Volleyball drills

• players form pairs
• 1 player stands ready to defend the ball, other player stands behind with a ball
• at a moment the player in the back throws the ball with a small curve over ( left or right ) the player in front.
• This player tries to get the ball up for the second bots ( fist under the ball or ducking ).
• The intention is that players react to an unexpected situation.

• Place 3 pawns around a player.
  • 1 to the left, 1 to the right and 1 behind (working player)
• Another player, with the ball, is going to indicate to which pawn the working player has to move (good posture = hands loose in front of the body).
• At an unexpected moment, the player with the ball throws the ball (preferably not too easy) and the intention is that the working player defends the ball.
• Repeat this a few times and then change players.

• 2 teams
• play the ball 3x and then throw it over
• when you have played the ball tap the back line

Left / right ball --> play back underhand (20x then change)

) Everything

mixed left / right, deep / short

Just play with a pair of under and overhands.

Possibly with assignments after the game:

• Tap a line
• Knee on the ground
• Two hands on the ground
• Turn around
• ...

• A throws to B
• B plays into C
• C sets up and B plays over the net
• Run after own ball

• Four men on the back line.
• The rest stands around the field to pick up balls.
• One by one they enter the field and get a ball from the trainer.
• They have to touch the ball otherwise they get another one.
• When they are finished they come in at the back.
• Start slowly and make it harder.

• 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.

• jump up from a crouch as far as possible,
• from the line to the net and back.

• Player T.A. from the net:
  • 3 teams on the back line on the belly
• Player gives slap on ball, 3 players stand up and trainer attacks one of the trio defends, nr. 2 setup and nr. 3 attacks
  • then next 3 team
• Andre side are 3 blockers.
• Slide through per 3 team

Goal: ball lane recognition, take position in time.

• Ball path: A throws to B, B passes to C.
• Direction of play: A, B, C
• B moves (before the ball has passed the net) to the right position (90%) and is active instead of re-active.
• B assumes the correct position when the ball passes the net.
• B adjusts in the remaining time to the correct position (10%).
• Possibly build up:
  • First B catches the ball with bent arms.
  • after that B passes the ball underarms.

Learning the pancake roll in 5 exercises:

1. dry practise, step-by-step (repeat 5 times) (
below describes a roll to the right; swap right/left for a roll to the left) - start position
underhand pass (sit low)
- step out one leg (right) to the side and bend the knee very deeply -
slide
(
right) hand over the ground diagonally right to the front (pancake)
- sink through until the right hip is on the ground -
swing
the legs
over the hips to the other side - during the swing
bend
the
stretched (left) leg and stretch the bent (right) leg - by the speed of the swing turn through
so that you come back in the underhand pass position

2. Get used to it (is also good to use as a warming-up exercise) -
start on the sideline facing the net -
roll to the other sideline
in three times
-
roll
back to the
first sideline
in three times
(or walk back if you want to learn the roll in one direction first)

3. gaining experience (repeat 5 times) -
pairs with 1 ball - thrower with
ball near the net, defender at 6 or 7 meter
- throw the ball, so that it lands on the ground 2 meters next to and 1 meter in front of the defender
- the defender tries to hit the ball with a pancake roll (the roll is first more important than hitting the ball)

4. get accuracy -
trio or quartet with 2 or 3 balls (1 defender, the rest is throwing) - the throwers
stand on LV, MV and possibly on RV, the defender stands on the sideline (LA)
- the LV throws the ball so that it lands on the ground 2 metres next to and 1 metre in front of the defender - the
defender tries to hit the ball with a pancake roll
- as soon as the defender has finished the roll, the MV throws the ball so that it lands on the ground 2 metres next to and 1 metre in front of the defender
- the defender tries to hit this ball with a pancake roll as well
- as soon as the defender has finished the roll, the LV throws the ball so that it lands on the ground 2 metres next to and 1 metre in front of the defender again - the defender tries to hit
this ball with a pancake roll as well - after 5 times the
players rotate through on position

5. roll in both directions -
trio with 2 balls (2 throwers, 1 defender) - the throwers
stand on LV and MV, the defender stands on the sideline (LA)
- the MV throws the ball so that it hits the ground on the right side, 2 metres next to and 1 metre in front of the defender
- the defender tries to hit the ball with a pancake roll to the right
- as soon as the defender has finished the roll, the LV throws the ball so that it lands on the ground on the left side at 2 metres next to and 1 metre in front of the defender - the
defender tries to hit this ball with a pancake roll to the left - after 5 times the players
turn around
in
position
