Volleyball drills

simple running exercises for warming up, in which concentration and reaction also play an important role. Organisation: Pairs in an empty, marked out space.

Walk behind each other in a steady pace, criss-crossing the whole room. Number 2 follows every movement of number 1 as fast as possible, keeping about 1 metre distance. After a while change.

As a., but now the front runner tries to lose the back runner by sudden feints and/or tempo changes.

As a., but now other movements are also allowed: cross passes, jumping, lying down quickly and getting up again, etc.

Variations:

• Perform the same exercises with music
• Do the same exercises in groups of three or four. In this form, 'comical' situations will certainly occur now and then. It doesn't have much to do with korfball then.
• No more pairs: everyone walks freely through each other. The players walk towards each other, feint and then pass to the left.
• Like d., but now passing on the right
• Like d., but now they turn around each other and walk back.
• Special exercise for getting used to the hall: walk criss-cross through the whole hall, but not touching any line. Especially in halls with a lot of lines on the floor this is a good and fun exercise to get the 'contact with the hall' back in the legs.
• Like g., but now keep walking on the lines.

• 2 players, 1 ball
• net lower
• 1 player plays the ball soft and short over the net
• 1 player blocks
• hands over the net -> ball down
• 1 player is at the service of the blocker.
• It is about the success of the blocker (possibly lower the net for smaller players).

• group of 4-6
• choose a word beforehand with +- 6 to 7 letters (e.g. serve)
• The first serves on a spot in the field.
  • if necessary, place a number of mats or hoops.
• The others must serve on the same spot
  • The 1st one also joins in.
• If this doesn't work, they get a letter.
• if you have the whole word you are finished
  • possibly play bra against the wall or something
• Again with someone else as first.

• trainer or player throws in at the centre (possibly a ribbon to mark the net)
• player walks in from the right and gives set-up in the basket
• fetch own ball and give it to the trainer/ put it in the ball pit.
• Do the exercise from the left as well. Then SETUP BACKwards.

• just replay in pairs
• overhand and underhand

Party, the team that has to play next Saturday plays against the rest.

Children stand on the backline, the ball is thrown by the trainer, the player passes to the trainer and the trainer throws to the ball again, the goal is to get the pass to the midfielder.

Ping Pong in the large, the thick mats are placed on the 4 benches so that together with 2 cabinets in the middle a large Ping Pong field forms.

• as soon as a player has served he has to be ready to deal with a possible ball from a trainer.
• this is only about being ready after the service.
