Volleyball drills

• 2 teams, whoever can move the mat the fastest across the field to the other side.
• They must all stay on the mat.
• Pass the ball overhead.
• A to C.
• C to B. (A runs to the front),
• B to D. (or A, depends on team size),
• D to A. (or C)
• The team that reaches the other side first wins.

• 1 row behind the left or right buildup.
• Everyone with ball.
• Player 1 left or right structure in start with ball diagonally towards pawn for penalty line.
• 1 pawn on the middle of the build-up with 1 player without the ball behind it.
• Player 2 runs diagonally behind player 1 and receives the ball.
• Player 1 makes a 0 pass if player 2 doesn't pass in time otherwise make the change on speed.
• Player 2 shoots at goal.
• Player 1 walks backwards to the pawn in the middle of the build-up to receive the ball and shoot at the goal.
• Repeat until everyone has been there.

• Two against three.
• The third player stands at the back line ready to serve.
• Serving is alternating. Two players agree on who will change in the team to serve.
• One player stays.
• Or if they want to and can keep up with it they can go full steam ahead with the serve.
• The service receiving side has fixed setter.
• Setter goes under the net to switch teams.
• Pace of serving may be increased if it is going well.
• Preference, full smash, and full defend.

• Objective:
  • Develop ball sense, be able to control ball close to your body.
• Everyone has their own ball, can be combined with a warm-up.

• Let the ball bounce on your right fist.
• Up to maximum eye level.
• Arm is stretched out and is almost horizontal.
• Stay in one place as much as possible.
• Later on, alternate bouncing with your left hand.
• Now do the same while following the yellow lines in a certain pattern.
• The person in front chooses the route (watch out for rear-end collisions!); who wants to take this role? (requires even more concentration and a sense of responsibility a la captain's role)

• Play the ball with only your right hand above your head, up to a maximum of 30cm higher than your hand
• Your upper arm is pointed 45 degrees upwards and your forearm 45 degrees in the other direction; this brings your hand above your shoulder again.
• The ball is played mainly with your wrist and forearm; stay in one place as much as possible.
• Later on, alternate with the left hand.
• Afterwards also in pattern.

• Play the ball in a fixed routine for yourself, for example:
• Square:
  • Underhand R, overhand R, overhand L, underhand L, underhand R, ...etc. (change later to the right)
• Cross:
  • Lower hand R, upper hand L, upper hand R, lower hand L, lower hand R, ...etc.

• In teams of four (preferably) with each its own ball.
• Stand in a square; all equally spaced.
• Throw the ball to the next person and catch the ball that is thrown to you.
• First throw underhand and catch underhand; then throw abovehand and catch abovehand.
• Then expand by passing 1 ball.

• Choose a spot opposite the wall.
• Sit in front of the wall with your feet against the wall.
• Play overhead against the wall. (Ball just above eye level)
• Pay attention to the movement of the wrist and a little bit of the forearm.
• The ball will only bounce about 10cm this way.
• If necessary, extend the game by slowly standing up, playing standing up for 10 seconds and then sitting down again.
• Let them play a route along the wall: bounce briefly (10cm) and play overhand (right).
• At the end of the route, take a distance of 2 meter from the wall and keep on playing overhand while walking left until the beginning of the route, close to the wall.
• Everyone in line; if you lose the ball, pick it up and go back to the line.

Trainer throws balls

1. Sv plays set-up
2. Attackers attack over the net. Go and get the ball. On the other side of the net
3. Place ball in ballcarrier
   • Also perform with set-up to position 2
   • Also perform with alternating set-up to position 2 and position 4.
4. Trainer throws 6 balls on different spots.
5. Sv must always return to home position.

1. Pass the ball from pos 6 to pos 3.
2. Run in, turn + set-up to pos 4, then cover.
3. Idem but set-up to pos 2
4. Idem but on pos 6 first CT, then play the ball forward and now after turning in play a jumped set-up.

Three balls per two players.

1. Throw your own ball and catch it again.
   • Third ball is tested over and over again
2. Same as in jump pass

One ball per player

1. One ball touch. other ball roll
2. One ball pass, other ball collide
3. One ball push. throw other ball
4. Idem 1) and 2) but with jumped set-up

• Trainer strikes ball at pos 1,6.
• Players bring the pass --> SV --> AV.
• Other side defends ball and completes rally
• Space through on both sides

• 2 pairs on both sides of the net with 1 ball
• The ball is played back and forth in threes;
• The back player passes, the front player sets, the back player comes in and plays the ball easily over the net.
• The players at the other side do the same
• Front and back players rotate every time the ball is played over the net.
• After that, a simple attacking stroke and possibly a hard attacking stroke can be added.

• 2 rows of players
  • 1 row on the left back
  • 1 row at the right back
• Create with 4 pawns a virtual line where they must stand behind
• Trainer stands at the other side of the net and throws the ball somewhere in the field
• One of the two front row players calls LOS orI (let's agree)
• This player passes the ball over the net to the previous player.
• Catch a round for the next player
• If you did not have the ball, join the shortest row

Goal : block displacement + reaction speed

• A blocks at the net. (Start pos. 4/2)
• After each block, A defends the ball from B, then from C --> D.

Extension : Someone can also throw in a ball from the other side of the net. A blocks the ball and then defends B's ball.
