Volleyball drills
- start at the back line (or choose other lines)
- tap 1 line to the front
- back to the starting line -> touch it
- 2 lines forward -> touch
- 1 line back -> touch
- 2 lines forward -> touch
- etc
See picture. Take turns throwing the ball. After throwing the ball touch the back line and go back to the same spot.
Throwing good? Then all underhand. Later all above hands.
To practice jumping make 2 pairs.
It's not about the run up but purely about the jump.
1 of the 2 sits on the ground with the feet straight ahead and the arms spread.
The other jumps for example over the right arm after that over the legs and then again over left arm. (5 rounds and then switch)
- All 1 ball and first try to play overhead on 1 spot, then
- All 1 ball and hit the ground against the wall.
- Hit the ball so your wrist is over the ball.
- Remember to get out and both arms in the air.
- Walk slowly to the other side of the hall.
- One player indicates with a "Yes" that the other players have to do an assignment.
- On the way back another player gives the assignments.
The assignments can be made up by the players themselves. Until everyone has been. - Squats with arm swing, bend the knees (weight backwards as if you are sitting on a chair) swing the arms downwards and as soon as you come up with the arms again, the body comes up to the toes.
- Handwalk. Put your hand flat on the ground and walk as far as you can with your hands in front of you, walk back with your hands under the shoulder, press up and walk with your feet to the hands

Two teams in the length of the field.
Pass the ball at the net 10 times at 6 mtr and the player at 6 mtr passes the ball back.
Coach each other when things are not going well and indicate whether the ball is good or not.
Make 3 or 4 teams (depends on the amount of players).
1 player on 7mtr line and 2 at the net.
- Player 1 plays the ball overhand to player 2 (7mtr).
- Player 2 plays the ball underarms to player 3 (net)

and taps the ball 20 x and then change.
Sprawl trainingExplain the
sprawl. (gliding low over your forearm to catch the ball)
Start on your knees and make yourself long while sliding over your forearms.
If that goes well, let the group stand and do the same exercise while sitting low. This can still be a barrier for some players to continue You have to coach these players to get this technique right.
In the end they all go.
Then in groups of three hit the ball to practice.
- 1 hits (throws) the ball
- 1 does the sprawl
- 1 player catches the ball.
If this goes well you let the player on the 3mtr line start doing a split step backwards and do the sprawl forwards.
Note it is wise to have socks or long sleeves on with this exercise.
Make 3 or 4 teams (depends on the amount of players).
1 player on 7mtr line and 2 at the net.
- Left front plays the ball overhand to player 2 (7mtr).
- Player 2 plays the ball underarm to player 3 (net)
- Player 3 plays the ball overhand again to player 1.
If the exercise is running player 1 can hit the ball overhand (quietly).
