Volleyball drills
Make pairs.
Two pawns per pair.
Two pawns per pair.
- One throws the ball and the other passes.
- When passing, make sure the ball can be caught overhead.
- Throw the ball left and then right.
- Increase the pace during the exercise.
- Scramble to practice understanding.
- The players stand in front of the net with a ball
- They throw the ball into the net
- They take the ball out underhand
- Do a reception short over the net
- They crawl under the net and catch the ball
- They roll the ball and dive after it
- They start again
- All players have a ball.
- Divide the group into two - maximum 4 to 5 players per group.
- Near the net is the ball pit.
Exercise per group:
- Play up overhead in front of yourself and keep playing.
- Slowly move towards the net, keep playing up.
- Overhand: Play up high, quickly get under the ball, stand still and then play.
- At the net: => play the ball IN the ball pit. The distance does not matter.
- Ball on the ground => start again from the back line.
Same exercise can be done with underhand play up to the net + play IN the ball box.
For the better players there can be a third round:
- Ball bin on the back line of the other field, players must now pass the net. Play over it, themselves under it. Underhand or overhead no longer matters, as long as the back line is crossed.
- Lined up in front of the three-meter line
- Coach throws to player from the net
- Player reception back in the basket at the net
- Possibly also on the other side
- The attacker puts a block.
- The thrower hits over this.
- The libero or passer passes the ball to the server.
- The server passes the ball to the attacker who just blocked.
- The thrower puts a block and the attacker hits straight through to the defender, who defends for himself.
- Passing: passer becomes attacker -> attacker becomes backup defender -> defender becomes backup thrower -> thrower becomes backup passer.
- 3 players in the middle play overhand for themselves.
- 2 players outside also play overhand for themselves.
- The outside players run around it.
- And pass in between.
- Two balls at once
- Players at position 5 and 1 on two sides of the field, also 2 playmakers.
- Ball from position 5 to server to position 1, to position 5 other side and so on.
- Players run after their ball, except for the playmakers.
- 2 agility exercises
- 2 reaction exercises
- 1.5 minutes per round
- Trainer brings the ball into play towards the passer by throwing/striking.
- Of the two passers, the one who claims the ball will play the ball to 1 of the 2 SVs.
- SV gives long setup towards attack.
- Attacker hits ball straight through and retrieves ball, ball in ball box, joins passers.
PASS -> SV
SV -> ATTACK
ATTACK -> PASS
SV -> ATTACK
ATTACK -> PASS
- Trainer throws balls.
- Players line up.
- Ball is thrown left or right.
- Players try to catch as best they can.
- Groups of 3 people of approximately equal height.
- The thrower pays attention to the correct steps:
- Short, Long, Connect, Take arms with jump.
- Attacker asks for higher/lower ball to get the timing right.
- Defender determines start of exercise.
Setting:
- One ball per 3-team.
- 2 Blockers face each other at the net.
- Setter next to 1 of the blockers.
Rotation:
- Defender determines start, countdown = 3-2-1 block => try => hands touch each other above the net.
- Defender => shuffle backwards to about 5-6 meter position -speed !
- Attacker => fast to the 3 meters ready for attack.
- Throw up => almost straight up on indication of height attacker.
- Attacker => straight up calm stroke.
- Defender => Pass up and catch.
- Thrower to other side of the net.
- Same principle but mirrored.
- 5x attack per person so 10x toss up.
- Mutual exchange, 3x total, everyone is the thrower once.
Practice attack run a few times with a few runs beforehand.
Attention => short long short, slant run, take your arms into the jump, try to get as high as possible.
Then do this exercise in pairs:
Attention => short long short, slant run, take your arms into the jump, try to get as high as possible.
Then do this exercise in pairs:
- 1 person throws up
- 1 person does attack pass with timing => catch as high as possible with 2 hands.
- Thrower pay attention to correct steps: Short, Long, Connect, take arms with jump.
- Catcher asks for higher / lower ball so timing is right.
1) First phase: Run-up from about 3 meter line => 5x good jump timing, then change
2) Second phase: Start with fake-block, fast backwards, around the pawn => Throw-up => 5x good jump timing then change.
2) Second phase: Start with fake-block, fast backwards, around the pawn => Throw-up => 5x good jump timing then change.
