Volleyball drills

• Individual exercise to improve ball feeling with one hand.
• Each player has 1 volleyball, mini volleyball, tennis ball, juggling ball (or for advanced players a non round object; a light plastic container or light bottle for example, but can be used with anything).
• The goal of the players is to keep the ball in the air by hitting it as many times as possible with only one hand.
• Have the players count how many times they can do this per the 2 minutes per task.
• Possible assignments:
• - Underhand lobsmash
• - Over your head
• - Hit your leg afterwards with the hand you played with
• - Clap your hands after touching them
• - Lying down -> sitting -> standing (and back)
• - Raising your knee/heel
• - Against the wall
• - In pairs one player under, the other over the net=
  Be creative! =
  
• Possible exercise for several people. (see image)
• One or more in the middle, the rest around it.
• Setters play the ball somewhere around them, the rest have to make sure that the ball is returned to setters in X number of times.
• Agree on how many times the ball can be played.
• Exercise stimulates:
• - Communication
• - Reflexes
• - Ball sense
  
  
  

• Course:
• Start at the ladder.
• Shuffle to the middle of the net.
• Make a block jump -> to the right and another block jump.
• Slalom around the poles.
• Shuffle around the pawns.

• Making a circle,
• The circle always consists of pairs of players.
• In the middle of the circle there are exactly the number of balls minus 1.
• The players stand behind each other,
• At the start signal the player in the back jumps three times on the back of the player in front,
• After 3 times this player runs 2 rounds on the circle, crawls between the legs of his buddy and takes a ball,
• The last one to come has no ball.

• 2 teams - 1 ball.
• Throw over the net, try to score.
• After each ball, rotate position.

• 3 players at the net with a ball
• they play alternately short and long
• defenders move from right to left

Goal: improve the prick ball, high at the net.

• 4 against 4.
• Trainer throws the ball from pos. 6 in such a way that the midfield and possibly the left and right front have to prick the ball.
• Try to push the ball down with 2 hands, big hands.
• Also push left and right.
• Opposite 4 team, also try to pick up/block the ball.

• A starts with shuffle sideways, then on 3m line sideways,(B waits for A to start sideways)
• Attack jump to the net,
• sideways and on mid a block jump,
• At the end of the game a block jump on both sides of the net,
• 2x shuffle backwards to 3m line, attack jump,
• Long shuffle to the backline,
• back to the beginning 2x.

Variation:

• There are many variation possibilities,
• In addition to all forms of movement (shuffle, sideways, backwards, running), diving and/or rolling forwards and backwards can also be included in the course.

• Divide the team into four groups.
• Each group gets an ace (hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs).
• The rest of the cards are covered in the middle of the room.
• The 4 groups stand in a corner of the room.
• One player may walk to the center of the field, turn over one card and then return.
• Only if the card has the same shape as your own ace, you may take it.
• If wrong, the card must be covered and they return empty-handed.
• In order to first collect all cards of the own figure.

• 3 players at the net with a ball.
• The rest of the players start at the first post.
• The first ball is thrown short, second ball long and third ball short.
• The player passes the ball back and moves sideways to the next one.

Important that players move on the front feet and get ready to pass the ball.

• Learning the defense system
• 1 side with 4: leave 1st time (= at net / 3M line)
• Surplus on the other side.
• Red/ blue throws the ball in nr PASPLEK.
• Then the ball is passed to pos 2 or 3.
• This player catches the ball and then makes an attacking run and throws the ball over.
• Attacker who doesn't get the ball does AP + sliding dive to cart and takes new ball.
• Side with 4 does the right moves.
• Catch the ball --> position 1 runs in puts BH pass to position 4 --> plays over
• 5 balls and turn over

• Per 2: 10x
• White hits the ball = sign that blue may move backwards
• White touches the ball --> blue plays the ball to the middle of the front (white moves to the middle of the field after the touch)
• Blue does sliding dive to front
• On 3:
• Same as above but with sliding dive outside the box --> move on

• On both sides players on position 1, 3 and 4.
• Take turns setting up the ball.
• Position 4 sets up the ball.
• Ball setter hits ball --> passer runs in and sets up pass.
• Position 3 gets loose from the net and plays ball diagonally across.
• Other side makes its move!
• Passer also moves backwards and makes a pass.
• If successful, play on.
