
• The dummy plays the ball to player 1 and player 1 throws the tennisball to the dummy again.
• After this player 1 plays the ball to player 3, player 3 plays the ball to the lummel, and the lummel throws the tennisball to player 3.
• to player 3. The dummy plays the ball to player 3 again and gets the tennisball back. etc...
• requires concentration of the players and fast switching.
  • If you don't have tennisballs you can also use 2 balls.

• 2 rows of players
  • 1 row on the left back
  • 1 row at the right back
• create with 4 pawns a virtual line where they have to stand behind
• trainer stands at the other side of the net and throws the ball somewhere in the field.
• 1 of the 2 front rows calls LOS orI (agree on that)
• this player passes the ball (in/to) the basket that is between position 2 and 3.
• Ball in the basket is 2 points for the team, against the basket is 1 point.
• Set a target for the team, for example 25 points.

It is possible to add a distributor and an attacker, provided the assignment runs well.
